CERTIFICATE IN GEOPOLITICAL ANALYSIS

FAU’s Certificate in Geopolitical Analysis provides business professionals with an understanding of Geopolitics as it relates to risk, opportunity and the business cycle. The program provides methods to assess the impact of geopolitical events on business continuity, supply chains and strategic planning, and tools to build and monitor geopolitical forecasts and scenarios to inform strategic decisions and contingency planning.

Participants taking this course will learn to do the following:

n Use the 7 Pillars of Geopolitics, which include politics, economics, security, geography, history, society, and technology, and better contextualize global events and understand their impact on business continuity. Areas of applicability include, but are not limited to, changing regulatory environments, trade patterns, supply chain disruptions, social instability and risks of conflict. n Build ground-up geopolitical assessments to enhance understanding of new markets or re-check assumptions about existing markets and supply nodes based on shifting political, social, economic or security dynamics. n Build geopolitical forecasts and scenarios that impact business continuity and opportunity, and learn how to establish a system to monitor for changes and mitigate paralysis from information volatility. n Apply tools from the intelligence analyst toolkit to assess information flows from outside and within organizations, and to enhance analysis of geopolitical events to highlight relevance for business operations, identify potential opportunity, and mitigate risk.

This course shed new light on how to conduct a professional, objective Geopolitical Analysis. New insights, tools and material were shared, which would be otherwise hard to come by and also helped stimulate a learning environment. The experience and skill set of the instructors was also outstanding.

Definitely one of the best development programs I’ve ever attended.
