Overview

Regulators across the globe are increasingly linking the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, and financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulations, and the global marketplace grow more complex, the challenges of effective risk management intensify. A critical lesson from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must comprehend these interactions.

Key features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed review of the major risks banks face
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrate risk management throughout an organization
• using governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks in line with the bank's strategic objectives
• an exploration of the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future

The course makes extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight how they failed to manage their risks and what actions could have been taken to prevent losses.

INTRODUCTION

Globalisation, transformed markets, intense competition and new technologies have converged to make organisational management focus more sharply on making certain that every internal programme and project achieves all intended results. Stakeholders are demanding that the internal and external forces of change are managed with the type of programmes that will enable the organisation to thrive in the face of change. Holding departments accountable for results is the essence of this unique seminar that presents the principles and practices on which Results-Based Management (RBM) is founded.

This Results-Based Management training course enables staff and managers to align, develop and review ongoing planning and reporting that is essential to the success of any public or private programme. This training seminar provides an understanding of the processes needed to bring different business teams together to (a) better manage and measure the outcomes of their respective programmes and projects; (b) keep a project under control; and (c) achieve stated objectives and goals.

This training course will highlight:

• The multiple processes of Results Based Management (RBP)
• The critical role of monitoring in demonstrating the performance of programs and projects and in steering the implementation process towards the intended results
• Developing realistic programme objectives and measures to assess project outcomes and impact
• Developing a results-based project framework
• Project and program scheduling and reporting
• Monitoring, evaluating and strengthening the effectiveness of a program

OBJECTIVES

This training course is designed to achieve five key objectives. At the end of the session you will learn how to:

• Apply current best practices in Results-Based Management (RBM)
• Demonstrate how to realise the potential for Results-Based Management (RBM)
• Design a RBM approach for involving all stakeholders
• Control RBM projects and measure outcomes
• Enable your teams to apply Results-Based Management (RBM) in their own activities

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

This training seminar uses a number of learning tools including but not limited to:

• Round table discussion groups to review and qualify the actual projects - ongoing or at the planning stage - by members of the group
• Video references on examples of the skills necessary to achieve results
• Presentation media on the steps to achieve RBM
• Open discussions on ideas and experiences with the participants

ORGANISATIONAL IMPACT

WHO SHOUD ATTEND?

The NobleProg course “Result-Based Management” is designed to benefit experienced managers from any specialism within your organisation who have responsibility for successful execution of programmes and projects. It will develop high level managerial skills that are vital in achieving and sustaining continuous performance improvement.

This training course will particularly benefit the following professionals:

• Strategic and Operational Planning Specialists
• Supply Chain and Logistics Team Members
• Financial Managers
• Marketing and Business Development Staff
• Human Resource Managers

The primary objective of this programme is to shift the audit process from a reactive approach of merely 'finding' faults to a proactive strategy of 'prevention'. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, the Internal Audit team will specifically target the elimination of recurring findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the resulting recommendation offers a permanent solution, thereby protecting the company’s operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Failing to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment characterised by:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes within financial processes result in cumulative financial leakages that escalate over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls, rather than focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues undermines the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

This instructor-led, live training in Nigeria (online or onsite) is designed for intermediate-level internal auditors who wish to enhance their audit effectiveness by applying structured RCA techniques.

Upon completing this training, participants will be able to:

• Comprehend RCA methodologies and their role in internal auditing.
• Identify and analyse the root causes of audit findings.
• Apply RCA tools such as the 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• Develop corrective and preventive action plans grounded in RCA findings.
• Integrate RCA into the internal audit process to enhance risk management.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at intermediate-level safety professionals and operational managers who wish to enhance their ability to investigate incidents, identify systemic weaknesses, and design effective corrective and preventive actions.

Course Objectives:

• This is a one-day training programme designed to enable participants to achieve the following outcomes:
  • Define the concept of risk, including its origins and impact on business operations, thereby enhancing their awareness of the subject.
  • Identify practical examples that help the organization reduce, and ideally eliminate, potential risks.
  • Proactively forecast potential risks and challenges.
  • Learn various techniques for identifying, mitigating, and limiting risk.
  • Collaborate with internal departments to strengthen the organization’s overall risk management framework.

Audience:

• All Management Roles
• Accountable Managers, Safety or Risk Post Holders
• Prospective Managers looking to elevate their risk & safety management skills.

Overview:

This course introduces the distinct elements of a contemporary risk management process through the development of a Safety Management System (SMS). It demonstrates how these elements can be utilized to manage risk within modern socio-technical systems. Establishing an effective SMS is an increasingly popular methodology for managing risk in complex and safety-critical environments. The course equips participants with the ability to build and adapt safety and risk systems within their specific areas of expertise. While the concept of SMS is not new, it is increasingly being mandated by regulations for high-performance industries and accreditation schemes. The course uses high residual-risk industry SMS frameworks as benchmarks. The principles are explored by consultant practitioners using a combination of theory and extensive practical experience. The boundaries between other management systems, such as Quality and Environmental, will be discussed.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the foundations of safety management systems.
• Identify strategies to mitigate the impact of new and developing technologies by applying SMS principles.
• Develop the structure of their own Safety & Risk Management System against a benchmark.

Format of the Course:

• Facilitated and group discussion.
• Scenario based presentations, briefings and accident analysis.
• Break out scenario workshops and group presentation.
