One-day workshops running in various locations throughout 2008/2009 - locations and dates with booking links will be posted at the bottom of this page.

Is Risk Management just for pessimists or could it potentially save you time and money?

Does refusing to think about risk make it go away?

How do you calculate what you need to spend on managing risk?

This one-day workshop introduces you to the risk management framework developed by JISC infoNet tailored to the needs of the education sector which, whilst primarily aimed at projects, can be adapted for any institutional need.

Target Audience and Outcomes

The workshop will be an interactive day aiming to introduce delegates to a structured approach to Risk Management and a set of tools for use in day-to-day management. The day is aimed at senior managers and any other staff who need to manage risk in Higher Education Institutions or Further Education Colleges.
