The 0-credit Risk Advisory Talent Cultivation Program jointly organized by the College of Management at National Sun Yat-sen University and Deloitte's Risk Advisory Department successfully concluded on March 24th. The successful implementation of this talent development program not only demonstrates a fruitful collaboration between the College of Management at National Sun Yat-sen University and Deloitte's Risk Advisory Department, but also serves as an affirmation for students who were willing to participate in the 0-credit training course. We also awarded completion certificates to the participating students, encouraging them to make good use of the college's resources to enrich themselves in their future careers, and make greater contributions to the development of the risk management field.

The curriculum covered various fields in risk management in the current era of technology, including technological applications in the big data era, digital transformation, entering the world of climate change and sustainable development, information security risk management board game, and auditing professions. The program aimed to cultivate future risk management talents through theoretical learning and practical training. It also sought to enrich students' understanding of the workplace and industry, understanding different corporate cultures to enhance their competitiveness and broaden their horizons.

The program lasted from February 24th to March 24th, 2022, and nearly 40 students participated in the internal selection process, with 20 outstanding students ultimately participating in the training. During the program, participants gained a deep understanding of the latest trends and developments in risk management in the current era of technology, mastering advanced skills and knowledge, and enhancing their competitiveness in the workplace.

Vice President Craig Yang delivered the opening lecture to the students, titled "Consultant Traits and Career Development: How to Master Massive Data in the Age of Big Data - Technological Applications in the Big Data Era." He emphasized the importance of data and stories in decision-making and the critical role of risk advisory consulting in a business environment. He mentioned Deloitte's Digital Transformation Team and Shin Kong Life's "Life Design Institute LIFE Lab," using educational games to raise social awareness and understanding of insurance planning. In addition, he shared the work and life of consultants, including extensive data processing, precise analysis and evaluation, communication with clients, and finding business opportunities to build connections. Consultants need to be familiar with various industries, the latest regulations, and laws to develop appropriate risk management strategies. "A story without numbers and numbers without a story are both meaningless," said Craig Yang, symbolizing the crucial role of data interpretation in helping businesses solve problems and creating value in the big data era.

The theme of entering the world of climate change and sustainable development was prepared by Deputy General Manager Erica Y. Hsu. In this sharing session, he provided students with solid background knowledge on sustainable management, carbon reduction, CSR to ESG, and climate change governance in various countries. He then explored different case perspectives, such as climate anomalies occurring around the world like wildfires in Argentina and snowstorms in Texas; the future consequences of not reducing carbon emissions as proposed by the World Economic Forum, leading to rising sea levels and uninhabitable areas; the views and countermeasures provided by international organizations such as the United Nations regarding global warming trends; and the impact of the European Union's proposed carbon tax on businesses and consumers. After introducing these topics, we gained a deeper understanding of how domestic regulatory authorities will formulate regulations in the future, covering areas such as sustainability reporting, carbon inventory and verification, corporate stability, and ESG risk and performance. The interactive lecture showed how consultants are able to create a sustainable environment.

The Information Security Incident Response Board Game on Digital Technology Risk Management, brought by industry expert Neng-da You, allowed students to experience how consultants overcome challenges when enterprises face information security crises. In the card exercise, 20 students were divided into two teams, each consisting of a convener, project management group, information security monitoring group, operational continuity group, and public relations group. The host announced that the case company had encountered a social engineering-type cyberattack. In response, the teams had to demonstrate teamwork, perform their duties, and follow the crisis management procedures of a professional consultant led CSIRT in real-life situations. Whether encountering unexpected events or emergency situations, the teams had to rely on their understanding and rational discussions to overcome obstacles, eliminate threats, and perform the system restore. Through this activity, students gained a profound understanding of the vital role management consultants play in today's increasingly challenging information security environment.
