Course Description
When you create or operate a business, certain risks come along with the territory. Managing risk begins with analyzing your business to identify all the possible risks and determine the probabilities of each risk occurring. Planning for possible risks can make the difference between success and failure. Risk mitigation is a strategy to prepare for and lessen the effects of threats faced by a business. Transferring risks to another company such as an insurance company or hiring a third party for transportation are just a couple of ways businesses can mitigate risks. In this Risk Mitigation course, we will explore methods to reduce and mitigate risk. You’ll learn about creating a contingency plan and its importance in the event of emergencies, protection and recovery of assets. You’ll also learn how to define the lines of authority in your risk-mitigation plan. We’ll also discuss risk interactions and look at risk avoidance and controlling risks.
