In today’s ever-changing world, organizations are continuously faced with risks. These risks can have catastrophic impacts on an organization’s success, reputation, and future. Unmanaged risk is the greatest source of waste in your business and in our economy as a whole.

When these risk events happen, thousands of jobs get lost, brilliant organizations are disassembled, expertise gets lost, and assets are destroyed. Yet all of these risks can be understood, identified, anticipated, mitigated, or reversed, thereby averting hundreds of billions of dollars in unnecessary losses.

Enterprise risk management (ERM) is often times an overlooked or under-implemented function, leaving organizations vulnerable and unprepared. This course will provide you with the fundamental concepts necessary to understand this function.

Participants in the International Institute for Executive Training (iIET) Certified Enterprise Risk Management Professional (CERMP) program will acquire knowledge of the evolutionary and fluid process of developing, implementing, and evaluating ERM. You will also learn how to monitor risk at an enterprise-wide level, as well as the application techniques necessary for implementing the process within your organization.
