Risk and Opportunity Management
ISO 9001:2026 Clause 6.1 requires your organization to determine the risks and opportunities that affect your quality management system and to plan actions to address them. The 2026 edition treats risks and opportunities as separate processes with separate actions. Management representatives, process owners, and QMS teams own this requirement and must show evidence of it at every audit.
This risk and opportunity management training course covers the formal, systematic method for doing so. You use measurable, objective data to rate the probability and severity of loss, link risks and opportunities to your organizational context, interested parties, policy, and objectives, and record them in a register. The course follows ISO 31000:2018, the international guideline for risk management, as its method. You leave with a completed risk and opportunity register for your own process and a work plan to run the method in your organization.
Does ISO 9001:2026 require ISO 31000?
No. ISO 9001:2026 requires risk-based thinking and actions to address risks and opportunities. It does not require a formal risk management system, a risk manager, or the use of ISO 31000. ISO 31000:2018 is a guideline, not a certifiable standard. This course uses it because it gives a repeatable process: scope and context, risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation, risk treatment, monitoring and review, and recording and reporting. Applying that process to Clause 6.1 gives auditors the evidence they look for and gives your team a method that also works for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.
What is the difference between a risk and an opportunity?
ISO 9001 defines risk as the effect of uncertainty. Under the 2015 edition, risks and opportunities were addressed together, and many organizations recorded only negative risks. The 2026 edition separates the two. A risk is a potential deviation from the expected result that you treat to reduce likelihood or impact. An opportunity is a set of circumstances that allows you to improve performance, which you evaluate and pursue. The course covers how to identify, rate, and treat each type.
