We live in a hyper connected world where

the pace of change is relentless, imper-

manence is the norm and there is an ever

increasing problem of signal vs. noise.

Given that governments and companies

today are completely dependent on IT for

day-to-day operations, the cost of IT

breakdown is unimaginably high. Numer-

ous studies show that managers are sadly

unaware of the risks relating to the tech-

nologies they deploy in their organiza-

tions.

We, at KNOLSKAPE, have come up with an

innovative software simulation called IT

Risk Pro for addressing this vital issue. IT

Risk Pro is an intense, hands-on simula-

tion that sensitizes the participants to the

risks involved in the IT function of an or-

ganization. It also helps the participants

gain an understanding of how to manage

these risks.

narios, ranging from disasters in operational aspects of IT to major strategic misaligne-

ment with the business. The learner is evaluated based on how well he.she responds to

the events that unfold.

Through the use of IT Risk Pro, the participant learns how to :

Prioritize risks

Appreciate the need to get senior management buy-in for IT risk management

Develop the ability to look at the IT function in a holistic light by wearing both the

strategic as well as the tactical hats
