Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a structured, proven process for proactively identifying and evaluating how events and forces of change impact an organization and its strategy and for developing measures for dealing with the risks that constantly threaten the achievement of an organization’s objectives and allows for the identification of opportunities. Organizations cannot wait to respond;
they must find a way to be more anticipatory. Respond means the risk has eventuated- we need to prevent not respond. ERM will aid in this regard.
ERM is a process that can serve many purposes; as a tool for risk management, strategic planning and identification of emerging opportunities and potential competitive advantages.
Given the current economic environment, which will, according to the experts, persist for the foreseeable future, it has become a critical imperative for organizations to either implement or enhance its Enterprise Risk Management framework. As the economy forces organizations to change strategies or implement new initiatives, new risks will emerge, and existing risks will change. Enterprise Risk Management should be employed not only to identify what can go wrong but also what needs to go right (i.e. new opportunities).
This International Certificate in Enterprise Risk Management (IC-ERM) is designed for today’s fast paced and increasingly complex operating and regulatory environment. This programme will provide modern techniques in Risk Management that will enhance existing skill sets and/or allow for new entrances in the field to progress faster.
