The banks, their products, the regulations and the global market are becoming increasingly complex, driving ever greater challenges in effective risk management.

Overview: This course recognises that the concept of the corporation is under continual scrutiny. Before we try to ascertain how to manage the corporation, we need to explore what it is we are managing. There is international pressure for corporations to explicitly define what is the nature of their organisation such as the UK’s Corporate Governance Code & in the US, the Business Roundtable’s new statement which forces board members and senior leadership to re-consider corporate structure, policy and culture. The popularisation of penalising corporations is explored, and various strategies are considered. The course considers the rise in corporate vulnerability to criminal as well as civil liability and looks to cultural management strategy as a potential mitigation. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand contemporary issues in corporate governance.
• Explore strategies to mitigate the impact of penal populism against the corporate body.
• Identify short comings within their own corporate governance approach.

Format of the Course:

• Highly qualified lecturers and lots of facilitated discussion.
• Scenario based presentations, briefings and feedback sessions.
• Break out scenario workshops and group presentation.

Audience:

• All Management Roles, especially:
• New Safety Managers or Risk Post Holders
• Prospective Managers looking to elevate their risk & safety management skills.
• Line operators involved in safety management workshops

Overview: The course introduces the foundations of successful safety management beginning with why safety management became a discrete and specialised discipline. The course looks at some of the established terminology used in contemporary and dispels some of the established myths of safety management. Accident causation is reviewed utilising multiple case studies from a broad selection of industries including aviation, petrochemical production, nuclear, shipping, finance, health care, construction and rail. The course introduces the candidates to the concept of socio-technical systems and the implications for safety management systems within complexity. The advent of new technologies such as AI, big data, genetics, IoT and autonomous systems has particular implications for how we manage risks. This course aims to address emerging and future risks to high residual-risk operating environments. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the foundations of safety management systems.
• Identify strategies to mitigate the impact of new and developing technologies.
• Develop the basic structure of their own safety management system.

Format of the Course:

• Facilitated and group discussion.
• Scenario based presentations, briefings and accident analysis.
• Break out scenario workshops and group presentation.

Audience:

• All Management Roles, especially:
• New Safety Managers or Risk Post Holders
• Prospective Managers looking to elevate their risk & safety management skills.
• Line operators involved in safety management workshops that will use the Bowtie method.

Overview: The course introduces the essentials of the much-adopted Bowtie method of barrier-based risk management. If your organisation is not managing its risks, then those risks are managing the organisation. The foundational step to true risk management is risk understanding. The Bowtie method requires minimal knowledge of safety theory, being visually based and sequencing left-to-right across the page. Bowtie is an excellent method to gain best engagement and hence risk knowledge from front-line practitioners and operators. This course will also show where Bowtie risk knowledge can be used within the Risk Management aspects of an SMS. This encourages front-line practitioners and operators as they can easily see how their often-overlooked operating knowledge can be used to improve their companies’ products and services. By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the foundations of safety management systems.
• Identify strategies to mitigate the impact of new and developing technologies.
• Develop the basic structure of their own safety management system.

Format of the Course:

• Facilitated and group discussion.
• Scenario based presentations, briefings and accident analysis.
• Break out scenario workshops and group presentation.
