The DCRO Institute’s Post

Celebrating our 4th Anniversary As we mark the fourth anniversary of the DCRO Institute today, we are filled with gratitude and appreciation for the journey we’ve shared with you. Over the past four years, we have worked tirelessly as a peer collaboration among board members and C-suite executives to advance the positive governance of risk-taking around the world. We teach organizational leaders to embrace risk, rather than fear it. We seek to elevate under-represented groups to serve on boards. And we serve both developed and developing markets.   Your support and engagement has been instrumental in helping us achieve remarkable milestones. Today, we celebrate not just our achievements but also the incredible community that has grown around our shared purpose. Here are some markers we'd like to share with you:   * Our nearly 300 credential holders now serve on boards in over 60 countries * These credentialed leaders are found serving on six continents * 56% of our credential holders are women * Leaders enrolled in our programs come from 127 countries * Program enrollees come from 56 developing market economies * We have Affinity Partnerships with leading organizations on five continents * Our Qualified Risk Directors® are identified to serve on any board committee * Our Qualified Risk Experts™ bring technical expertise to board risk committees * More than 250 people from 50+ countries hold our Certificate in Risk Governance® * Certificate in Cyber Risk Governance® holders come from more than 25 countries * Nearly 90% of our program graduates have offered public endorsements of them * We developed a robust public library of over 30 white papers and publications * We've hosted over 35 Positive Case Study Sessions and Emerging Risk Briefings * Our Mastering the Age of Strategy Disruption™ masterclass was 3x oversubscribed * Over the past year, our LinkedIn company page followers have increased by > 60% * That's the fastest growth rate among ten leading governance organizations we admire As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to driving innovation, fostering collaboration, and delivering impactful programs that empower leaders worldwide.
