Developing Asian Leaders for

Organizational Resilience
Asia is undergoing rapid and unprecedented economic and social growth.

While change brings opportunities for businesses and societies, it also brings into focus the intensifying impact
of existing disasters and unexpected risks.

To build prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable Asian businesses and societies, we must first create safer and
more resilient organizations and communities.

Building and strengthening disaster resilience requires a systematic, multi-dimensional, and collaborative
approach.

Risk prevention and risk reduction require capable leaders expertly trained in disaster risk and crisis
management — leaders who can adapt to dynamic conditions, lead diverse teams in complex situations, and
efficiently and effectively address pressing issues.

Executive Master in Disaster Risk and Crisis Management

The 18-month intensive, immersive, and practitioner-oriented Executive Master in Disaster Risk
and Crisis Management (EMDRCM) is a five-term, part-time graduate degree program. The program
equips students with the skills they need to build resilient Asian organizations and communities using
management and leadership principles, as well as good business practices.

Students will learn how to assess and analyze the disaster risk and crisis environment and operating
context, and develop coordinated and integrated approaches to address different types of disasters
and crises. They will also learn how to implement holistic and inclusive plans and programs, evidence-
based strategies and innovative solutions. Finally, they will acquire skills to lead and mobilize diverse
stakeholders and functions to achieve results.

The EMDRCM program is designed to align with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction
2015–2030, the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2015–2030, the Agenda for Humanity, and the Paris
2015 UN Climate Change Conference Agreement
