About the course
The TU Delft Risk Management Summer Course is an annual elective course offered at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering. The two-week course gives participants the chance to learn from corporate and academic guest speakers, how to protect an organisation against a wide range of events (e.g., pandemics, floods, cyber-attacks, supply chain disruptions, and other risks), and achieve better Business Continuity.
Throughout the course, specific design thinking lenses are used and applied to risk management. Participants use methods like journey thinking and co-designing solutions. Next to this, the course looks at network perspectives when learning about risk management.
