The programme
Programme overview
Expanded indicative outline. The subject areas are described below; proposed activities and final delivery requirements are confirmed with Ratomac before booking.
Considering risks across an organisation rather than within individual activities alone.
The programme brings together organisation-wide risk, governance, integrated assessment and risk reporting. The expanded outline below shows how these areas can be explored through explanation, discussion and the preparation of relevant work products.
A proposed workshop runs through the programme: Departments maintain separate risk registers that overlook shared organisational exposures. Participants would examine the situation in stages, use the information provided and explain the basis of their decisions. The workshop is fictional and can be adapted when the final training plan is agreed.

5 learning blocks
Detailed programme outline
01Organisation-wide risk
This part of the programme examines organisation-wide risk, with attention to objectives and connected exposures. The practical task connects the subject to the programme’s workplace scenario and gives participants a specific output to discuss.
Topics to explore
- Objectives.
- Connected exposures.
- Applied work: map risks against organisation-wide objectives.
Illustrative practical exercise
Map risks against organisation-wide objectives. Explain the information used, identify any assumptions and take part in a review of the proposed approach.
02Governance
This part of the programme examines governance, with attention to roles, risk ownership and oversight. The practical task connects the subject to the programme’s workplace scenario and gives participants a specific output to discuss.
Topics to explore
- Roles.
- Risk ownership.
- Oversight.
- Applied work: assign risk ownership and oversight responsibilities.
Illustrative practical exercise
Assign risk ownership and oversight responsibilities. Explain the information used, identify any assumptions and take part in a review of the proposed approach.
03Integrated assessment
This part of the programme examines integrated assessment, with attention to registers, priorities and response plans. The practical task connects the subject to the programme’s workplace scenario and gives participants a specific output to discuss.
Topics to explore
- Registers.
- Priorities.
- Response plans.
- Applied work: combine department-level information into an integrated assessment.
Illustrative practical exercise
Combine department-level information into an integrated assessment. Explain the information used, identify any assumptions and take part in a review of the proposed approach.
04Risk reporting
This part of the programme examines risk reporting, with attention to monitoring changes and control effectiveness. The practical task connects the subject to the programme’s workplace scenario and gives participants a specific output to discuss.
Topics to explore
- Monitoring changes.
- Control effectiveness.
- Applied work: prepare an executive risk report highlighting changed exposure and required decisions.
Illustrative practical exercise
Prepare an executive risk report highlighting changed exposure and required decisions. Explain the information used, identify any assumptions and take part in a review of the proposed approach.
05Integrated workplace workshop
Departments maintain separate risk registers that overlook shared organisational exposures. The final workshop connects the earlier work rather than treating each topic as an isolated activity.
Topics to explore
- Bring together the outputs from the earlier modules into one coherent response to the scenario.
- Check that the recommendation addresses the original problem and is supported by the information available.
- Identify responsibilities, dependencies and matters that require specialist input or further evidence.
- Present the proposed response and revise it after questions from the facilitator and other participants.
Illustrative practical exercise
Prepare a concise presentation for the fictional organisation. Include the proposed response, the evidence supporting it and the decisions still required. Finish with a reflection on which aspects could be relevant to your own work.
From discussion to application
How the programme could be delivered
The proposed learning approach combines facilitator-led explanation, discussion of the subject areas and guided work on the fictional scenario. Each module produces a practical output that can be reviewed and improved.
Participants can work individually or in small groups to compare interpretations, explain their decisions and identify missing information. Feedback focuses on the connection between the task, the evidence used and the proposed response.
The final workshop brings the module outputs together. Ratomac will confirm the delivery format, learning resources, entry requirements and any formal assessment or certification arrangements for the selected programme.
