Analytical And Risk Management Training
Keep track of the biggest risks to your company.
Our comprehensive analytical and risk management training programmes have been created by our own analysts. The programmes assist clients in the use of analytical best practice to assess risks and communicate them effectively to key stakeholders, to enable better-informed decision making.
The problem
Political risk is of growing concern to organisations around the world. As the operating environment becomes more unstable, regulatory volatility increases, and security threats emerge from new vectors, assessing and preparing for politically-driven challenges have become crucial for both public and private sector decision-makers.
Few analysts in organisations are properly trained in the unique skillset required to deal with political risk. A sovereign risk analyst may be hired for their mathematical skills at tracking bond movements – and then be assigned to predict whether a country will have a coup. A security analyst is trained at sifting through counter-terror raw intel on a 24-hour cycle – and then is assigned to build scenarios out to 2040.
The solution
Drawing on academic literature, lessons from the intelligence community, business case studies, and Oxford Analytica’s nearly 50 years of experience, this course focuses on the crucial tasks of political risk, such as:
- How do I manage high levels of uncertainty in information sources?
- How do I make actionable recommendations to decision-makers when the true answer may be unknowable?
- What are the biggest and most uncertain challenges facing my organisation?
Our analytical training programme is fully customisable to your needs, by shortening or extending modules, or by selecting one or several of the modules for your bespoke training.
The curricula
Our training curricula are built as a series of modules, which can be selected to fit each organisation’s needs and schedule. Each module contains a variety of group exercises to encourage attendees to use their own knowledge and work with their peers to overcome challenges. Modules include:
- Principles of analysis: The building blocks of the analytical process, crucial for anyone who deals with situations of high uncertainty.
- Political risk analysis in practice: Essential how-to’s for the essence of bringing political risk into a workflow
- Quantifying political risk: Converting qualitative information into hard numbers
- Communicating political risk: Presenting analysis efficiently and effectively to engage with relevant decision makers
- Managing subject-matter experts: Extracting knowledge without bias
- Building an analytical team: Blending specialists and generalists to make a whole greater than the sum of its parts
- Alternative forecasting: Innovative ways to see what’s coming
- Event monitoring: Creating a system to stay on top of volatile situations
