the necessary business acumen to guarantee the success of the organization’s security plan.

Overview

Key topics include:

  • Strategic Core Concepts: delivers necessary concepts and analytical tools to cultivate a “strategic mindset” that will allow for the creation of value and a competitive advantage.
  • The Application of Financial Information: presents the latest concepts in financial management and teaches how to make sounder business decisions, with a special emphasis on budgeting, valuation, and value creation.
  • Business Case Development: confronts specific issues and concerns in peer groups to evaluate how to build a business case for security initiatives in order to secure funding and acceptance.
  • Leadership Skills and Influence: examines more effective leadership in a non-hierarchical environment and across functional boundaries by identifying elements of leadership and analyzes where the biggest impact can be made.
  • Leadership: offers perspective on the impact of constant changes in the environment on the individual and the organization and explores key parameters and tools to assess and manage change. Identifies change mindsets and resistance barriers.
  • Corporate Governance and Ethics: explores inherent tradeoffs and tensions managers face as they work to deal with corporate governance issues, ethics, and compliance.
  • You’re the New CSO…A case study: the IE Business School program will conclude with a case study centered on concepts, strategies, and scenarios presented throughout the four-day program. You’ll be asked to assume the role of a newly hired CSO. Your first task will be to formally evaluate the enterprise-wide security efforts of an organization. Should the security function be centrally managed? Why haven’t past security initiatives been successful? You and other class participants will be challenged to work together to resolve these and other issues impacting the security function within an organization by applying the knowledge and tools you’ve acquired.
