You will learn how ISO 31000 aligns with the High-Level Structure used across ISO standards, and how to embed a simple, repeatable process into objectives, operations, internal audits, and management review.

Learning Outcomes

After this course, participants will be able to
• Explain how ISO 31000 integrates with ISO management systems to improve decisions and outcomes
• Map risks and opportunities to HLS clauses and existing processes, audits, and reviews
• Set simple, relevant risk criteria and run a proportionate, iterative risk process
• Prioritize and treat risks, record decisions, and prepare concise inputs for management review
• Draft a 90-day plan to embed risk-based thinking across functions and sites

Why this course will positively impact your business

• From uncertainty to priorities, link risks to objectives, budgets, and KPIs so leaders decide what to start, stop, or accelerate
• Prevention built in, simple risk criteria and early warning indicators surface emerging issues before they become incidents or audit findings
• Structured decision pathway, a clear flow from identify, analyze, treat, and monitor so decisions are comparable across plants and teams
• Practical mitigation, proportionate actions with owners, timing, and expected impact reduce real exposure, not just paperwork
• Stronger audits and reviews, risk evidence feeds internal audits and management review, improving the quality of findings and follow through
• Faster escalation, defined thresholds and triggers clarify when to act, who decides, and what to communicate
• Portfolio view, a consolidated picture across sites, products, and suppliers directs investment where it protects the most value
• Customer and ISO alignment, risk-based thinking mapped to ISO clauses reduces surprises in customer assessments without turning the system into a checklist
• Integrated management system ready, one risk method that fits ISO’s High Level Structure.
