Navigate Uncertainty with Confidence
In today’s fast-changing environment, not for-profits face economic volatility, cyber threats, regulatory shifts, and rising stakeholder expectations. Traditional compliance-based risk frameworks are no longer enough. This program empowers leaders to transform risk management into a strategic advantage.
AcademyGlobal in partnership with the Institute of Strategic Risk Management, invite you to take part in a high-impact program designed to elevate your thinking, sharpen your tools, and prepare you to lead through risk. Developed specifically for NFP executives and board members, this program will equip you with the tools and skills to safeguard your organisation’s mission while navigating complex contemporary risks.
The Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM)
The Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) is the leading global centre for strategic risk and crisis management. Bringing together practitioners, academics, and policymakers from around the world, we foster collaboration, share knowledge and drive innovation in the understanding and application of strategic risk.
Through our global network, we support the development of professional capabilities, strengthen resilience and shape the future of risk management.
Our partnership delivers tailored programs for the not-for-profit sector, transforming risk awareness into practical leadership capability: equipping you to anticipate, navigate, and thrive through complex strategic challenges.
Program Overview
Not-for-profit leaders face increasing uncertainty: economic shifts, cyber threats, regulatory changes, and rising community expectations. Strategic risks can determine whether your organisation achieves its mission or falls short.
This one-day interactive workshop, designed specifically for the NFP sector, will help you develop the confidence and tools to identify,
assess, and respond to risks that impact your long term goals and sustainability.
Through a blend of expert-led sessions, a simulated group exercise, and peer discussion, you’ll explore frameworks and strategies that embed risk thinking into governance and decision-making. On completion, you’ll leave with a tailored presentation template to brief your board or executive team on your organisation’s risk strategy and forward recommendations.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
- Understand the principles of strategic risk management in the NFP context.
- Use tools such as PESTLE, SWOT, and scenario analysis to identify risks.
- Apply assessment techniques to evaluate risk probability, impact, and potential responses.
- Develop practical risk responses aligned with mission and stakeholder trust.
- Strengthen governance and embed a risk-aware culture within your organisation.
- Improve monitoring and reporting using dashboards and real-time data.
