Day 1

Risk Management Fundamentals & Frameworks

Establish the principles, frameworks, and vocabulary of enterprise risk management.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Risk Management Fundamentals

  • Risk definition: uncertainty, likelihood, and consequence
  • ISO 31000:2018 principles and guidelines: risk management framework
  • COSO ERM framework: eight components and integration with strategy
  • Three lines of defence model: business, risk function, and audit
Module 2

Risk Culture & Governance

  • Risk appetite: definition, statement, and cascade to risk tolerances
  • Board and executive risk oversight: risk committee governance
  • Risk culture assessment: indicators of strong and weak risk culture
  • Behavioural risk: cognitive biases in risk perception and decision-making
Module 3

Risk Identification Methods

  • HAZID: structured hazard identification in energy sector
  • SWIFT analysis: structured what-if technique
  • Bow-tie analysis: threats, top event, consequences, and barriers
  • Workshop facilitation: preparing, running, and documenting risk identification
Practical Workshop

Risk identification workshop: teams facilitate a bow-tie analysis for a provided operational scenario, identifying threats, consequences, preventive barriers, and recovery barriers.

Day 2

Risk Assessment & Quantification

Apply qualitative and quantitative risk assessment methods to evaluate risk significance.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Qualitative Risk Assessment

  • Risk matrix design: likelihood and consequence scales and categories
  • Risk rating: inherent, current, and target risk levels
  • Subjectivity and calibration: anchoring and groupthink mitigation
  • Risk heat map construction and communication
Module 2

Semi-Quantitative Methods

  • Layer of protection analysis (LOPA): initiating events and IPL credit
  • Risk ranking scores: frequency × consequence scoring systems
  • Relative risk ranking: Pareto analysis and priority setting
  • Sensitivity analysis: key risk drivers and impact ranking
Module 3

Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

  • Fault tree analysis (FTA): cut sets and top event frequency
  • Event tree analysis (ETA): consequence probability branches
  • Monte Carlo simulation: probabilistic cost, schedule, and NPV risk
  • Individual and societal risk criteria: ALARP and F-N curves
Practical Workshop

Risk quantification exercise: teams build a simplified fault tree for a provided loss of containment scenario, calculate the top event frequency, and compare to the risk acceptance criterion.

Day 3

Risk Treatment & Controls

Design and evaluate risk treatment strategies and verify the effectiveness of controls.

8 hours 3 modules
Module 1

Risk Treatment Strategies

  • Risk avoidance, reduction, sharing, and acceptance: selection criteria
  • Hierarchy of controls: elimination, substitution, engineering, and administrative
  • Inherently safer design principles: minimise, substitute, moderate, simplify
  • Residual risk: acceptance and monitoring after treatment
Module 2

Control Design & Assurance

  • Control types: preventive, detective, directive, and corrective
  • Control effectiveness: design adequacy and operating effectiveness
  • Control assurance: testing plan, frequency, and evidence
  • Management of change: risk implications of operational changes
Module 3

Risk Transfer & Insurance

  • Risk financing: self-insurance, captives, and commercial insurance
  • Insurance programme design: property, liability, and business interruption
  • Contract risk allocation: liability caps, indemnities, and back-to-back
  • Political risk and export credit insurance in international operations
Practical Workshop

Controls assurance exercise: teams assess the design and operating effectiveness of a provided set of controls for a critical risk, identifying gaps and recommending improvements.

Day 4
