Course Overview

Organizations today face an unprecedented and growing number of internal, external, and systematic risks - from intellectual property theft to cyber hacking to COVID-19. These risks pose significant economic, regulatory, and reputational challenges to organizational leaders. In this course, we will examine how organizations assess these threats and develop strategies to manage such risks in an uncertain world.

Each week, we will have leaders from the private and public space join us to describe how they confronted risks to their organizations - both successfully and unsuccessfully. We will use these discussions to better understand how risk management fits within the broader strategy of an organization. Ultimately, we will develop both qualitative and quantitative approaches to more effectively anticipate, prioritize, and mitigate threats.
