The Leadership Course in Strategic Anticipation and Crisis Management

The global security landscape is increasingly volatile, complex, and unpredictable. Nigeria, in particular, is facing multi-dimensional crises—including insurgency, banditry, economic instability, climate change, and natural disasters—that demand a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive strategic anticipation. In today’s rapidly evolving global environment, the ability to anticipate and respond to crises is more critical than ever.

The Leadership Course in Strategic Anticipation and Crisis Management (LCSACM) offers an unparalleled opportunity for senior leaders to enhance their strategic foresight capabilities and develop resilient, future-ready strategies.

By participating in this program, stakeholders will not only be better prepared to navigate uncertainties but will also contribute to shaping a more stable and sustainable future for Nigeria and beyond.
It is against this backdrop that the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) and the Peace Building Development Consult (PBDC) have developed this Leadership Course in Strategic Anticipation and Crisis Management (LCSACM).

The three-day intensive program is designed to equip senior decision-makers with advanced methodologies to identify emerging threats, leverage strategic foresight, and build resilient frameworks for national security and sustainable development
