How to Implement and Manage an ERM Programme

The CMERMS is designed to take your expertise beyond the basic understanding of enterprise risk and how it should be implemented and managed in the real world.

This training builds on the basic theory of ERM (from, for example, our Enterprise Risk Management training course) and explores the subject to a much greater degree of depth as regards to current ERM methodologies and the setting of risk management boundaries. 

The CMERMS training is exceptionally rich in detailed exercises with a high degree of realism applicable to current business and risk management practices.

These exercises are at a practical level with a level of depth intended to test your existing and expanded risk management knowledge and expertise.

On a practical level the course takes a detailed look, through Case Studies, at the ERM programs at five diverse business enterprises and explores how each of them achieved (or is still achieving) its own ERM objectives.

Curriculum Highlights

  • ERM Review Session
  • What ERM is NOT
  • Other ERM Frameworks
  • COSO Review Session
  • Exploring Risk Appetite and Risk Tolerance
  • ERM in Practice – 5 Case Studies
    • Case Study 1: A very large industrial equipment dealer with a recent enterprise resource planning (ERP) implementation that went “bad” prompted a rethinking of risk management in the company.
    • Case Study 2:  A major healthcare provider where the ERM program began small and grew over time. If it’s too detailed and drills down too deeply, you can lose that connection and it doesn’t really translate into executive management decision-making.
    • Case Study 3: A mid-size gold-mining company which already had a strong ERM program long before it made revisions to its policies and procedures in 2012. Having the process formalized helps with the communication with the directors and the investment community. The risks the company identifies through its process are integrated into the highest level of management decisions as well as day-to-day operations at the site level.
    • Case Study 4: A major automotive company where ERM is firmly anchored into the strategic planning process. Since 2007, the company’s ERM initiative is “owned” by the VP of Strategy. That the vice-president of strategy “owns” ERM is unusual – we look at the rationale for this given today’s realities.
    • Case Study 5: The US subsidiary of a major Swiss insurance giant has a long ERM tradition that shows what best ERM practice ultimately may look like.
  • COSO & ISO – A Comparison
  • Three Lines of Defense

*OPTIONAL: CMERMS ™ Exam (via Online): Certification exam is optional. Only if you want to get certified do you need to take the exam. Duration: 90 minutes.

“Although this was my first experience studying online, it showed me that technology plays an important role in the transfer of knowledge.

Secondly, this online presentation by Ethan Hathaway goes the extra mile of presenting Case studies which helped greatly in understanding the basic application and benefits of implementing Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) across an entity.

These studies allowed me as a participant to gain a clear vision to identify the advantages of a of implementing a well structured Enterprise Risk Management(ERM) process and point out deficiencies in a poorly structured risk management process. Furthermore, the pace of the presentation was excellent.”W.J., Assistant Head, Management Information System
