- Leverage risk intelligence to improve decision-making.
- Use Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) to anticipate and manage emerging risks.
- Embed a risk-aware culture that supports business objectives.

Through interactive exercises and real-world case studies, attendees will gain practical skills to apply risk management principles strategically within their organization.

- Strengthening resilience to operational disruptions.

Topic Background
Operational Risk Management (ORM) is often viewed as a compliance-driven function, focused primarily on avoiding penalties and adhering to regulations. However, forward-thinking organizations recognize that ORM can be a strategic enabler that drives business growth, enhances decision-making, and strengthens competitive advantage.
By integrating ORM into strategic planning, organizations can anticipate emerging risks, optimize resource allocation, and improve resilience. This course explores how businesses can move beyond compliance to unlock the true value of operational risk management, using risk intelligence to create opportunities, drive efficiencies, and build a more agile organization.
