  • Fostering the creation of a community of individuals with a wide ranging interest in leading in response to risk and uncertainty
  • Providing leadership development opportunities via online learning programs, events and forums
  • Providing coordination on the development of research related to risk leadership
  • Supporting degree programming in risk leadership and affiliated fields such as compliance, CSR/sustainability and governance, as well as insurance and actuarial science
  • Participating actively in a growing global network of risk leadership partners

At the Opus College of Business – the only internationally accredited business school providing risk-based education – we provide managerial professionals and students from around the globe with:

  • Technically trained and professionally equipped teaching-oriented faculty
  • An appreciation for the interconnectivity of risk-related fields of study and practice, such as risk management, strategic management, corporate compliance, corporate governance, sustainability and resilience, insurance and actuarial science and financial risk management
