Crisis Management in Economics and Finance
Course Description

A comprehensive programme equipping professionals with frameworks, tools, and practical skills to navigate economic and financial crises effectively.

 

This intensive programme prepares professionals to anticipate, assess, contain, and recover from economic and financial crises. Grounded in real-world case studies from the Middle East and global markets, delegates build practical crisis management capabilities through spreadsheet-based financial modelling, stakeholder communication exercises, and a multi-day crisis simulation that culminates in a team-based recovery dashboard.

By the end of this training course, participants should be able to:

 

·  Build a crisis preparedness framework

·  Model financial stress scenarios in Excel

·  Develop stakeholder communication plans

·  Design recovery & restructuring strategies

·  Present a team crisis recovery dashboard

·         Finance managers & directors

·         Risk management professionals

·         Senior leaders & C-suite executives

·         Strategy & business continuity teams

·         Government & regulatory officials

Every programme is designed around three proven instructional frameworks, ensuring knowledge transfers from classroom to workplace.

 

TEA™ Delivery Framework: Our signature approach structures every module into three phases for maximum retention and practical application:

 

·         Theory: Core concepts & frameworks

·         Examples: Live demonstrations & case studies

·         Application: Hands-on exercises & practice

 

ADDIE Instructional Design: Analyse Design Develop Implement Evaluate

 

Systematic course design ensures content relevance, logical progression, and alignment with organisational learning objectives

 

Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model: L1 Reaction · L2 Learning · L3 Behaviour · L4 Results

 

Four-level evaluation measures participant satisfaction, knowledge gained, on-the-job application, and business outcomes.

 

Participants leave every session with skills they can apply immediately, not just theory they will forget
