Risk Management for Corporate Leaders—Virtual

This virtual program immerses you in dynamic case studies, scenario planning, and wargaming exercises, as you explore how public, private, and nonprofit organizations are driving and preserving enterprise value. You will return to your company with a personal Key Risk Indicator scorecard that incorporates risk into strategy execution—and with the frameworks to turn short-range risks into long-term opportunities.

The program takes place over two weeks, with live, synchronous classes from 8:15 AM to 2:05 PM ET, including time for discussion groups. Participants should expect to spend at least 9-12 hours on self-paced case preparation prior to attending the program. Case materials will be made available approximately two weeks prior to program start.

Collaborative learning is an integral part of the experience. To maximize the benefit for everyone, you are expected to attend every session, complete all assignments, and contribute effectively in the class and in small groups.

Teams taking the program together will conduct daily de-briefing calls among participating members to discuss their learnings and how those may be applied within their organization. In addition, teams of four or more will be invited to engage in a post-program session with an HBS teaching leader within 90 days of the course's completion. They will have the option to invite managers, executives, and/or board members who did not attend the program. The timing enables participating teams to develop an action and implementation plan to discuss. Alternatively, teams can invite a larger group of their colleagues to attend a one-hour workshop to collect feedback on an implementation proposal, receive a presentation based on one of the sessions from the course, or participate in an interactive discussion about key concepts covered in the course.
