This highly interactive, face-to-face 5-day workshop is designed to build directly on the LSE Risk and Crisis Management programme delivered via edX Executive Education. The edX course gives you the frameworks and interdisciplinary grounding; this workshop is the “apply it to your world” layer—turning weekly concepts into decisions, routines, and artefacts you can take back to your organisation.
Wo
Clarify boundaries, handoffs, and triggers so prevention and response don’t sit in silos.
Connect governance, assessment, and response cadence into one repeatable management rhythm.
Diagnose breakdowns in escalation, decision-making, and coordination across complex stakeholder systems.
Build plausible narratives and define response objectives, roles, and measures of “effective”.
Create reinforcement routines that normalise readiness behaviours across leadership and frontline teams.
Define who decides what, when, and how—before an incident forces ambiguity.
Convert assessment outputs into mitigation choices, triggers, and resource allocation conversations.
Analyze risks within, between, and external to organizations to expose dependencies and weak links.
Define indicators, thresholds, and review cadence aligned to leadership decision cycles.
Evaluate control effectiveness, assumptions, and failure points without false precision.
Establish crisis team structure, operating tempo, and cross-functional working methods.
Practice messaging that maintains credibility while facts evolve and uncertainty remains.
