Operational Risk Management
Getting a Grip on Business Plan Uncertainty

In a volatile economy--hindsight is always better than foresight.  But you may not get a second chance to look at risk in your business plan.  Have you ever wondered why a promising new business goes belly up after smashing first-year revenues?  Or, why a mega corporation's acquisition ultimately spirals the entire company into bankruptcy? Answer: They needed strategies for assessing the uncertainty and managing the risk.

What about your business plan?  Does your company need a risk management strategy for decision-making?  Or, is your next R & D launch destined for failure.

Every member of your management team can benefit from understanding what makes uncertainty assessment and risk management strategies relevant for your company. You don’t need to be a mathematician or an equation guru to learn the basics of risk management and to determine why it makes sense for your company or organization. This one-day overview of the problem of uncertainty will help you determine the next business plan strategy.
