Bulletproofing your Business Strategy
When organisations chase new opportunities to grow and expand, some degree of risk is inevitable. As Yvan Byeajee, famous trader and investor, put it: “Risk and opportunity are two sides of the same coin”.
While it’s not possible to anticipate and overcome every possible risk, there are measures that can be taken to lower the degree of risk involved with a new strategy. By considering risks and how to mitigate them during the strategy formulation process, the chances that the strategy will prove successful in the long term can be increased.
If you’re a finance professional involved in formulating strategy or providing financial insights and advice to those who do, then this course is for you! We’ll cover how to identify and manage the risks likely to impact an organisation’s business strategy.
