What is the Modern Risk Appetite Frameworks course about?

In multi-site environments, inconsistent interpretation of risk appetite leads to either overcautious behavior that stalls innovation or unchecked exposure due to ambiguous boundaries. Teams operate in silos, regulators raise concerns, and leadership lacks a unified view, making strategic decisions reactive instead of proactive.
