Delegates will gain a broad understanding of the benefits, principles and processes involved in risk management and discover how, by taking an integrated approach, they can minimise threats, maximise opportunities and prepare for the unexpected.

The course is underpinned by ISO 31000, the global risk management standard.

Risk management should form part of everyone’s responsibilities at every level, in any organisation of any size, in any sector anywhere in the world. Delegates won’t become risk experts, but they will learn the essential skills needed to be able to identify, manage and communicate the risks that matter in their area of responsibility and appreciate the consequences of their decisions on the rest of the organisation.

The course is specifically relevant to, but not limited to:

• Anyone who manages risk
• Those starting a career in risk management
• Managers working in risk-related disciplines including, but not limited to, health and safety, compliance, business continuity, resilience, environmental management, insurance, quality management, security etc
• Risk champions
• Project managers
• Managers responsible for implementing systems of governance and change
• Business owners looking to improve their performance and resilience
• Managers in small/medium sized enterprises with many different roles/risks to juggle
• Individuals simply looking to learn how risk management can help them do their job better

IIRSM is a professional membership organisation for those responsible for managing risks in all their forms. And our vision is a future where people live and work in a safer, healthier and more sustainable world. We’re independent and speak freely, championing risk management to drive positive change for both employee and organisational wellbeing. And we do this through setting standards, connecting people and organisations, and providing practical education, training, advice and resources.

With their unique brand of progressive rock, Focus manifested themselves at the start of the ’70s as the most successful and appreciated of all the Dutch pop-rock exports. Fronted by founding member Thijs Van Leer, and best known for their hits “Hocus Pocus”, “House of The King” and “Sylvia”, as well as critically acclaimed albums ‘Moving Waves’, ‘Focus 3’ and ‘Hamburger Concerto’, the iconic Dutch music masters are back with their tenth album, which is guaranteed to please their legions of fans! After a comeback in the early 2000’s, which resulted in the well-received albums ‘Focus 8’ and ‘Focus 9’, the band regrouped with a fantastic new line-up. Along with Thijs van Leer on vocals, flute and keyboards, back on the drums is famed Focus drummer Pierre van der Linden, who joined the group on their second album ‘Moving Waves’ in 1972. Internationally renowned for his rhythmic skills, Pierre remains a defining factor in the Focus sound. Guitarist Menno Gootjes, who participated in Focus at an earlier stage, and acclaimed bass player Udo Pannekeet, complete the band’s current line-up. Recently, Focus’s biggest hit “Hocus Pocus” was used in a 4-minute Nike commercial before the World Cup broadcast. Focus music can be regularly heard on Top Gear and Saxondale on TV in the UK. A new Focus era has arrived! There is a rejuvenated passion amongst the band as it enters the studio to record Focus 11 and prepares to go out on the road again for a World Tour, in support of the new album, and as it builds up to its 50th Anniversary.

The Christians’ first five singles all made the Top 40 in Britain, and their debut album The Christians (1987) entered the UK Albums Chart at number 2. It eventually sold over a million copies. The highest-placed single from this album was “Ideal World”, which reached number 14 in the UK Singles Chart.

In 1988, they released a cover of the Isley Brothers’ “Harvest for the World”, with all proceeds going to charity. The video for the track was an animation, created by four leading animation companies, including Aardman Animations. The video won several awards, and the single reached number 8 in the UK singles chart, their sixth consecutive British Top 40 hit.

1989 saw another charity single success, this time as performers on a version of “Ferry Cross the Mersey”, released in aid of those affected by the Hillsborough disaster. The single stayed at number one for several weeks (No. 5 in Germany).

Their second album, Colour, released in 1990, reached number one in the UK Albums Chart and yielded the international hit “Words”, which was No. 18 in the UK (including the Hillsborough charity single their eighth consecutive UK Top 40 hit) and Sweden, No. 5 in the Netherlands (for two weeks), and No. 1 in France (also for two weeks). The second single from the album, “I Found Out”, reached No. 22 in France (No. 56 in the UK). In 1992, the following LP, Happy in Hell, charted at number 18. Its single, “What’s in a Word”, entered the UK Top 40 (their 9th single release to do so), and was a Top 20 hit in France (with a total chart run of 19 weeks); it also entered the German Top 75, reaching No. 60.

The early 1990s saw the band continuing to tour. A greatest hits album, The Best of the Christians, was released in 1993, and peaked at number 22.

Level: beginner   Prerequisites: Laptop with wifi, modern browser, text editor   RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/Norfolk-Developers-NorDev/events/242461849/   JavaScript is amazing.   It is a powerful, simple, infuriating, elegant and sometimes irrational programming language which was born in a hurry and can now do almost anything you can imagine. It can make whizzy websites, speak to databases, and draw maps, it can fly drones, make games, and build apps. You can run it on your watch or on your phone, on any web page or on hundreds of virtual servers.   And if you’re reading this you’re probably contemplating learning it.   This day-long workshop aims to cover enough ground to give you a broad base from which to start your quest. We’ll use plenty of practical exercises to explore the language. We’ll cover some of the tricky parts which often mystify people – especially handling asynchronous code, which is one of the language’s great strengths. We’ll spend most of our time in the browser, but we’ll also play around with node.js, JavaScript’s foremost server-side environment. There’ll be time to survey some of the different tools and frameworks which are popular with JavaScripters at the moment. As well as all this we’ll explore JavaScript’s history, its culture and community, and the factors behind its explosive growth. Perhaps most importantly we’ll introduce a set of resources which’ll help you continue your learning independently.   You’ll need to come equipped with a laptop, and you should have a modern browser installed, along with a text editor you’re comfortable using. You don’t need to have a lot of knowledge or experience to join in, though any familiarity with another programming language will help a lot.   There’s a lot to get into one day, so please bring lunch and Neontribe will be buying the first round in the pub straight after the workshop.   Rupert Redington   Rupert ran away from the theatre to become a web developer at the turn of the century. Since then he’s been making mistakes at Neontribe as fast as he can, learning from a reasonable percentage of them. Recently he’s been using Javascript to help teenagers talk to doctors, Americans to buy airline tickets and everybody to find their way to the loo.   “Rupert did a fine job of making this an entertaining subject and his enthusiasm for js was infectious.” – Matthew Shorten   “Thoroughly enjoyed it! Presenter was excellent. Would be interested in any other JS courses that he runs.” -Stephen Pengilley   “I’d certainly sign up for other courses Rupert hosts in a flash. This was an introduction and as such it was perfectly positioned (in my humble…), but if ever there’s an “intermediate” course which goes into more depth with core principles & real-world use of loops, arrays, functions & objects that would be great.” – Steve Harman
