Overview

A dedicated programme for leaders to enhance their competence and leadership in risk management with a focus in Asia.

Strategic risk is far more consequential than you think!

Identify and quantify any risk that affects your company’s business strategy, strategic objectives and strategy execution.

The SMU Academy Enterprise Risk Management Programme is designed and developed by established industry subject matter experts, practitioners of governance, risk management & compliance.

This programme is aligned to global best practices, offering participants a hands-on learning experience that is directly applicable to real-world scenarios. Rooted in practical application, the SMU Enterprise Risk Management programme integrates a curriculum enriched with authentic Asian case studies.

Additionally, selected elements of the programme are aligned with the Risk Management Society's Certified Risk Management Professional (RIMS-CRMP) curriculum, thereby offering participants a tangible pathway for career advancement through the RIMS-CRMP certification route.

This programme will be offered regionally in Asia Pacific.

Learning Objectives

The programme builds core competencies of board members, senior executives and professionals to support organisational resiliency in value creation and sustained corporate performance. Corporate leaders are also expected to fulfil stakeholder demands on economic, environmental and social impact.
