Technology transformation is driving rapid changes in the business and regulatory environment.

This will ensure proper implementation of agile, effective and efficient processes to comply with increasing regulations.

Using the COVID-19 scenario, participants are guided through developing and implementing a risk analysis of how the pandemic affects the organisation - what plans need to be drawn in order to mitigate the risk and how to make use of opportunities (even in the face of challenges) to reliably achieve objectives.

TOPICS COVERED

  • Opportunities, threats and requirements that impact objectives
  • Risk, Compliance and Performance management – foundation of GRC

I have taken 3 courses with SMU and trainers from Straits Interactive, so far, it has been very knowledgeable and engaging. I have been able to link the theory with practical and this gave me better understanding the right framework to put in practice when I return back to my organisation.

Coming from the compliance angle, the key takeaway is:- Those managing GRC in a company has to be taken as a business partner and an enabler in the business and not a barrier. None of us are not in silo, this GRC course (especially Principled Performance) ties all the departments together to reliably meet company’s objectives whilst addressing uncertainties and acting with integrity.

Previously, objectives were set and it was all over the place, now after taking this course, I have a good understanding and can help guide and perform planning of a more structured approach with Principled Performance to a successful outcome of an objective.

Understanding GRC, this gives us an overview of the real issues within an organisation and with the help of the Gracias system, we are more engaged with the reality of issues.

Participant at Course
Feb 2021

The SWOT Analysis that we have learnt and entered into the Gracias System gives a birds eye view of the ground staff’s pulse or sentiments and this is even better than a survey. Hence, we can prioritise to look into the most problematic areas or departments for any organisation.

Participant at Course
Feb 2021

The GRC Methodology, which I have learnt from this course, is very good, solid and powerful. We could see clearly and conceptualised total company’s efforts, right to the extent of prioritising our efforts to manage the highest risks and opportunities first.

Participant at Course

We should view GRC management as an enabler rather than a showstopper in any organisation.

A very interactive software called Gracia System that we have been using together with the theory, we can now have a macro-view of the organisation’s risks and opportunities. We can assess the risks and opportunities in detail and prioritise our action plans specifically and easily

Fun and good role play exercise using the software Gracia System, gave us a broader perspective to drill down into problem areas and the issues became more apparent

Participant at Course

Even though we have learnt a lot on SWOT analysis in school and heard about this at work too, which is an aspect of GRC but do not know how to put this together. After this course, I am looking forward to apply the principles of GRC at work, with a proper framework and understanding how it works

The role play activity during the course brought out the identification of the potential risks faced by companies for real life scenarios. The software that we used during the course, captures and defines the potential risks correctly. The SWOT analysis from the software can even help the HR Dept to survey and hear from the ground up
