Introduction

Managing risk effectively is one of the most critical responsibilities of contemporary leadership. Organisations operate amid uncertainty driven by market volatility, regulatory change, technological disruption, and complex stakeholder expectations. While risk cannot be eliminated, it can be understood, prioritised, and managed to protect value and enable informed opportunity-taking. Robust internal control and governance are essential to ensure risks are treated consistently and transparently across strategy and operations.

Participants learn how to analyse risk in terms of likelihood and impact, design proportionate control mechanisms, and embed risk management into decision-making and corporate culture.
