The executive challenge

The problem this program solves

The institution has policies for enterprise risk — and no rehearsed response. When it happens, the first two hours will be improvised by whoever answers the phone. Boards are no longer asked whether risk was managed; they are asked what they knew and when — and the register is not a defence. This is where enterprise risk stops being a compliance artefact and becomes an executive discipline your board will recognise as one.

Context

Why this matters now

Supervisors now test enterprise risk resilience, not policies: impact tolerances, recovery capability and incident readiness.
Cyber adversaries now target African institutions at industrial scale — enterprise risk events are operating costs, not exotic risks.
Boards are personally accountable for enterprise risk oversight in ways regulation has only recently made explicit.

Capability

What you will be able to do

  • Design a enterprise risk risk architecture that anticipates rather than documents.
  • Build enterprise risk resilience: continuity, recovery and the capacity to absorb shocks.
  • Price enterprise risk risk into strategy, capital and operating decisions.
  • Report enterprise risk to the board in a way that informs decisions rather than reassures them.

The IPAT Course Standard

The five-day journey

Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.

IPAT Signature Case™

Friday, 21:40

A a national health insurer is hit by a ransomware event with enterprise risk systems only partially segmented. The attackers threaten to release customer data; the board wants service restored, the regulator wants answers, and the media already has a source.

Your decision: In the first two hours: payment posture, restoration sequence, disclosure — and who commands the enterprise risk response.

Incident timeline and containment mapRecovery time estimates by systemLegal notification obligations

IPAT Data Lab™

The enterprise risk incidents at a national health insurer are individually small and collectively serious — and no one has connected them.

Dataset: Synthetic multi-year incident, near-miss and control data for a national health insurer.

Your task: Build the heat map, test the tolerances, and write the 4 a.m. command card for the top exposure.

A enterprise risk heat map, impact tolerances and an incident command card.

Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
