C-4E Mitigating Risk in a Confinement Setting Track: Prisons Room 202-B Risk mitigation refers to the process of planning and developing methods and options to reduce threats or risks. Participants will learn how to implement risk mitigation strategies to identify, monitor and evaluate risks and consequences. These tools can be applied to organizations, correctional institutions and facilities as well as personal life. This session will cover five risk mitigation strategies with examples. Appropriate risk mitigation involves first identifying potential risks to a project — like team turnover, product failure or scope creep — and then planning for the risk by implementing strategies to help lessen or halt the risk. Strategies will be presented for consideration in risk mitigation planning and monitoring. Learning Objectives: • Understand how to identify and avoid risk. • Understand how to control and transfer risk. • Understand how to watch and monitor risk.
