"As we have a deep commitment to serving both developed and developing markets, Christopher’s accomplishment as the first in Zimbabwe is emblematic of the mission we seek to fulfill."

The Certificate in Risk Governance^® is awarded to those who have completed The Board Members' Course on Risk^® - an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards. Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.
