Strategic Intelligence for Senior Executives

Strategic Intelligence for Senior Executives is a new one-day, in-person leadership course brought to you by Emergent Risk International and King’s College London’s Department of War Studies.

Designed to meet the growing demand for strategic foresight and intelligence in business, this course equips senior leaders with the practical skills to navigate geopolitical complexity, manage risk, integrate intelligence into decision-making, position intelligence as a strategic business function and influence decision-making at board-level. Participants will leave with actionable insights, a strategic mindset, and a network of peers facing similar global challenges. Chief Security Officers and intelligence heads are encouraged to attend with C-suite executives to foster stronger collaboration.

Intelligence and Security leaders from the public, private and academic domains will lead this course, designed to engage senior executives with direct responsibility for or oversight over corporate intelligence functions, including global intelligence, corporate security, crisis management, strategy, risk management, compliance, treasury and government affairs teams. It’s also relevant for government intelligence professionals looking to transition into the private sector.

The external complexities facing companies are changing rapidly and executives are increasingly asked to understand and formulate strategies for managing risks that span several traditionally distinct spheres: economics, financial markets, geopolitics, security (physical and cyber), supply chains, regulation and compliance. In most cases, these spheres are highly interdependent and require intelligence that is by definition multidisciplinary. The global pandemic, supply chain crisis, and war in Ukraine with its associated sanctions and impacts on energy markets and economic growth, have all demonstrated that businesses need to build new types of resilience, anchored in good intelligence. Building and managing intelligence functions that can provide timely and actionable intelligence on the issues that will impact business success, is therefore becoming a priority.

Format: One-day in-person leadership course with networking breakfast, lunch, and evening drinks included.
