Geopolitics, Power & Strategic Decision-Making
Navigating Global Uncertainty, Energy, and Economic Power
Programme Overview
In today’s world, geopolitical developments are no longer distant events—they are direct drivers of market volatility, strategic risk, and organisational performance.

The OEI Geopolitical Risk Lensâ„¢
A practical tool to convert geopolitical uncertainty into measurable, actionable risk.
The Executive Decision Loopâ„¢
A structured approach to decision-making in volatile and high-pressure environments.

Excellent course. Helped me connect all the dots in the digital value chain. I am returning confident and ready to lead digital transformation change in my organization
This was an excellent course that provided a great balance of theory and practical application. The instructor was highly knowledgeable and explained complex topics in a clear, engaging way, using real-world examples that made the material easy to understand.
The content was well structured, covering everything from oil market fundamentals and trading to hedging and risk management.
I came away with a much stronger understanding of energy markets and trading, and would highly recommend the course to anyone looking to develop their knowledge in the industry.
Absolutely fantastic training. It drains your mind but gives you widen perspective.
Great content of the course, very knowledgeable and pedagogical trainer. I truly enjoyed this course and can recommend it to anyone interested in understanding how energy trading and risk management work.
I recently completed the Advanced Energy Trading and Risk Management course and found it extremely valuable. The program delivered a strong balance of theory and hands-on application, covering energy markets, derivatives, hedging strategies, and real-world trading simulations.
The course dives into crude oil, LNG, market pricing, and risk frameworks like VaR and stress testing which significantly strengthened my understanding of how physical and financial energy markets interact. I left with greater confidence in building trading strategies, managing volatility, and applying risk management techniques in real trading environments.
I highly recommend this course to energy traders, risk managers, and finance professionals looking to sharpen their market and hedging expertise.
