Strategic Risk Masterclass

View upcoming dates »

If predicting the future was easy everyone would be doing it and we wouldn’t have any risks. But that’s not reality.

If you ever wondered why your company's risk management isn't working as it should be, then this is the workshop for you. Join John Crawley as he helps you to tackle this dilemma by splitting the masterclass into three core themes addressing the key challenges to achieving successful strategic risk management.

Course Overview

Are you happy with your organisation’s growth plans?

Would you be prepared to push a bit harder?

The Strategic Masterclass focuses on using risk management to take more risks in a controlled way to gain a competitive advantage.

The content will give you a grounding in risk appetite and tolerance, risk culture, strategic risk and control effectiveness. You will also gain a good understanding of Resilience, Agility and Sustainability and how they relate to the running of your organisation.

Over the course of the 3-day workshop, you will consider your strategic opportunities and their associated risks. You will weigh these options and risks against your existing resilience and agility. You will weigh up what additional capabilities and controls would be needed to pursue these opportunities in a measured and balanced way.
