Alarm and Maven team up on Management of Risk
26th April 2010
Maven Training
and Alarm, the public risk management association have come
together to offer Management of Risk courses specifically tailored
to the public sector.
By running these joint courses Alarm is
continuing to embed its mission of supporting excellence in
public services through developing and establishing best
practice in public risk management, representing the interests of
public service risk practitioners and promoting excellence in the
use of risk management.
Maven are the largest privately owned provider of OGC accredited
courses in Management of Risk. They have become recognised for
their commitment to the risk management agenda running regular
public courses to help Risk Management Professionals develop
capability.
Alarm has around 1,700 members in the risk, insurance, finance,
audit, health & safety, emergency planning and business
continuity professions. Members are drawn from a wide range of
public service organisations, including national and local
government, health, housing, education, police and fire &
rescue services.
Utilising the M_o_R® guidance these
professionals ensure strategy, programmes, projects and operations
are prepared to take advantage of unexpected opportunities and deal
with business risks.
M_o_R® the OGC accredited Management of Risk
course is especially useful for Managers, directors and support
staff involved with, or setting up, a system to deal with practical
management of business risk. Working with Alarm, Maven has
tailored this course for the needs of public service managers and
staff, with both the case studies and the examinations based on
scenarios relating to the public sector.
To achieve the Foundation and Practitioner
qualifications professionals attend a one week course and sit two
papers, the Foundation paper is a 45 minute exam on day three and
the three hour Practitioner paper is taken on day five. During the
course we look at Organisational context and objectives,
stakeholder involvement, activities to enable Risk Management
planning, effective reporting structures, roles and
responsibilities, support structure, creating a central risk
function, early warning indicators, the review cycle for effective
Risk Management, overcoming barriers to implementing a risk
function, a supportive culture and continual improvement.
Maven Training is passionate about using learning in Risk
Management to get real cost benefits. Their experienced trainers
and high quality training materials help delegates to learn
effectively, so they can put their new skills into practice
quickly. They draw on their wide portfolio of knowledge to supply
the training solution that helps to build staff capability.
By joining together to deliver these course
both Alarm and Maven are looking forward to promoting best practice
in the Management of Risk arena where risk professionals help their
organisations to achieve their goals while making the best use of
internal and external factors.
