ISMA-Kellogg Course: Understanding Security as a Business Asset

ISMA-Kellogg Program: Understanding Security as a Business Asset

September 27-30, 2020
Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University
Evanston, IL U.S.A

This new course is geared toward senior security executives and managers, who will benefit from:

learning to be a better partner to other business leaders
learning to think strategically on how best to lead a security function that supports business objectives
understanding the importance of interfacing with other functional areas in order to:
- think like a business leader
- deliver business impact
- drive or engage in strategic conversations
- develop effective intra- and inter- organizational networks

Participants will learn to:

recognize the security function as one part of the enterprise-level risk management unit within the organization
understand how core business functions identify and create value
recognize security as a core risk-management and business enabling function
speak the “language of the business” and ask the right questions
articulate security’s value to the business
influence and gain buy-in from stakeholders

The ISMA-Kellogg partnership began in 2008 and has since served more than 600 attendees. The ISMA-Kellogg partnership currently offers two courses for senior security executives and their staff:

ISMA-Kellogg Program: Understanding Security as a Business Asset
ISMA-Kellogg Senior Executive Program: Leading Through Crises

Both courses offer CSOs and their senior management teams an opportunity to develop business acumen in order to better integrate security into the business and position security as a thought leader and trusted partner. The curriculum in these two courses complements each other; the C-Suite course builds upon the Strategic Leadership course. However, participants make take the courses in whichever order they choose.
