Overview

In today’s fast-moving environment, the most effective finance leaders don’t just manage risk—they lead through it. This course repositions risk management as a strategic discipline that sharpens decisions, earns stakeholder trust, and protects long-term value. Participants will learn to identify high-impact risks, design agile frameworks, and apply structured judgment in scenarios like acquisitions, market volatility, and capital stewardship. With tools to build C-suite alignment, create dynamic risk registers, and assess real-time readiness, the course empowers finance leaders to lead confidently and proactively in uncertain times.

  • Recognize signals of emerging or shifting risk across strategic, operational, and external domains
  • Select appropriate stakeholder communication strategies to escalate, monitor, or mitigate key risks
