Risk Management

Our Risk Management programs enhance participant knowledge of the top-down and strategic nature of enterprise risk management (ERM) (versus lower level risk management issues and compliance nature) to help all see the connection to strategy and governance. They also expose participants to governance and risk management methodology and related tools for doing an ERM service engagement.

Past clients: Deloitte, KPMG

Risk management programs are delivered in partnership with the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Initiative.
