Executive MBA Students Explore Risk Management at the Annual Study Trip in Thessaloniki
An insightful workshop by Mr Athanasios Fourtounas As part of the Annual Study Trip in Thessaloniki, Executive MBA students from across all programme locations participated in an insightful workshop on "Risk Management: A Way to Avoid Crisis Management and Manage Losses", led by Mr. Athanasios Fourtounas, Assistant Professor at our Business Department. During the workshop, participants gained hands-on experience with Risk Management processes through a detailed and realistic project scenario. The session guided them through the essential steps of effective risk assessment and mitigation, ensuring they could apply these principles in real-world business settings. The workshop began with an analysis of the Project Charter, where participants familiarised themselves with the project’s scope and objectives. They were then divided into teams to identify key stakeholders and assess their potential impact on the project. With this foundation in place, participants moved on to developing a Risk Management Plan, followed by an in-depth identification of potential opportunities and threats. Using specialised Risk Management templates, they documented and debated the nature of each risk before proceeding to the qualitative analysis stage, where they prioritized risks based on their likelihood and impact. Finally, participants formulated risk response strategies and discussed monitoring techniques to effectively track and manage risks throughout the project’s execution. Through this structured, hands-on approach, participants not only deepened their understanding of risk assessment and crisis prevention but also enhanced their strategic decision-making skills. By the end of the session, the enthusiastic discussions and smiling faces were clear signs that the workshop had successfully met its objectives—knowledge was gained, and valuable skills were acquired!

Distinguished speakers from of the Bank of Valetta share insights on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) with our business students
Students from the Business Administration and Economics Department had the opportunity to attend an insightful presentation by representatives from the Bank of Valetta who explored the critical topics of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Our distinguished speakers, including Stefan Abela from the Bank of Valletta, Dr. Tania Camilleri from Learning & Development, and Micki Mifsud Western from Customer Experience, provided invaluable insights into how inclusivity is shaping the future of business. The discussion highlighted that EDI is no longer just a buzzword, but a business imperative. Companies that embrace diversity drive innovation, employee satisfaction, and long-term success. However, true inclusion requires more than just policies—it demands ongoing commitment and measurable actions. Today's consumers expect brands to reflect and respect diverse communities, and modern businesses that prioritize EDI and CSR not only contribute positively to society but also enhance their overall performance. A special thank you to Dr. Fenia Mavrodi, Academic Director of the Business Administration & Economics Department, for organizing this impactful event. Her dedication to bringing such important conversations to our community has made a lasting impression. Students played a pivotal role in making the event a success, actively engaging with the speakers, asking thought-provoking questions, and contributing to a dynamic and inspiring dialogue. Their enthusiasm demonstrated a strong commitment to pushing for change and advocating for inclusive business practices. We look forward to keeping the conversation going and continuing to drive meaningful change within the business world. The full event is available on YouTube
