Description

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.
