Course description
The Bowtie methodology is used for risk assessment, risk management and risk communication and awareness. The method is designed to give a better overview of the situation in which certain risks are present; to help people understand the relationship between the risks and organizational events. The method also provides a structure to systematically analyze a hazard.
Bowtie analysis, therefore, is an increasingly popular approach to help manage risk. This programme provides a critical review of the method’s benefits, limitations, and practical uses, with hands-on practice in applying the technique.
The course introduces bowtie methodology, examines the various bowtie analysis components andprovides a critical review of the method's benefits, limitations and practical uses, with hands-on practice at applying the technique.
