This course equips learners with an overview of the ISO 31000 Risk Management – Guidelines Standard content.

Overview

Introduction to ISO 31000 Risk Management - Guidelines course overview

A risk management framework that only exists in a binder on the boardroom shelf won’t protect your people or your operations. When risk management is disconnected from everyday decision-making, it becomes difficult to manage risk in a consistent and effective way. This one-day Introduction to ISO 31000 Risk Management course provides a structured overview of the principles, framework, and processes outlined in the ISO 31000:2018 guidelines.

We don’t rely on dense theory or technical jargon. Instead, our industry-experienced trainers guide learners through the ISO 31000 framework in a clear and practical way. Participants develop an understanding of how risk management supports organisational governance and decision-making, and how the principles, framework, and processes work together to create a consistent approach to managing risk.

IMPAC’s focus is on building clear understanding that supports effective risk management practices, rather than just introducing the standard. Participants leave with a solid foundation in ISO 31000 and the confidence to support more informed and consistent risk management within their organisation.

Our approach

+IMPAC's Introduction to ISO 31000 Risk Management - Guidelines training approach

IMPAC delivers Introduction to ISO 31000 Risk Management Guidelines as a practical introduction to the standard, so learners can see how the principles, framework, and process work together in day-to-day decisions. Trainers use guided discussion, worked examples, and realistic workplace scenarios to unpack how context is established, how risk is assessed and treated, and how monitoring and reporting support better governance. The focus is on helping participants understand what good risk management looks like in practice, so they can apply a more consistent approach in their own role rather than leaving risk management as a document that sits on the shelf.
