    ISO 31000 Risk management
    Shaping the future 
    Free Workshop 13 & 14 June - London
     
    ISO 31000 – Risk management - Principles and guidance and ISO Guide 73 - Risk management- Terminology - are currently being considered for revision.  The ISO technical committee, TC/262 – Risk Management – is responsible for this work and has established a group to obtain feedback from risk professionals, users of the standards, and other relevant stakeholders.  
     
    BSI and the Continutiy Forum is assisting the review process by holding a special two day workshop to consider various aspects of risk included in the documents.  Your input into this review is very important and will be fed directly into ISO TC/262.
     
    The ISO TC/262 and BSI workshop “ISO 31000 – Shaping the future” will be held 13-14th June at BSI, London.  Risk management professions and representatives from relevant constituencies are invited to register online.  
     
    Registrants will need to complete a brief questionnaire regarding their roles, familiarity and use of the standards in order to help us develop a better understanding of how ISO 31000 is currently being used.  The results of this survey will be presented at the workshop and will help determine the topics selected for discussion.
     
    The event offers a unique opportunity to discuss ISO 31000, ISO Guide 73 and risk management in standardisation among risk professionals. Prior knowledge of ISO 31000 and ISO Guide 73 would be valuable but is not necessary.       
     
    The workshop is free but places are limited so please apply now to avoid disappointment.
     
    Those who register for this event and do not attend will incur a £100 fee unless they have informed BSI at least 7 days prior to the event. This enables us to allocate your place to someone else and ensures that we do not lose out on the resources spent on planning and organising the event.
     
     
    Book your place on the TC262 ISO 31000 workshop event - London 13 & 14th June
