Introduction

Organisations today operate in an environment defined by geopolitical volatility, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and heightened regulatory expectations. In this context, traditional risk management approaches that focus on isolated or operational risks are no longer sufficient. Enterprise Risk Management must support strategic decision-making, resilience, and sustainable value creation. This Advanced Enterprise Risk Management training course addresses how organisations can evaluate risks based on business materiality and prioritise those that genuinely affect strategic outcomes.

The course moves beyond risk avoidance by focusing on how ERM enables informed decision-making, performance alignment, and board-level engagement. Participants develop a deeper understanding of emerging risks, risk appetite, and advanced assessment techniques that allow organisations to manage uncertainty while pursuing growth and long-term objectives.
