Mastering Operational Risk Training - Workshop Day 2 (PowerPoint PPTX Slide Deck)
PowerPoint (PPTX) + Zip archive file (ZIP) 116 Slides
RISK MANAGEMENT PPT DESCRIPTION
Operational Risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, and systems or from external events. It is perhaps the most significant risk organizations face. Virtually every major loss that has taken place during the past 30 years, from Enron, Worldcom and Baring's Bank to the unauthorized trading incident at Société Générale and the subprime credit crisis, has been driven by operational failures.
Many financial institutions have spent millions of dollars trying to develop a robust framework for measuring and managing Operational Risk. Yet, in spite of this huge investment, for many organizations, developing a viable Operational Risk Management (ORM) program remains an elusive goal.
ORM involves the systematic assessment of potential operational risks, the implementation of controls to mitigate or eliminate those risks, and the continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of those controls. ORM is an important part of overall Risk Management and helps organizations to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks in order to make informed decisions about how to allocate resources and implement controls to manage those risks. ORM is applicable to a wide range of organizations and industries, including financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and government agencies.
This 116-slide PowerPoint is the day 2 presentation taken from a 2-day workshop called "Mastering Operational Risk – Theory & Practice (ORM in Financial Institutions)." This presentation includes the following key sections:
• Business Continuity Management (BCM)
• Corporate Loss Database
• Workshop: Developing OR framework
• Workshop: Defining Key Risk Indicators (KRI)
• Measuring and Managing Operational Risk
• Workshop: Conducting RCSA
The training workshop presentation is designed for both aspiring and active Risk officers, VPs, MDs, heads of departments, CFOs, CRO, analysts, Operational and Risk Management staff from financial services industry – banks, insurance companies, pension funds, consultancies, software vendors operating in these sectors. It will be also useful for a Risk Manager operating in a nonfinancial sector, as well as for interim Risk Managers and consultants who want to get up to speed with a new or current risk assignment.
This product also includes 2 supplemental documents:
• Quiz/Self-assessment (Word document)

Topic FAQ
What are the core components of an operational risk management program?
Core components include definition and governance of operational risk, Business Continuity Management (BCM), a Corporate Loss Database (CLD) for historical losses, Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) for monitoring, Risk Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs) to test controls, crisis management planning, and reporting frameworks — for example, BCM, CLD, KRIs, and RCSA.How should my team approach developing Key Risk Indicators (KRIs)?
Begin by aligning KRIs with the organization’s risk appetite and critical processes, select measurable metrics that provide early warning, and display them in a dashboard for real-time monitoring. The training includes guidance and a KRI dashboard template to define and implement relevant metrics.What is a Corporate Loss Database and how is it used in ORM?
A Corporate Loss Database (CLD) systematically captures internal loss events and related metadata to identify trends and quantify operational exposures. Organizations use CLDs to analyze historical loss drivers and inform control improvements; the workshop provides a CLD setup guide to implement this process.How do I run an effective Risk Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) workshop?
An RCSA workshop should guide participants to identify risks, map existing controls, evaluate control effectiveness, and develop action plans for gaps. The deck outlines a guided RCSA session format and supplies an RCSA toolkit to conduct assessments and record remediation actions.What should I evaluate when buying an operational risk training deck for my bank?
Look for coverage of BCM, CLD, KRIs, RCSA, crisis planning, regulatory alignment (e.g., SOX, FFIEC, ISO), audience fit for risk officers and executives, and included templates or supplemental materials. The product specifies a 116-slide presentation with templates and 2 supplemental documents.Are pre-built templates useful for smaller risk teams or interim managers?
Pre-built templates can help smaller teams and interim risk managers accelerate setup and training by providing ready formats for BCM strategies, CLD capture, KRI dashboards, and RCSA documentation; the workshop explicitly includes a BCM strategy template, CLD guide, KRI dashboard, and RCSA toolkit.Which ORM topics should a team rehearse when preparing for a regulatory audit?
Teams should rehearse Business Continuity Management planning and testing, accuracy and completeness of the Corporate Loss Database, the relevance and thresholds of KRIs, effectiveness of controls through RCSAs, and crisis response and reporting aligned with applicable standards like SOX or ISO 27001.How long should workshops be to cover BCM, RCSA, and KRI development in one session?
A practical agenda example in the training schedules a 90-minute BCM overview and strategy session, a 60-minute RCSA workshop to identify risks and actions, and a 60-minute KRI development session to define metrics and build a dashboard.Document FAQ
