This situation offers an opportunity for risk managers to provide expertise and leadership to the development of organizational policy and strategy. Session attendees will learn how to write an evaluation template to assess organizational vulnerability and define steps needed to coordinate a response to unreasonable behavior/demands.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:

  • write an evaluation template to assess organizational vulnerability;
