This GLOMACS Risk Based Operational Decision Making training seminar addresses the unavoidable contradiction of current management: Without Risk there is No Profit nor achieved objectives, but With Risk there May Be No Organization, nor Assets. By attending this training seminar, you will be able to prepare for, and manage, in circumstances where foreseen and/ or unforeseen risks may be serious or even catastrophic, but are a normal backdrop to operations, and have to be managed well within operational decision making.

During this GLOMACS training seminar on Risk Based Operational Decision Making you will learn about the operational decision making process, and the common shortfalls and inadequacies in the treatment of risk, as well as how to do it well. You will also have the chance to learn from case studies, that show good, and not so good, practice. This GLOMACS training seminar will enable you to gain insight and confidence, and improve decision making, that is often conducted poorly, but if applied coherently and rigorously in relation to the treatment of risk, can contribute extensively to performance and competitiveness of operations, and the whole organization.

This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight:

• What is Risk Based Operational Decision Making, how it differs from common management decision making and how to avoid bad practices
• The place of international standards and best practices
• The implementation framework for Risk Based Operational Decision Making, what works & doesn’t work and why
• Key roles and responsibilities

This GLOMACS Risk Based Operational Decision Making training seminar combines plenary presentation with facilitated discussion, interactive practical exercises, small-group activities and practical written and video case studies. A key element in this process is to learn from each other’s ideas, so all contributions are valued. We utilize real business case studies to show how the ideas we present have been applied in a “real world” environment, and build on each previous session by utilizing the learning points gained in a logical sequential approach.
