Course Overview
This 18-hour programme - comprising 14 hours of classroom training and 4 hours of inhouse training - aims to equip senior professionals with advanced knowledge and skills to transform risk management practices into a proactive, technology-driven approach that will enable them to identify, assess, and mitigate risks, enhance organisational resilience, and drive sustainable growth.
In today's rapidly evolving business environment, where organisations face a complex and ever-changing risk landscape, this has become critical. Traditional risk management approaches, relying solely on reactive measures, are no longer sufficient to protect businesses from emerging threats.
By participating in this training programme, senior executives will gain the insights and skills needed to position their organisations at the forefront of risk management practices, ensuring long-term success and resilience in the face of increasing uncertainty and complexity.

CTOs and CIOs interested in leveraging technology for risk management
Directors and heads of risk management departments
Senior managers responsible for strategic planning and decision-making
Heads and Managers of Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit
Decision makers
Training Style
The programme is interactive in nature and participants will be actively involved, using their own experiences and challenges to reinforce and adapt the new knowledge and skills to their own reality, as well as examples, case studies, tools and simulations.
The use of assessments, tools and reflective exercises will also allow participants to increase their awareness and provide opportunity for reflection and discussion.
The training sessions will combine elements of PowerPoint presentations, open discussions, case studies, audio/visual material and experiential exercises/tools.
In-house Training /Advisory Session
Upon completing the 14-hour in-class training programme, participants will engage in a tailored 4-hour in-house session offering focused guidance, advice, and training to address the specific needs and challenges of both the participants and their organisation. They will have the opportunity to apply the innovative risk management concepts learned in the classroom to their specific organisational context.
The session will be practical and hands-on during which participants will be able to create a customised action plan for implementing innovative risk management practices, addressing their organisation's specific challenges and leveraging emerging technologies to enhance risk prediction and mitigation strategies. They will work collaboratively to develop a tailored risk management framework, focusing on their company's unique risk landscape. Participants will use advanced tools and techniques, to identify and assess key risks.
Finally, after the completion of the in-house session, the trainer will prepare a report outlining the approach followed, the topics examined, key findings, and tailored recommendations for the organisation.
