Enterprise Risk Management Course: Align Strategy, Risk and Performance for Sustainable Growth

In the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world of today, characterized by constant disruptions and unpredictable challenges, the role of enterprise risk management (ERM) becomes even more critical an​d complex than before. Having a strong grasp of ERM and business continuity management (BCM) is essential for managing risks, creating value and maintaining the long-term growth and sustainability of an organization.

Our Nanyang Enterprise Risk Management programme (Nanyang ERM) enables management and risk executives to gain a more holistic view of risk throughout the organisation, so they can better align their business model and strategies to manage risk and achieve better returns.

  1. Analyzing the Business Model
  2. Designing Organizational Risk Strategies
  3. Implementing the Risk Process​
  4. Developing Organizational Risk Competency
  5. Supporting Decision Making

Besides deepening your knowledge and skills in ERM concepts, processes, tools and frameworks, these core competencies are aligned to the five domains of the RIMS-Certified Risk Management Professional (RIMS-CRMP) exam. 

Nanyang Enterprise Risk Management course is the first university programme in Asia to offer a compelling 3-in-1 value proposition:
