Risk can be hard to spot. And, if you are hit by a consequence that you had not planned for, costs, time, and reputations could be on the line. Every project involves risks, and every project needs to have a management strategy for dealing with the threats and opportunities represented by each risk. This course explains the key issues and concepts involved in effective risk management. The course defines and examines types of risk, with a focus on understanding the process of risk identification, assessment, prevention, insurance, mitigation, and recovery.
