A Partnership Program by ISRM and AcademyGlobal
Elevate Strategic Resilience in the Public Sector
In an environment defined by heightened public scrutiny, rapid policy shifts, and growing systemic risks, senior public sector leaders must champion strategic foresight to uphold public value and institutional resilience. The Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) and AcademyGlobal proudly present this targeted one-day program, tailored for executives and senior managers across all levels of government. This intensive workshop equips participants with the strategic tools and insights needed to lead with confidence, manage uncertainty, and strengthen governance in the face of complex and evolving challenges.
For senior leaders across Commonwealth and State Government departments and agencies, navigating an increasingly complex and unpredictable landscape is a constant challenge. From geopolitical tensions and climate change to the disruptive pace of technological innovation and rising public scrutiny, strategic risks facing the public sector are significant. Now more than ever, effective public leadership requires advanced risk management capabilities to ensure public value, resilience, and accountability.
This course is offered in both intensive 1-day and comprehensive 2-day formats, designed for Executive Directors and senior leaders. It delivers high-impact learning through applied frameworks and relevant scenarios:
- Enhance Policy & Program Outcomes
- Strengthen Governance & Accountability
- Navigate Emerging Threats (cybersecurity, climate, AI)
- Optimise Resource Allocation
- Foster a Proactive Risk Culture
Each session incorporates real-world examples from the public sector, enabling immediate transfer of learning to your role.
This program delivers practical, actionable insights that directly support strategic goals. The return on investment includes improved policy outcomes, stronger compliance, and more resilient service delivery. With fiscal pressures mounting, the ability to make better decisions about risk and resource allocation represents a significant value proposition for government leaders.
Co-delivered by the Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) and AcademyGlobal, this program draws on deep expertise in strategic leadership, governance, and public sector capability building. Facilitators bring real-world experience and an understanding of the challenges and responsibilities faced by public executives at all levels.
