About the Course

GenAI-Facilitated Strategic Risk Management in Higher Education provides a modern, AI-enabled approach to understanding and managing the complex risks facing universities today. As AI reshapes teaching, research, workforce structures, and governance, institutions must develop more agile, intelligence-driven methods for identifying vulnerabilities and preparing for disruption. This course equips leaders and professional services teams with the frameworks and tools to integrate Generative AI into risk detection, environmental scanning, scenario modelling, contingency planning, and resilience strategy. You will explore how AI supports early warning systems, dynamic risk registers, real-time dashboards, and simulations capable of stress-testing institutional plans and revealing blind spots. You will also examine the ethical, regulatory, and governance implications of AI-assisted risk work—ensuring that oversight structures, transparency measures, and accountability frameworks evolve alongside technological capability. Practical case studies and AI-supported templates help you design resilient strategies, engage stakeholders, and embed risk-aware thinking into institutional culture. By the end of the course, you will be able to leverage GenAI to strengthen strategic insight, enhance preparedness, support crisis response, and build long-term institutional resilience grounded in ethical, data-informed practice.
