Managing Operational Risk and Resilience Masterclass

Operational risk frameworks and resilience that regulators recognise — impact tolerances, service mapping, scenario testing and a culture that learns from incidents.

The programme

Operational risk now ranges from cyber, IT, outsourcing and data management to regulatory, financial-crime and conduct risk — and supervisors expect firms to prove resilience, not just report losses. Sound frameworks rest on strong governance and culture, a categorisation of causes, risks and impacts that everyone uses, and clear, measurable risk appetites. This masterclass addresses embedding a resilient culture in your organisation, the regulatory landscape of operational resilience, and building frameworks that work: front-to-back mapping of business services, setting impact tolerances, scenario testing for plausible disruptions, incident management that satisfies regulators, and business continuity that actually delivers resilience. Redundancy, agility and the ROI of mitigation strategies close the loop.

What you will do

Establish and implement an operational risk framework on strong governance, culture, categorisation and measurable risk appetite.
Map business services front to back and set impact tolerances you can evidence.
Design scenario testing for plausible disruptions, graded against operational resilience maturity models.
Run incident management that meets regulatory requirements, learning from incidents proactively rather than forensically.
Deliver resilience through effective business continuity management, with redundancy and agility approaches priced by the ROI of mitigation.
Embed a culture that considers resiliency, aligning operational incentives and organisational dynamics behind it.

Who attends

  • Heads of operational resilience and operational risk
  • Non-financial risk and compliance teams
  • Cyber and IT risk and resilience functions

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

How does this course define operational resilience?

As something firms must prove, not just report: front-to-back mapping of business services, impact tolerances you can evidence, scenario testing for plausible disruptions, incident management that satisfies regulators, and business continuity that actually delivers resilience. Supervisors now expect firms to demonstrate this, not merely record losses.

Which risk types fall within scope?

Operational risk in its modern breadth — cyber, IT, outsourcing and data management through to regulatory, financial-crime and conduct risk — resting on strong governance and culture, a shared categorisation of causes, risks and impacts, and clear, measurable risk appetites.

Who should attend, and how is it delivered?

Heads of operational resilience and operational risk, non-financial risk and compliance teams, and cyber and IT risk and resilience functions. BIZENIUS delivers the masterclass in English and French, with in-house editions tailored on request; sessions run on a rolling calendar and fees are provided on enquiry.
