WHO SHOULD 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 'finding' approach to a proactive 'prevention' strategy. 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 recommendations provide a permanent solution, thereby safeguarding the company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

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

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes in financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that increase over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls instead of focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

Course Objectives:

• This is a one-day programme. Upon completion, participants will be able to:
  • Define risk, its origins, and its impact on business operations, demonstrating enhanced awareness of the subject.
  • Identify various scenarios that assist the organisation in minimising, and ideally eliminating, risk.
  • Proactively forecast potential risks and challenges.
  • Learn a variety of techniques to identify, mitigate, and limit risk.
  • Work with internal stakeholders to strengthen the organisation's overall risk management framework.

Without proactive management, projects often face "hidden blockers," sudden shifts in support, or communication breakdowns.

• Choose suitable communication strategies,
• Manage conflicts of interest,
• Establish long-term relationships.
