M_o_R® Management of Risk Foundation

M_o_R stands for “Management of Risk” and considers risk from different perspectives within an organization: strategic, programme, project and operational. The M_o_R Management of Risk Foundation course provides delegates with an introductive overview of the processes, principles and techniques used in the M_o_R® approach. All subjects are covered in sufficient detail to allow delegates to practice the application of the guidance not only during the course, but also into their own organization.
