Public servants need to be well equipped to manage risks in today's climate of economic uncertainty, increased expectations for results and accountability, low tolerance for error, and heightened public scrutiny/skepticism. To succeed and meet this major challenge, you and your organization need a strategy and practical ways to identify, prioritize, and manage these risks. With this in mind, this learning event will provide participants (managers and practitioners) with the latest developments, innovations, and tools in managing risks for results. It brings together members of the following organizations--the Treasury Board Secretariat, the Office of the Comptroller General, and a practicing Department to talk about the approaches they are taking, innovations they have made, the associated results, and lessons learned.

You will hear from:

Eric Bélair, Director of the Centre of Excellence on Risk Management, TBS on the drivers of change and challenges in the area of risk management, as well as new tools and guidelines that are being developed by TBS, in collaboration with departments and agencies, to strengthen Government-wide risk management approaches.

Departmental Representative(Director Level, TBD) on their organization's approach to developing and implementing a risk management strategy tailored to their needs, including practical examples of successes and challenges and a discussion of how best to integrate risk management with strategic and operational planning,

Les fonctionnaires doivent être bien équipés pour gérer les risques dans le climat actuel d'incertitude économique, d'attentes accrues à l'égard des résultats et de l'imputabilité, de la faible tolérance à l'erreur et de l'examen minutieux et du scepticisme croissant du public. Pour réussir à relever ce défi important, votre organisation et vous-même devez posséder une stratégie et des méthodes pratiques pour identifier, prioriser et gérer ces risques. En tenant compte de ces éléments, cette activité d'apprentissage fournira aux participants (gestionnaires et praticiens) les derniers développements, innovations et outils utilisés pour la gestion des risques afin d'obtenir des résultats. La séance rassemblera des membres des organismes suivants - Secrétariat du Conseil du Trésor, Bureau du Contrôleur général et un ministère praticien qui parleront des approches qu'ils utilisent, des innovations qu'ils ont faites, des résultats connexes et des leçons apprises.
