Management of Risk (M_o_R®4)

What is the Management of Risk (M_o_R®) Qualification?

Management of Risk (M_o_R®) is designed to help organizations establish an effective framework for risk management, enabling them to make informed decisions about the risks that affect their strategic, portfolio, programme, project, product, and operational objectives. It provides practical guidance for managing risk, showing how risk links to opportunity and the realization of benefits. M_o_R® 4 is universally applicable and aligned to ISO standards.

Risk is defined, in M_o_R, as: an uncertain event or set of events, that should it occur, will have an effect on the achievement of objectives. All decisions within organizations, at strategic, portfolio, programme, project, product, and operational levels, are made in the context of risk. When faced with alternative options of how to progress to achieve objectives, decision-makers need to find ways of considering what is known and what is yet uncertain and how it would have an impact on objectives should the uncertainty become a reality.

M_o_R 4 is the latest edition of Management of Risk – a must-have certification for roles where managing risk is inherent, including portfolio, programme, project, business change and risk management professionals. It has a specific relevance for individuals working in product focussed environments / roles, offering a compelling integrated solution for the unique challenges faced by modern, digital-first organizations. It has been developed for candidates and practitioners who are interested in understanding how risk links to opportunity and the delivery of benefits, and in communicating or cascading this to stakeholders.

M_o_R 4 enables certified professionals to deliver value to their employers and organizations in addition to enhancing their own career development. It includes valuable fictional case studies which illustrate how the guidance works in practice and can be tailored and applied across different sectors and organizations, irrespective of their operating model.
