Institute for Risk Management

Institute for Risk Management Program Overview

Managing Risk for organizational growth and sustainability. You can't afford not to.

Enterprise risk management and innovation go hand in hand. Launching innovations and pursuing opportunities require risk taking while sustainability requires that risks be managed. Executives, leaders and managers—from organizations large and small, non-profit and for-profit— need to know which risks are worth taking. For a venture capital firm, the risks of new investments drive growth; for a technology firm, taking risks supports new products. Unconsidered risks can incapacitate any organization. 

Scan the headlines: attacks on a firm’s website, hacked credit card files, a major supplier unexpectedly closing shop, tampered products, regulatory noncompliance and hurricanes are commonplace. How organizations plan for and respond to anticipated and unforeseen risks drives their growth and sustainability.

Enterprise risk management enables firms to anticipate, assess, manage and respond to their risks, and it empowers them to stay on-focus with their core missions. The Institute for Managing Risk (IMR) provides individuals and the organizations they work for with the critical tools for identifying, confronting, monitoring and then reassessing risk. IMR unites practitioners, college faculty and international standards to provide the most up-to-date strategies for enterprise risk management.
