Being overruled on risk trade-offs in customer operations
The situation this course is for
Customer care leaders often present data and recommendations, only to have risk decisions made in siloed risk committees without full context of frontline realities. This leads to policies that are out of sync with customer impact and operational feasibility.
Who this is for
Senior customer experience and service operations leaders in regulated, high-volume service environments, responsible for strategic direction and cross-functional influence.
Who this is not for
Individual contributors, junior managers, or specialists focused only on call center metrics without strategic input.
What you walk away with
- Lead risk conversations with confidence using ISO 31000 as a shared language
- Shape vendor selection criteria with documented risk evaluation frameworks
- Anticipate and influence strategic decisions before escalation cycles begin
- Build repeatable risk briefing templates adopted by peer teams
