In the 21st century, we have witnessed disruptions increasing in magnitude, velocity and frequency – largely driven by unprecedented rates of technological advancement and innovation.

This module on Digital Risk Management & Disruption has been designed by international and experienced ERM practitioners to help risk professionals work with the tides of change and prevent the waves of disruption from washing away the organisation’s success. Participants will be equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to proactively embrace and plan for disruption – digital disruption in particular – using tried and tested ERM methodologies & principles that are relevant, based on international best practice, and tailored to suit today’s transformed and highly-digitised world. Participants will also be exposed to the novel concepts of digital risk management as well as digitised risk management and its viability in keeping risk management in the organisation robust and efficient, befitting current and emerging needs in a digital environment and ecosystem.
