GenAI in Business Strategy & Risk Management
ICAEW
Last updated October 8, 2026
GenAI in Business Strategy & Risk Management sits in ICAEW’s GenAI Accelerator Program and addresses long-range decisions rather than daily tasks. It works through competitive analysis, evaluating strategic options, and monitoring whether a chosen strategy is actually being executed, then moves to identifying, assessing and controlling risk. The applied thread is simulation: modeling scenarios such as a market shift or a supply chain disruption, testing investment and capital planning choices, and weighing an acquisition. The stated aim is bringing AI-derived insight into boardroom discussion by linking data to strategy. It is a paid course.
