Vindel Kerr's GovStrat Limited continues its innovative journey in bringing world-class corporate training to Jamaica.
GovStrat Limited in association with Black Diamond Risk Enterprise Inc (California, USA) will be hosting yet another workshop to focus on risk management across the entire organisation. In addition, GovStrat has established a partnership with Black Diamond Inc to provide Caribbean businesses with risk management advisory services.
Dr Robert M Mark, CEO of Black Diamond Inc, USA, is one of the world's leading Risk Management professionals. Mark will be the lead facilitator on this occasion.
Mark is the CEO of Black Diamond Risk Enterprise Inc, and a former Chief Risk Officer of CIBC, Canada, where he had global responsibility for risk management at all subsidiaries and across all risks functions. He is author of two recent books Risk Management (McGraw-Hill, 2000) and Essential of Risk Management (McGraw-Hill, 2005). In 1999, he was awarded Financial Risk Manager of the Year by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP). He holds a PhD from New York University and completed advanced training in management at Harvard University.
What is ERM?
Unlike most traditional risk strategies employed by Caribbean corporations, ERM is a process, effected by an entity's board of directors, management and other personnel, applied in a strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, and manages risks within its risks appetite. It addresses operational risks, credit risks, market risks, risks capital, risk transfer, recruiting risks, IPOs risks, merger and acquisition risks and risks associated with insurance, banking, manufacturing, etc to maximise a firm's value. An increasing number of companies across the world are adopting ERM and have appointed a Chief Risk Officer, reporting to the CEO, and in many cases with a dotted line to the board of directors.
What Would Participants Gain:
Participants would obtain practical insights on how to identify, rank and manage risks and opportunities in various industries and across any entity, in fulfilling the shared objective of maximising the firm's value. It will be highly interactive, participatory and broad-based to ensure thorough understanding of conventional risk management approaches.
Who Would Benefit:
Senior risk executives and their team, CEOs, Chairmen, Directors, CFOs, COOs, Auditors, Accountants, Financial and Business Analysts, Compliance Executives, Investment and Corporate Planners, Company Secretaries/Legal Counsels, Corporate Reputation Managers, and those interested in money laundering and corporate governance risks associated with board directorships and subcommittees' issues.
Date: February 10-11, 2006 at The Jamaica Pegasus Hotel. Special "Early bird" and group rates available.
