A Message from the Dean of Academics

“Every organisation is one shock away from a test of its leadership. This programme builds the risk governance to see danger early, the resilience to absorb it, and the command to lead people through the crisis when it comes.”

— Office of the Dean of Academics, Rusel School of Business & Technology, UK

A high-intensity weekend programme for leaders and teams — two six-hour sessions (with an optional third) spanning enterprise risk governance, organisational resilience and leadership under crisis. Available as an accredited certification or an executive masterclass.

What You Will Master

Five Core Capabilities

G

Govern

the risk — build enterprise risk governance, appetite and oversight.

A

Anticipate

the shock — identify emerging threats through horizon-scanning and scenarios.

F

Fortify

the enterprise — design operational resilience and business continuity.

L

Lead

the crisis — command, decide and communicate under acute pressure.

R

Recover

and learn — restore operations, protect reputation and build back stronger.

Curriculum

Programme Sessions

Two six-hour sessions across one weekend, each half masterclass and half applied clinic — building one continuous piece of work: a risk-and-resilience plan for a threat your organisation actually faces. An optional third session runs a live crisis simulation.

01 6 hrs

Enterprise Risk Governance & Resilience

Build ERM oversight, appetite and operational resilience around threats you actually face.

02 6 hrs

Crisis Leadership & Communication

Command, decide and communicate under acute pressure while protecting people and reputation.

03 6 hrs · Optional

Live Crisis Simulation & Team Response Systems

Optional extension: run a live crisis simulation and lock in a shared response system.

Two Ways to Engage

This programme is built for targeted upskilling. Run it for an individual, a leadership team, or a whole crisis cell — on a fixed calendar or stood up quickly when an emerging threat demands a sharper, more resilient way of leading.

What You Leave With

This is not a theory seminar. In a single weekend you leave with a real threat mapped, a resilience plan drafted, and a crisis playbook pressure-tested by peers — plus a reusable system you can activate the day a crisis hits.

How You Learn

Applied Clinics, Not Lectures

01

Pre-Session Preparation

A crisis case, a short briefing & a risk self-assessment arrive ahead of the weekend, framed by guiding questions.

02

Practitioner Masterclass

Risk and crisis-management practitioners teach the method, then show how it plays out in real incidents.

03

Applied Resilience Clinic

Half of every session is hands-on — you work a threat you actually face, with faculty and peer feedback.

04

Cohort Peer Review

Peers across roles and sectors stress-test each other’s risk maps, plans and crisis playbooks.

Assessment & Award

On the certification track, assessment is applied and cumulative — every component builds toward the same real threat, so nothing is busywork. The masterclass track is non-assessed and earns a certificate of completion.

On the certification track, score 50%+ overall and attend both core sessions to earn the RSBT–CPD Professional Certification. High-distinction recipients (80%+) are recommended for advanced standing into RSBT’s Executive Diploma pathways in leadership and strategy.
