Four integrated modules on one leadership track — with governance, risk & compliance at the core
Sessions from the four modules are spread across the week so that each builds on the previous one, and all of them converge in the group research paper.
Single-module registration is not available; the program is one experience with one fee covering all four modules.
Within its governance, risk and compliance topics, the program draws on recognized international standards and frameworks, including ISO 31000 (risk management), ISO 37000 (governance of organizations) and the COSO framework for internal control and enterprise risk management.
