Michael is a professionally qualified risk manager. He has many years’ experience supporting organisations develop and improve risk management and risk assessment systems. His experience ranges across the public, private and charity sectors working in both operational and leadership roles. This experience, along with his commitment to risk management, ensures that this training course is consistently rated as excellent by attendees.

We recently supported a public sector  body, based across multiple sites, develop risk management skills across the organisation. They needed a consistent set of skills to assure the senior management team that risks were being identified and managed by every team and across all functions so that they could have confidence potential problems were being identified and tackled before they became real issues. This helped reduce the time and effort spent reacting to challenges, and made resource allocation more effective and efficient. By having a common set of skills, tools and resources, the organisation was able to gain confidence that it was getting a true and accurate picture of what was happening and was therefore able to compare and evaluate information and make decisions more resiliently.
