12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Spending every Monday fixing broken risk dashboards instead of analyzing what’s next

The situation this course is for

You're responsible for delivering accurate, timely risk summaries to leadership, yet every week, the same thing happens: source files change format, formulas break, or stakeholders request last-minute updates that force a full rebuild. This isn’t just tedious; it erodes trust in your output and eats into time you should be spending on analysis, not formatting. The tools exist to automate this, but no one has shown you how to implement them in a regulated, audit-ready way that fits your workflow. You end up rework instead of advancing.

Who this is for

A senior risk or compliance professional in asset management or wealth services who owns recurring reporting, manages stakeholder expectations, and operates under audit and regulatory scrutiny. They are technically fluent but not a developer, and they need solutions that are both robust and simple to maintain.

Who this is not for

This is not for junior analysts building their first dashboard, data scientists writing Python scripts, or executives who delegate all reporting. It’s for hands-on leaders who are tired of being chained to spreadsheets.

What you walk away with

  • A fully documented, reusable dashboard automation framework tailored to your reporting cycle
  • Elimination of manual data re-entry across your core risk reports
  • Reliable formatting and calculation logic that survives source file changes
  • Stakeholder-ready outputs generated in under 30 minutes, not 3 hours
  • Audit-compliant documentation that proves data lineage and control
