Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Many of the most damaging disruptions organisations face were visible as weak signals long before they arrived: emerging technologies, geopolitical tensions, climate trends, social change and new forms of crime. Organisations that systematically scan the horizon can prepare earlier, adapt strategies and avoid being taken by surprise.
This Horizon Scanning and Emerging Risk Management training course teaches practical methods for detecting, assessing and responding to emerging risks and opportunities. Participants learn how to build a scanning process, use diverse information sources, recognise weak signals, apply futures techniques such as scenarios and trend analysis, assess emerging risks and communicate insights to decision makers.
The course helps risk, strategy and resilience professionals move from reactive risk registers to forward-looking intelligence that shapes decisions.
