Course Overview

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.
