Risk workshops are where risk management earns its credibility with the business — or loses it. This highly practical one-day masterclass addresses the real aims of risk identification and analysis workshops and majors on tangible advice: pre-workshop research and preparation, agendas anchored in the organisation’s strategy and risk policy, creating the environment for genuine dialogue, and capturing, categorising and ranking what emerges. Techniques are rehearsed, not just described — brainstorming, stress testing and scenario analysis, executive interviews and external research — and the programme closes on the follow-up and action planning that keeps momentum after the room empties.

Who teaches this
Practitioners, not presenters.
Led by practitioners who have carried governance, risk and compliance accountability themselves: chief risk officers and heads of enterprise risk, heads of financial-crime compliance and certified anti-money-laundering specialists, internal-audit leaders and directors who sit on the committees these programmes prepare you for. Several hold current seats; all advise institutions under supervision between cohorts.
What the bench brings
- Enterprise risk framework design and risk culture
- Risk appetite, limits and risk and control self-assessment
- Capital, liquidity and stress-testing frameworks
- Operational risk and resilience
- Model validation and risk systems
- Board and executive risk governance
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Banking & financial services · Insurance · Technology & fintech · Government & public sector
Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas
How they teach
- Board-pack and committee case work
- Chaired role plays and committee exercises
- Group discussion of real incidents and findings
- Self-assessments against supervisory expectations
- Knowledge checks and a personal action plan
Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.
