You probably already have a something in the back of your mind that's telling you that you haven't really dealt with the risks to your organisation that you know exist.

You are probably already aware that those risks range from obvious ones that you can "handle" if they occur, to potentially critical ones that you don't even dare to think about.

Introducing The Risk Management Planning Program for Indigenous Organisations

The Risk Management Planning Program for Indigenous Organisations is an online training and guided workshop program designed by OTS Management to help Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporations prepare their own Risk Management Plans.

We have taken our experience over the last 35 years of face-to-face workshops and consultancies to design an online program you can follow in your own time.

The Risk Management Planning Program is delivered online and organised into step-by-step guided modules, walking the organisation's management through the proven process to:

• identify risks,
• assess those risks,
• design appropriately prioritised strategies to manage and mitigate or reduce those risks,
• and then implement testing and monitoring and evaluation procedures.

Each lesson in the modules is delivered by way of a video "seminar" with instructions on how to workshop and complete the worksheets that accompany each lesson. These worksheets are later compiled into your Risk Management Plan.

Once your organisation purchases the Program, it remains available to you forever, and you get the benefit of any upgrades and new developments. You will be able to use it over and over again to prepare your updated Risk Management Plans, year after year, thereby building internal capacity.

It is also covered by a 30-day guarantee as detailed further below.

What Do You Get?

Here's what you get when you buy this Program:-

Welcome

The Program starts with an Introduction video which tells you how the Program works and what you should do to follow the Program through the following lessons and workshop activities. This Welcoming Module also includes an Introduction for Workshop Facilitators to help you prepare for, and facilitate the workshop meetings.

Module 1:

Module 1 is about Understanding Risk Management Planning. In two short but effective lessons, you will learn about the basics of Risk Management Plans and the Risk Management Planning process. You will be shown how a Risk Matrix is completed and what it tells you about the risks your organisation faces.

Module 2:

The four lessons in Module 2 begins our "Learn-Watch-Do" methodology where you learn about the steps in Risk Management Planning and then conduct an activity to complete the steps in your own planning process. In Module 2, you will be guided to identify the risks that potentially threaten your organisation, and then assess those risks as to their likelihood and their impacts. You will then populate your own Risk Matrix.

Module 3:

In Module 3, there are four lessons where you will be designing your Risk Management Strategies in the context of the priorities of risk identified in the Risk Matrix. You will choose from "Immediate Action" Strategies, "Rigorously Manage & Monitor" Strategies, "Manage & Monitor" Strategies and "Accept but Monitor" Strategies. During these lessons you will be shown how to avoid, reduce, transfer or ultimately accept risk.

Module 4:

In Module 4, we conclude with 4 lessons that will have you documenting your Plan, rehearsing and scenario-testing your Plan, and then scheduling Monitoring and Evaluation feedback meetings to actively manage your Plan. At the end of this Module, using the fill-in-the-blanks template provided, you will have prepared and tested your Risk Management Plan, ready for implementation.
