Course number 3 will clearly delineate the positive and negative features of categorization schema that need to be known.

In order to have any types of intelligent discussions relative to risk and the various types of risk that any organization can encounter it can be helpful to have a risk categorization schema. These tools can then be used in group-based discussions but also in settings where executives are involved and need to get a perspective on where the real risks are.
The fact that risks are many and varied is not at all unusual. But when they can be categorized as this course will clearly discuss, then a more definitive method of dealing with them can normally be arrived at. That is because the pictures of risk become much more clear. There are many varied types of categorizations that can be used. This course will clearly delineate the positive and negative features of the categorization schema that need to be known.
The intended audience for this course is professionals who want to build their knowledge in the areas of risk and data analytics. These are the two most important areas of knowledge building in the world of industry and government today. The intended audience is those people who are both starting out, but also, for those who work in all areas and have experience but have never been educated in the areas of risk and data analytics and how they can be applied.
The ultimate intent of this series of courses is to have somebody earn a professional certification in analytics which will further their careers both now and in the future.
