Introduction

Effective enterprise risk management depends on capable risk champions who can translate frameworks into consistent practice across the organisation. Without clear ownership, common risk language, and structured implementation, risk management initiatives often fail to deliver meaningful value. This Risk Champion Masterclass training course focuses on building internal capability to lead and support the implementation of an ISO 31000–aligned risk management process across the enterprise.

The course clarifies the distinction between business risk ownership and assurance roles, while providing a structured understanding of risk identification, assessment, treatment, and escalation. It equips participants with practical tools to embed integrated risk management into daily operations, decision-making, and governance structures, enabling stronger resilience and sustainable performance.
