Description

This session will discuss the need to periodically assess a risk management program in order to determine the sufficiency and effectiveness. The program will discuss the timing and logistics of a comprehensive risk program risk assessment.

Once the assessment is completed, a strategic risk management plan should be created from the findings, with the ultimate result being a prioritized list of action items for completion during a 12-18 month period of time.

A case study will be utilized to show the need for the assessment, the actual findings, and the resulting risk plan and action items.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:

Develop a strategic risk management plan from the risk assessment findings.
Identify criteria for when a risk assessment is needed for a risk management program.
Learn methods to accomplish effective implementation of action items arising from the strategic plan
