Risk and Crisis Management Knowledge Hub

Our vision is to become a pioneering center for applied risk management and governance, blending cutting-edge research with the latest practical trends to deliver innovative solutions and insights.

The Knowledge Hub serves multiple goals. While advancing risk management research as a knowledge center, we also strive to bridge the gap between academic insights and practical application by providing cutting-edge knowledge to risk and crisis management professionals, managers, and practitioners across industries who seek to advance their understanding on the subject.

We aim to inspire the next generation to pursue careers in risk management by sharing knowledge and developing accessible educational resources. 

Finally, we offer consulting services in risk management, business continuity, and strategic risk to support companies in navigating complex challenges.

Key points of interest

  • Risk Management for Emerging Technologies

    We look at how companies can use newest technologies, while staying in control. AI is a good example - not using it is not an option, but using it requires new approaches. We will publish a series of white papers to sheed some light on this topic. 

  • Risk Management and Diversity

    Are women managers more risk-avoidant than men managers? Does hiring more female board members help reduce board risk taking? We are looking at these topics from an academic perspective, and will publish our results soon. Check this space and our LinkedIn page. 

  • Crisis Management and Communication

    We hope it all goes well... until it doesn't. And when it doesn't, handling a crisis situation can make or break a business. We research crisis management and communication and develop solutions for companies, which would enable them to be more effective in crises.
