Introduction

In the face of increasing uncertainty, global disruptions, regulatory shifts, and data complexity, effective management and risk analytics has become a cornerstone of resilient and intelligent decision-making. To ensure long-term success and sustainability, organizations must not only manage risks but anticipate and quantify them through robust analytical tools and strategic oversight.

The "Management and Risk Analytics" training program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, is designed to empower managers and business leaders with the essential analytical skills and frameworks to evaluate, mitigate, and respond to strategic and operational risks. This program bridges the gap between traditional risk management and modern data-driven analytics by focusing on predictive modeling, key risk indicators (KRIs), dashboards, and scenario-based decision-making.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand key concepts of risk management and enterprise risk frameworks (ERM).

• Utilize risk analytics tools to assess and monitor different types of risk.

• Build and interpret dashboards, risk heatmaps, and scenario analyses.

• Identify, prioritize, and respond to strategic, financial, operational, and reputational risks.

• Align risk management strategies with overall organizational goals.

• Apply quantitative and qualitative techniques for risk evaluation.

• Lead risk-based decision-making at the managerial level.

Course Methodology

This program uses a practical, real-world approach by combining:
