Description

The ability to transform uncertainty into strategic opportunities is mission critical in an ever-changing world.

This program gives you a deeper insight into how to build an organization that not only stands firm in uncertain times but can also exploit the external challenges it meets to maximize value creation.

You will gain an holistic perspective on the effects of different risks on business models and an understanding of resilience as a strategic management issue and key success factor.

Program content

The program provides an holistic perspective both on the ways in which current geopolitics are bringing about rapid changes in the risk landscape – and the consequent substantial impact on organizations – and on methods of integrating resilience strategy and governance in a way that both counter this impact and directly support your organization’s goals.

From the program content:

  • Geopolitical challenges – how global turbulence affects Swedish companies
  • The new risk landscape and why resilience is a strategic issue
  • Impact on strategy and sustainability – ESG as a risk and governance issue
  • The volatile business landscape and vulnerabilities in value chains
  • Cybersecurity threats in an AI-focused world
  • National security and civil preparedness
  • Case study and scenario-based exercises

Lectures and theory are interwoven with workshops and discussions. Experiential learning allows you to:

  • Work with real life case studies in the form of practical exercises
  • Discuss strategies and experiences with experts and leaders from different sectors
  • Develop methods of risk analysis and action plans
Results

Upon completion of the program, you will:

  • understand resilience as a strategic management issue and key success factor
  • be able to transform external challenges into value creation within your own organization
  • know how to assemble structures that build future preparedness into your organization’s governance and decision-making
  • have developed your ability to lead the organization in uncertain times
  • be able to use methods designed to build a risk-aware culture that creates scope for opportunities, initiative, and collaboration.
Is this the right program for you?

The program is designed for managers and leaders who take strategic and operational decisions. If you are interested in enhancing your ability both to navigate uncertainty in a complex external world and to build a robust organization with reduced vulnerability, this is the program for you.
