The Public Risk Management Association is developing a program aimed at training a group of government risk managers to train others in the public sector on implementing enterprise risk management using the ISO 31000 standard.
PRIMA is partnering with Dorothy Gjerdrum, senior managing director, and Robin Flint, executive director, of Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.'s public sector group, and Jan Mattingly, president of RiskResults Consulting Inc., on developing the training, PRIMA said in a statement on Monday.
Through the train-the-trainer program, funded by the Public Entity Risk Institute, PRIMA will select trainers from experienced risk managers in the public sector and higher education institutions who will learn a curriculum developed by the partners. The trainers then will teach other public entity and higher education risk managers from throughout the United States how to implement ERM using ISO 31000.
Alexandria, Va.-based PRIMA also will develop ISO 31000 resource materials including articles, implementation guidelines and virtual learning groups focused on the public sector.
Released by the International Organization for Standardization in 2009, ISO 31000 offers principles, a framework and a process for managing risk.
In its Monday statement, PRIMA said it will issue a formal call for trainers and begin the trainer application process in the coming weeks, with the actual program set to begin in late fall 2014.
