Overview
The need to facilitate effectively and confidently is growing. At VMIA we’re often asked to facilitate group meetings for our clients. These workshops have a range of purposes, often around designing frameworks, managing risks and considering strategy.
The World Economic Forum The Future of Jobs Report 2020 highlights the need for more skills in critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving in the lead up to 2025. Our workshop is designed to meet this demand.

Facilitators

Pete Gervasoni, Client Learning Facilitator
Hi there! I’ve worked in senior risk roles across multiple agencies over the past 15 years. I’m a certified practising risk manager and a Fellow of the Institute of Strategic Risk Management. I’m also an expert on the Standards Australia/ISO group for Security and Resilience and Risk Management.

Gresa, Client Capability Adviser
I’m a registered nurse by background, having worked in clinical, education and risk roles in one of the largest health services in Victoria. These roles have inspired me to complete a Master of Business (Risk Management) degree, which focused on risk management and finance. I’m passionate about risk management and healthcare and enjoy combining insights from both professions to add value to the services we provide our clients at VMIA.

When an event has a wide date range (e.g. 1 Jan - 31 Dec) rather than a specific day, it means the event will be scheduled when there are enough participants.
You can register your interest for that event, by going to the event page and clicking on the button Expression of interest at the bottom of the event page. You will be joining the waiting list and we will notify you once the training is available.
