Overview

Resilience by Design: Enterprise Risk as a Value-Creation Engine

Risk management has shifted from being a compliance checklist to a strategic differentiator. Global boards and regulators now demand evidence that risk is not only being identified but also actively shaping business decisions, investments, and resilience strategies. The reality is stark: geopolitical rifts, climate shocks, fragile supply chains, and AI-driven disruption are converging, forcing organisations to treat risk as a system of decision intelligence rather than a defensive afterthought.

This 5-month Professional Diploma in Enterprise Risk Management is designed to produce leaders who can navigate this complexity with confidence. Built on the world’s most respected frameworks—COSO ERM, ISO 31000, Basel’s Operational Resilience Principles, ISSB’s sustainability standards, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, this programme equips you with a practical, board-ready toolkit that works in the real world. It will train you to link risk to strategy, value, and performance, quantify what matters, and communicate with the clarity boards demand. Expect a hands-on, impact-first experience. You won’t just study frameworks—you’ll build them into action: risk appetites that leaders actually follow, dashboards that drive sharper decisions, and resilience playbooks tested against today’s biggest threats. Every module turns insight into practical tools you can take straight to your organisation.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a bespoke ERM operating system—a complete, integrated plan that aligns with your organisation’s strategy, performance goals, and regulatory obligations. For professionals, it’s a career accelerant. For organisations, it’s a capability upgrade—moving from compliance to resilience, and from uncertainty to competitive advantage.

 

Programme Objectives

On successful completion of the programme, you will be able to:

· Draft a risk appetite statement that guides choices and KRIs.

· Develop an ISO 31000-aligned risk framework tailored to your organisation’s context.

· Quantify uncertainty (scenarios, stress tests, light-touch Monte Carlo) and build management-ready risk dashboards.

· Map critical services, set disruption tolerances, and run resilience testing aligned to Basel POR.

· Produce investor-grade climate and sustainability risk disclosures consistent with IFRS S1/S2.

· Govern AI/tech risk using NIST’s AI RMF (govern–map–measure–manage).
