Course Overview
When project and investment financial risk is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on financial risk, which nobody trained them for. The programme works equally well for those formalising the practice within organisational leadership for the first time and those improving an existing approach. What blocks progress on project and investment financial risk is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the organisational leadership capability is working and when it is only appearing to. Applied research in organisational leadership consistently shows that early structure around financial risk reduces downstream rework. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from project and investment financial risk, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. It treats financial risk as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on the practice within organisational leadership ready to put in front of a decision maker.
