Risk Management Training


The purpose of risk management training is to raise basic awareness of risk management
concepts and mechanisms, to enable participants to identify and manage risks in their
own units and to strengthen project management through adequate forward planning
of potential risks.
The half-day training module on risk management introduces the defi nition of
risk and the purpose of risk management and discusses steps towards the effective
management of risks. The course goes beyond the provision of generic tools and
extends to re-visiting elements of organizational culture, decision making and
situational awareness. Practice case studies and exercises are proposed at the end of
the training session, and participants are requested to undertake a mock risk analysis
using the methodology described in the module.
By the end of the training session, participants should be able to:
• Understand UNESCO’s approach to risk management;
• Understand how risk management affects decision-making;
• Conduct a risk analysis by drawing up a risk profi le and using a risk matrix;
• Identify risks/uncertainties to achieving a set of objectives and expected results;
• Prioritize these uncertainties; and
• Decide how to act on the uncertainties within the framework of project planning.
This handbook summarizing risk management methodology and the various concepts
discussed during the training session accompanies the training module and is
designed as a guidebook for future reference. It therefore follows the structure of the
training module and covers a fairly extensive review of risk management concepts
using examples to help develop a general understanding of the subject. It will help
participants set up a risk profi le and a risk management plan for their own units or
divisions.
