Overview

Risk Management in Business

Risk management is the process of the recognition, evaluation and controlling uncertainty or threats to an organization's capital, investment decisions and earnings.

The main purpose of the risk management is to give surety that uncertainty will not create obstacles in the way of reaching business goals.

Effective risk management strategies allow you to do the SWOT analysis of your project and make you alter for the unexpected events;

For a successful project, you need to define how to handle potential risks as it will provide you a way to recognize and mitigate problems at the time of requirement. Winning project managers are familiar with risk management’s importance, because they know that a project’s goals achievement relies on planning, research, results and assessment which contribute most to reach the strategic goals.

Risk management plans provide a catalogue of internal and external risks that consists of the recognized risks, potential influence and planned actions and probability of occurrence. Low risk events typically have a slight or no influence on cost, performance or schedule. Although moderate risks become the reason of an increase in budget, interruption of schedule or degradation of productivity. While high risk events cause a big increase in the cost, disturbance of the schedule or devaluing of performance.

This unit offers an outstanding introduction to the risk management along with its objectives. It typically focuses on the risk management process and evaluates the benefits of the risk management approach in depth.

Along with an exploration of the history of risk management and its key concepts, the elements of risk are also covered. Learn how to determine and manage uncertainty and its relationship to risk and discover the classification of risk.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
