Overview

Operational risk has become one of the most critical threats to organisational success in an increasingly volatile and interconnected world. The Certified Operational Risk Officer (CORO) executive programme is designed specifically for senior professionals who need to anticipate, manage, and respond to operational disruptions—whether from cyber threats, regulatory shifts, third-party breakdowns, or unforeseen crises. Through interactive modules, participants will learn to design and implement a full Operational Risk Management (ORM) Framework, develop Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), conduct Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs), and integrate operational risk into broader enterprise strategy and governance.
