As national risk manager for one of Australia’s leading law firms, Minter Ellison, Jamie Timmins works closely with the board and partners of the firm to develop and promote risk management frame work. To complement his extensive business experience with formal qualifications, Jamie sought out Griffith’s Graduate Certificate in Risk Management. He says, "I found the program useful because often I do things without having regard to the tools and methodology. The program forced me to look more closely at the procedures in a range of contexts which then had a benefit on a day-to-day basis. It reinforced the way I was doing things and gave me greater confidence to go and do my job."
In the business world, risk managers analyse numbers and events and advise organisations. They assign credit ratings, determine travel advisories and determine the impact of big decisions both in government and the private sector. When the bottom line is at stake, companies can’t afford to gamble so they turn to risk managers to help them navigate tough decisions.
Griffith’s postgraduate risk management program will teach you how to assess and mitigate risk. Our graduates work for a wide range of high-profile organisations. They’ve proven they can stand the heat and keep the bottom line safe.
