About This Course

What is Risk-Based Thinking?

Both industry-wide and industry-specific standards have incorporated risk-based thinking into their requirements. Some standards call for assessing risk levels and taking action to deal with risks that are identified, others call for organizations to define risk management protocols. But, in all cases, the underlying premise of risk-based thinking is that organizations should always factor in risks as they develop plans, review business results and take corrective action. The intent is for the organization to identify the risk, decide what (if any) action is required and then act.

Risk-Based Thinking training teaches learners how to develop and conduct a risk management process in seven lessons. The initial lesson highlights industry standards that now incorporate risk-based thinking. The next five lessons lead learners through the five phases of risk-based thinking.  The final lesson in the course explores a sample risk management process complete with forms to track and document risks identified and mitigated (if they are unacceptable threats) or identified and capitalized upon (if they are worthwhile opportunities).
