PMI has the standard for risk management that is available for members. It would be very helpful. I have a lot of experience in the area, let me know how can I help you.

One way to learn is to begin with reviewing the template for your organization's practices.

I would try to network with people inside your own area of industry.

For risk management in general, you can study general practices and read case studies of projects that succeeded and failed due to their preparations and execution.

Risks vary greatly by subject matter however. You should understand the most common, and most impactful risks in your specific domain. Risks in health care and how they are managed for example, may have little resemblance to software development. The decisions you make can have a big impact on cost and flow, such as dual paths, extra inventory, or "we'll cross that bridge when we get there."

Finding someone who has the background in risk you are likely to face, will probably be much more valuable than general theory.
