Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.
“I recommend this course to anyone serving on a board,” said Ms. McBride. “I have been a risk practitioner for more than twenty years, and I can say with confidence that this course will enrich your knowledge base for upping your game in the boardroom.”
