| Decision Making in Managing Risk – Expand Context, Strengthen Skills - Fall 2020 | |
| Risk is a ubiquitous part of life and work. Decision making in managing risk is rife with complexity, tension, and paradox, which arise from this arena's ethical considerations, values-dependent and subjective nature. Depending upon the context and the who or what, a risk may be acceptable or not for the workers, public, board room, or news media. Decision making is emphasized because of its central role in risk management and the success of risk outcomes through advances in cognitive and organizational science. This PDC will: a) challenge participants to expand their risk perspectives and skills to effectively navigate more complex and interconnected risk profiles; b) present key ERM (COSO, 2017) distinctions applied to IH/OHS practice; c) examine the oft overlooked dynamics between risk appetite, tolerance, and transfer; and e) use games (Jeopardy and Bingo), case studies, and group exercises to strengthen risk related decision making skills (individual, organizational). Emphasis is given to identifying and closing gaps between participant skill levels and organizational needs and expectations. This course is based on a chapter in "Patty's Industrial Hygiene, 7th Edition (2020)" written by the instructors.
