IT STARTER GUIDE
USERNAME & PASSWORDS
While studying at Henley Business School, your two main portals are Risis (adminstrative registration) and Canvas (Virtual Learning Environment). Please obtain your (one) username and password for accessing these crucial portals.
Furthermore, you will have access to Office 365 with this username and password.
Finally, you will get a Henley e-mail address, to which all formal information will be sent. By forwarding this to your normal e-mail address, you ensure that you are always kept up to date with important information.

Please note: If you have another Microsoft 365 account, you may have to sign out of that first. Alternatively, you can go to the site in a private browsing session. Some companies also restrict employees to log into other O365 tenants so this may not work on a company device.

STRENGTHSCOPE INSTRUCTION
As part of the Career, Leadership & Professional Development element of your Executive MBA (Global) programme, we will be using a tool called Strengthscope.
Strengthscope is the worlds’ most comprehensive and innovative cloud-based strengths profiling system that helps energise peak performance at work. It measures work-related strengths and helps people discover and optimise their strengths to perform at their best (to peak perform) and engage with their work.
You will be working with your individual Strengthscope profile during workshop 1, The Henley MBA Starter Workshop – Leadership Challenges in a Global World, and as such we would ask you to complete your online assessment as soon as possible prior to the workshop.
Once you have registered, you can complete your profile straight away, provided you don’t log out of the system. Please see details below of how to complete your registration to access the online assessment system:
