Course Overview

This three day executive training course will cover some of the most pressing and critical areas of enterprise risk management that executives in organisations worldwide currently face.

You will learn how to better position risk management to influence and improve the strategy of the organisation as well as to improve decision making and increase organisational resilience. Resilience is of vital importance in a world that is increasingly moving to a digital future and where disrupting technologies and competitors come at a much faster speed than ever before. With the ever increasing exposure to Digital risks, it is additionally important to be prepared and ultimately safeguard the reputation of the organisation.

There will be a focus on how to analyse your organisations top corporate and strategic risks using a number of techniques and ensuring it is part of business-as-usual by implementing advanced methods of reporting and building a strong and positive risk culture. Part of the learning will be around implementing tools to help identify emerging risks and black swans with a focus on digital risk and the protection of reputation.

On completion of this course expect to have a solid understanding of how to take risk management to the next level within your organisation by building it into strategy, culture and decision making at the very top levels of the organisation. Expect to be in a stronger position to add value by protecting reputation and having a stronger understanding of the Digital pitfalls and opportunities that your organisation should be focused on.
