Welcome to the Enterprise Risk Management course, RMIA's signature course and a certification pre-requisite presented by our Training Partner, Bryan Whitefield Consulting.
About
All organisations, no matter whether private, government or not-for-profit have one thing in common – they all take risk to achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, too many organisations either don’t have any formal approach to considering the risks they are taking, or they utilise forms of risk management that are below par. That is, they are not in line with the principles and guidelines of better practice as defined in AS ISO 31000.
The purpose of the course is to provide you with the requisite knowledge to design, implement and operate enterprise risk programs for the successful management of organisational risk.
Course Overview

The course is aligned to the international standard on risk.
The standard is a guideline for any organisation that can be adapted to suit the needs of the organisation.
It provides principles, framework and process for managing organisational risk.

The management of risk is a dynamic and evolving practice. To support this evolution, RMIA has partnered with Associate Professors Ben Brooks and Steve Curnin, to deliver this unique course, ‘Strategic Foresight for Risk Professionals’. This course will provide participants with the insight required to determine if future risk-driven scenario planning is something their organisation should pursue. We call this type of scenario-planning ‘future risk-driven’ because it uses structured processes to explore consequences and the associated opportunities of situations in future time horizons.
Steve and Ben have packed this course with insights from over decade of research and even more practical experience in risk-driven scenario planning. They are master facilitators and experienced educators with years of experience in virtual course delivery. They will provide you with insights about the value and science behind risk-driven scenario planning. Steve and Ben personally produced most of the research that this course uses, so they speak intimately to this, and can provide all the insight you need to successfully identify the benefits for your organisation.
During the course you will develop a plausible future risk-driven scenario with your fellow course participants. The course is fully online over 3-hours and is size-limited to maximize interactions with the teaching team.
So, what is involved in our Strategic Foresight for Risk Professionals course?
Understanding the fundamentals and application of scenario planning.
Learn how scenario planning can be integrated into risk management.
Diagnose the maturity of scenario planning in your organisation.
Identify treatment options to enhance the maturity level.
Apply the Stretch Think Loops technique – a unique scenario planning technique.
You’ll leave with an understanding of why and how to risk-based scenario can be used in your organisation.

Welcome to the Enterprise Risk Management course, RMIA's signature course and a certification pre-requisite presented by our Training Partner, Bryan Whitefield Consulting.
About
All organisations, no matter whether private, government or not-for-profit have one thing in common – they all take risk to achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, too many organisations either don’t have any formal approach to considering the risks they are taking, or they utilise forms of risk management that are below par. That is, they are not in line with the principles and guidelines of better practice as defined in AS ISO 31000.
The purpose of the course is to provide you with the requisite knowledge to design, implement and operate enterprise risk programs for the successful management of organisational risk.
Course Overview
Introducing AS ISO 31000:2018
The course is aligned to the international standard on risk.
The standard is a guideline for any organisation that can be adapted to suit the needs of the organisation.
It provides principles, framework and process for managing organisational risk.
Learning Objectives
Understand the principles that underlie an efficient and effective approach to the management of organisational risk and the value it brings to the organisation.
Understand the core elements and benefits of a framework for integrating risk management into the governance and operations of an organisation.
Understanding of the risk management process and how to apply it to organisations of differing size and complexity.

Date: 18 March 2025
Venue: Online (Demio)

About the Webinar
CPS 230 is more than a regulatory requirement—it’s a framework for strengthening operational resilience and integrating risk management into the core of your business. Organisations must embed best-practice processes for risk management, third-party risk management, and business continuity planning into their daily operations, leadership strategies, and company culture to truly mitigate risks and navigate disruptions effectively.
In this webinar, hosted in partnership with the RMIA, we’ll explore how businesses can go beyond a tick-box approach to CPS 230 and create a risk-aware culture that supports long-term success, mitigates risk, and ensures resilience. Our experts will discuss:
✔️ How to implement best-practice processes for operational risk management, third-party risk management, and business continuity that align with CPS 230 requirements.
✔️Practical steps to integrate CPS 230 requirements into existing business processes.
✔️ The critical roles of leadership and employees in fostering a culture of risk awareness and resilience,
✔️ Transforming CPS 230 from a regulatory requirement into a strategic advantage by embedding risk management into culture, processes, and technology.
✔️ Continuous improvement frameworks to ensure long-term sustainability and ongoing compliance with CPS 230 requirements.

About Event
CROs and their teams have invested heavily in building risk management capabilities and implementing frameworks such as 3LOD. Yet there remains a significant disconnect between the quality of risk capabilities and the quality of risk outcomes – well documented by the Hayne Royal Commission and underscored frequently by headlines in the financial and business press.
In an effort to address this disconnect, CROs and their teams are turning their attention to risk culture - how culture influences risk management and risk outcomes.
In these two interactive workshops for CROs and Senior Risk Leaders, Adaptive Cultures facilitates an exploration of the challenges to deepening risk ownership and embedding quality risk practices, and participants will develop strategies they can implement in their organisations to improve risk culture. Topics include:
the core qualities and capabilities that support influence on risk topics,
approaches to broaden and deepen risk ownership,
what’s working well and less well in the 3LOD framework and FAR implementation,
ways to complement structural risk tools with adaptive methods that can create a truly embedded risk framework, and
how to engage executive peers more fully in this work.

