The DCRO Risk Governance Institute now offers “Mastering Gray Rhino® Governance” as part of the new suite of Strategic Specialization Certificates in Mastering the Age of Strategy Disruption®.
This program focuses on the Gray Rhino® concept and framework developed by Michele Wucker, QRD®, in her best-selling book. It also enhances the knowledge gained from the Board Members’ Course on Risk®.
If you have read The Gray Rhino, or if you hold the DCRO Institute’s Certificate in Risk Governance®, you know SOMETHING about gray rhinos, a challenge to take a fresh look at the obvious, high-impact risks and opportunities that get neglected more often than many of us realize.
This course takes you on a deeper dive into the concept and framework. Over five sessions, it allows you to apply Gray Rhino® Theory to a problem that your organization is facing – and hopefully, once you have successfully wrangled it, you will be able to use this approach for future gray rhinos.
Michele Wucker, QRD®, coined the term “gray rhino” as a call to decision makers to respond more effectively to obvious, probable, impactful risks. The metaphor has moved markets, shaped high-level financial policies and business strategies, and made headlines all around the world. Michele is the best-selling author of four books, including The Gray Rhino and the sequel You Are What You Risk. Formerly a think tank and media CEO, she is now a strategic advisor, risk educator, and Qualified Risk Director®.
The DCRO Institute issues the world’s most prestigious credentials in risk governance: the Qualified Risk Director® and Qualified Risk Expert™ designations, the Certificate in Risk Governance®, the Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance®, and our series of Strategic Specialization Certificates in Mastering the Age of Strategy Disruption®. Our credentials distinguish their holders by demonstrating a steadfast commitment to the positive governance of risk-taking® within their organizations.
