Managing risk for your business

“

- Risk management isn't something most companies think about until it's too late. Wouldn't you like to be the one who thinks about things before they go bad? Imagine if you could have saved Enron from imploding, Blockbuster from being wiped away, or if you could have prevented the financial crisis of 2008? Making risk management a priority could have prevented all of these things. It's too late to change the past. But as ancient Chinese proverb says, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. "The second best time is now." I'm Jason Schenker, and I've advised executives on risk for nearly 15 years. By the end of this course, you'll see risks that you might have missed before, and you'll have some idea as to what solutions could be applied. Plus, you'll know how to measure these risks and who needs to monitor these risks and your solutions. In short, you'll know how to spot risks, how to deal with risks, how to measure them, and who to work with to make sure they don't knock your company down. With that in mind, let's get started.
