Certified Enterprise Risk Management
 
Quality + Engineering (Q+E) developed the Certified Enterprise Risk Manager® certificate program to provide training to engineering, technology and operational professionals.  Quality + Engineering has taken the global lead on operational enterprise risk management (ERM):
 
  • Developed the Certified Enterprise Risk Manager® (CERM) Academy for operations risk professionals.
  • Led the development of operational risk management.
  • Developed Department of Homeland Security certified risk methodologies.
  • Developed trademarked risk methodologies, such as Value Added Auditing(R).
  • Develop framework of risk frameworks that integrate NIST risk frameworks, ISO 31K risk frameworks, and COSO financial frameworks.
Why? Every day there seems to be a ‘Black Swan’ event. A ‘Black Swan’ event is a seemingly low likelihood, but high impact, catastrophic event, such as the Gulf oil spill, Toyota recalls, lettuce ecoli, volcanic eruptions, cyber security intrusions, and other operational risk events.
As well, cyber security, power grid, supply chain, interoperability, communications, and other standards are more often based on risk management principles. Risk management is now considered a core skill for the exercise of due care for all technology and operational professionals.
What is CERM?
