Our MBI CONIAS Academy qualifies risk analysts and managers to deal with political risks. Participants learn to identify and assess risks and to develop appropriate countermeasures in order to reduce or completely avoid risks. After completing our seminar, participants will be able to use their specific knowledge to create transparency for their company and mitigate risks along the entire supply chain.