Welcome to the Enterprise Risk Management course, RMIA's signature course and a certification pre-requisite presented by our Training Partner, Bryan Whitefield Consulting.
About
All organisations, no matter whether private, government or not-for-profit have one thing in common – they all take risk to achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, too many organisations either don’t have any formal approach to considering the risks they are taking, or they utilise forms of risk management that are below par. That is, they are not in line with the principles and guidelines of better practice as defined in AS ISO 31000.
The purpose of the course is to provide you with the requisite knowledge to design, implement and operate enterprise risk programs for the successful management of organisational risk.
Course Overview
Introducing AS ISO 31000:2018
The course is aligned to the international standard on risk.
The standard is a guideline for any organisation that can be adapted to suit the needs of the organisation.
It provides principles, framework and process for managing organisational risk.
Learning Objectives
Understand the principles that underlie an efficient and effective approach to the management of organisational risk and the value it brings to the organisation.
Understand the core elements and benefits of a framework for integrating risk management into the governance and operations of an organisation.
Understanding of the risk management process and how to apply it to organisations of differing size and complexity.
Format of the Course
Please note that this course is now being delivered online. Attendees will receive a zoom invitation to participate in the 'face-to-face' aspect of the course online after registering. We can assure you that despite being online, we provide a high quality experience presented by Bryan Whitefield, a leader in the risk industry and a certified virtual presenter.

For many organisations, project management fails to effectively align to their risk management framework. The statistics speak for themselves with >15% of large-scale IT projects failing, and approximately 50% of others facing significant challenges that compromise objectives, clearly highlighting the substantial risks associated with inadequate project risk management practices.
These two half day workshops will:
Guide you through the fundamental concepts of project risk management, how it supports all stages of the project from concept through to delivery and Business as Usual
Help develop your understanding of the importance of alignment of project methodology with risk management strategies
Demonstrate how aligning project management and risk practices through actionable strategies that mitigate risks can enhance project outcomes
These workshops have broad application to multiple types of projects and is designed to bring a foundational understanding of project risk to non-risk professionals, and project management to risk professionals. The course will appeal to those involved in project development and delivery, as a project manager, a risk professional, or for those with the need to have a greater understanding of how to align both to increase the likelihood of project success - on time, on budget, in accordance with scope and design.

The WA State Chapter is delighted to invite you to an insightful morning event on the topic Understanding Geopolitical Risks for WA in 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore critical trends shaping our region and connect with like-minded professionals.
About Event
There can no longer be any doubt that we are living through a period of increasing geopolitical volatility. What the World Economic Forum describes as a ‘polycrisis’ is creating real risks for organisations if they are not facing into this changing reality. The disruptions are also generating opportunities for those organisations which are on the front foot.
Western Australia is right in the thick of these rapidly evolving geopolitical risks and opportunities. Countries are realising that maintaining access to the metals and minerals needed for advanced tech and the energy transition – many of which are produced in WA – is a matter of national security. But that doesn’t mean that these commodities provide certain profitability for resources companies. In fact, as they scramble to shore up supply, some governments have spurred over-investment that has contributed to low global prices.
These dynamic geopolitical forces are complex, but with the right systems and processes in place, leaders can better understand and navigate geopolitics and optimise opportunities. Building in knowledge of the broader geopolitical trends will help companies to assess and manage over-the-horizon risks.
Leading companies are facing these challenges head on, not just hoping the world will go back to ‘normal’ soon – because it won’t. Jon Berry (Associate Director of KPMG’s Australia Geopolitics Hub) will be joining us to unpack these issues, and to discuss how they could impact Western Australia in the years ahead.
About the Speaker
Jon Berry
Associate Director, Australia Geopolitics Hub
Jon Berry is Associate Director of the Australia Geopolitics Hub at KPMG. He provides analysis and advice for businesses seeking to understand how geopolitical risks and opportunities impact their operations and ambitions.
Jon is an experienced international trade, investment and geopolitical analyst. He has had a varied 20-year career including roles in Australia, China, Japan, France, Italy, Africa, Switzerland and India. Jon worked for ten years as a Melbourne-based consultant, advising most of Australia’s largest export industries, and representing their interests in Canberra and at international cooperation fora.
From 2008 to 2010, Jon worked within the UN system, as an emergency logistics officer for the World Food Programme. This role involved frequent missions to Africa and the Middle East where he saw firsthand both the challenges and opportunities represented by international trade, and the geopolitical forces that shape and influence the decisions of governments. This experience helps Jon understand and anticipate the varied ways that governments respond to major global events and trends.
Jon has an MBA focusing on international and intergovernmental relations from the University of Geneva, as well as a Master of Public Policy from Melbourne University with a focus on trade policy and international relations. Jon has published or contributed to numerous research papers for organisations including the Australian APEC Study Centre, the APEC Policy Support Unit, Canada’s Fraser Institute and Asialink. He is regularly interviewed by national and international media on issues of trade policy.
Registration will close on Monday, 10 February 2025.
