This course focuses on the use of scenario analysis as a powerful tool within risk management frameworks. Participants will learn how to systematically identify, assess, and prepare for potential future risks by developing structured scenarios. Scenario analysis helps organizations anticipate uncertainties, enhance resilience, and create flexible strategies that can adapt to changing conditions.
Effective application of scenario analysis strengthens risk management practices and ensures organizations are better equipped to manage strategic, operational, financial, and environmental uncertainties.
