Overview

Globally, regulators are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must hold. Consequently, banks and financial services firms are adopting risk-based management practices more extensively. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow in complexity, effective risk management becomes increasingly challenging. A critical lesson from the banking crises of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; therefore, banks must comprehend these interactions to manage them efficiently.

Key features include:

• An explanation of current risk-based regulations.
• A detailed review of the primary risks banks face.
• Industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the entire organization.
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture that ensures everyone actively participates in managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives.
• An exploration of the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future.

The course extensively utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at various banks will be analyzed throughout the course to highlight instances where risk management failed and to identify actions that could have prevented losses.

Objectives

The objective of this course is to assist bank management in delivering an appropriate integrated strategy for managing the complex and evolving risks and regulations within today’s international banking environment.

WHO SHOUD ATTEND?

The NobleProg course “Result-Based Management” is designed to benefit experienced managers from any specialism within your organisation who have responsibility for successful execution of programmes and projects. It will develop high level managerial skills that are vital in achieving and sustaining continuous performance improvement.

This training course will particularly benefit the following professionals:

• Strategic and Operational Planning Specialists
• Supply Chain and Logistics Team Members
• Financial Managers
• Marketing and Business Development Staff
• Human Resource Managers

The primary objective of this program is to shift the audit process from a reactive approach focused on "finding" faults to a proactive strategy centered on "prevention." By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will specifically target the elimination of recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the resulting recommendations provide a permanent solution, thereby protecting the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes within financial processes result in cumulative losses that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls rather than focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Continuously reporting the same issues undermines the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training session in Slovakia (online or on-site) targets intermediate-level internal auditors seeking to improve their audit efficacy through the use of structured RCA techniques.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Grasp RCA methodologies and their role in internal auditing.
• Identify and analyze the root causes of audit findings.
• Apply RCA tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Develop corrective and preventive action plans based on RCA findings.
• Integrate RCA into the internal audit process to improve risk management.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers who wish to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.

Course Objectives:

• This is a one-day course. Upon completion, participants will be able to:
  • Define risk, its origins, and its business impact, thereby increasing their awareness of the subject.
  • Identify specific instances that help organizations limit and, ideally, eliminate risk.
  • Proactively forecast potential risks and challenges.
  • Learn various techniques to identify, mitigate, and control risk.
  • Collaborate with internal departments to strengthen the organization's overall risk management framework.

Overview:

This course explores the distinct components of a contemporary risk management process by focusing on the development of a Safety Management System (SMS). It illustrates how these elements can effectively manage risk within modern socio-technical environments. Establishing an efficient SMS has become a widely adopted methodology for handling risk in complex, safety-critical systems. Participants will gain the capability to construct and adapt safety and risk frameworks within their specific areas of expertise. While the concept of SMS is not novel, it is increasingly mandated by regulations and accreditation schemes in high-performance industries. The course utilizes SMS frameworks from industries with high residual risk as benchmark standards. These principles are examined by consultant practitioners through a blend of theoretical knowledge and extensive practical experience. Additionally, the boundaries and interactions with other management systems, such as Quality and Environmental, will be explored.

Upon completion 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 by applying SMS principles.
• Develop the structure of their own Safety & Risk Management System against a benchmark.

Format of the Course:

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

Target Audience:

• All Management Roles.
• Accountable Managers, Safety or Risk Post Holders.
• Experienced Managers looking to elevate their risk & safety management skills.

Overview:

This course examines the key drivers of safety, risk, and potential corporate liability. These three domains require focused attention, as they are all undergoing significant transformation as we progress into the twenty-first century. The course employs a 'systems thinking' approach as a methodology for managing complex systems. The recent global pandemic has accelerated change in numerous areas of corporate strategy, and this programme aims to distil some of the primary themes within contemporary management thinking. We explore how to effectively mitigate emergent threats arising from the onset of digitalisation in our society. The course features a number of high-profile case studies from various industries, which are analysed and discussed collectively, with candidates presenting them from multiple perspectives. Cultural assessment techniques will be explored and applied to real-world data. Participants will undergo mock cross-examination by the instructors to gain insight into what legal systems evaluate when assessing corporate liability after risk mitigation has failed. The course equips participants with the confidence to engage directly in risk-based decisions within a complex operating environment.
