Adaptive Strategies for Managing Long-Term Risk

11/11/2026 - 11/11/2026

Many strategic and operational challenges are not one-off decisions but unfold over time with uncertain outcomes. Organisations in healthcare, logistics, finance, and government need tools to manage dynamic risk, evaluate long-term policies, and adapt as new information emerges. This course introduces Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) and Multi-Armed Bandits (MABs): two powerful methods for balancing short-term outcomes with long-term strategy. Participants will learn how to model sequential choices, quantify the value of different policies, and design adaptive strategies that respond effectively to uncertainty.
