Strategic Risk Management:                     A New Approach

Graduates of this program will enhance their academic capabilities and credentials in an area of expertise that is fundamental to sustainable performance of their organizations.

They will be ahead of the curve because they will have the capacity to understand and manage risk from a broad systemic and strategic perspective. Additionally, they will learn innovative modeling techniques and become equipped with a toolset that will enable them to understand how a firm’s strategy and business contours drive risk exposure profiles.

The strategic capstone presented at the culmination of the program ties together the substantive content and practical case work taught throughout the year in a concrete risk analysis of the students’ choosing.

Approach:
The program covers all key dimensions of risk encountered in both financial firms and in finance function of non-financial services businesses. The substantive content of the program is put into the context of both the current and prospective regulatory environment encompassing each of the main dimensions of risk.

Participants live and work in their home countries and attend five concentrated, rigorous educational sessions in three different learning locations over a one-year period.
