threat and opportunity based on a clear understanding of the

from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective, using ESIs

tools, including ESIs highly regarded risk assessment model, you

will learn how to evaluate and respond to risk at the project and

task levels.

Included in the course is a multi-part case study that takes you
