Topic:  Risk Management Principles and Practical Applications

Considering today’s ever-changing and often-unstable business environment, risk management has been referred to as today’s business imperative.  Managers, customers, and supply chain partners want confidence in a business’s sustained viability.  A comprehensive risk management program identifies, analyzes, and mitigates events and situations that could disrupt business processes.

Our program is intended for anyone interested in understanding the terminology and basic principles of enterprise risk management (ERM).  The presentation will be of value to managers and employees of organizations of all sizes and organizational structures (for-profit, not-for-profit, government agency).  During his presentation, the speaker will draw on work experience to discuss risk management principles and their application to:

•   Quality Assurance

•   Project Management
