DUBLIN, Nov. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Strategy & Risk Management for Board of Directors" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This programme is offered in 2 different formats: in person, in central London on 15-16 Nov as a 2 full days programme, and as a virtual live training split into 3 x 4.5 hrs on 6-8 Dec 2022, with sessions starting at 10 a.m. GMT.

The training is conducted by an expert with over 25 years of practical experience and shortlisted for the Governance Champion of the Year 2020 Award in the Chartered Governance Institute Awards 2020.

Companies don't fail, boards do. It is the board's responsibility, working with the executive team, to ensure that the company has the correct strategy in place, that the plan is executed well, and that risks to the delivery of the strategy are properly managed. Companies' inability to manage these processes leads to well-documented cases of corporate decline and failure.

The Strategy and Risk Programme explores the processes and systems associated with delivering high-quality strategy formulation, execution, and risk management to achieve the company's objectives. Using case studies and drawing on delegates' own experience, the workshop will examine how academic and management thinking has evolved in these critical areas of a company's operations.

By attending the Programme, delegates will be able to develop their thinking around the strategy and risk models in current business use, consider the practical implications for their company, and identify improvements which they can implement to increase the prospect of business success.
