About the Course
In our increasingly interconnected world, systemic risk is no longer just a theoretical concept; it's a strategic priority. From global supply chains to financial markets and digital infrastructures, a single shock can ripple across institutions, sectors, and borders. Understanding and managing these interdependencies is critical for preventing crises that can jeopardize entire systems.
This course turns systemic risk management from a theoretical framework into a real-world strategic discipline. Participants will learn how to identify connections between different parts, evaluate weaknesses, run stress tests, and create plans to avoid failures that spread. They will gain skills in early warning systems, crisis coordination, and macroprudential oversight. This program emphasizes hands-on tools and frameworks, not academic formulas, tailored for professionals tasked with keeping organizations and systems stable, compliant, and crisis-ready.
