Course summary
Course Overview
Businesses are faced with and take risks constantly; and only those organisations who understand and can respond to risk challenges and impacts, demonstrating resilience, are truly capable and competitive. These businesses need analytical, capable and knowledgeable teams and leaders who are able to plan, operate, manage and ultimately succeed in the ‘VUCA’ world of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.
The MBA Risk and Resilience enhances the knowledge and capability of experienced professionals who are seeking to further their careers in a variety of sectors. It builds the levels of confidence and business understanding with a central focus on the influence of and need for risk and resilience capability that will help career progression. The MBA will equip you with the ability to effectively respond to unpredictable challenges and succeed in competitive business environments; where margins of time, resource and competitive advantage may be narrow; and where acumen and agility matter.
