Course Overview

We all now agree that the world as we know it has changed forever. The implications of Covid-19 will remain for many years to come altering our professional and personal lives in so many ways.
Covid-19 will not only result in industry disruptions but also will disrupt many professions as well. Risk Management represents one of the key professions to be impacted by the virus, as our entire mindset that was completely anchored towards “Severity”, “Likelihood”, “Impact” and “Prioritization” has now been completely altered.
Organizations need to consider as to whether they need to be prepared for the least likelihood of outcomes as much as to the highest likelihood of outcomes. Debatable but rationalizations worth considering.
Based on the above, we anticipate that risk management will gradually rise on the Corporate Board Agenda and will now have a more engaged and progressive seat at the table.
This training program has been tailored to ensure todays Risk Managers are able to adapt with the challenges of tomorrow. The below details key topics that will be addressed.
