    Synopsis and overview of the session

    For companies to grow quickly but sustainably, it’s inherent that they balance risk and reward in every strategic decision they make. The board of directors should take an active role in setting a framework for evaluating and managing risk, but too often, a long-term view of risk management gets deprioritized to address immediate needs. An EY survey reveals that 84% of boards do not believe their organisations have a highly effective risk management strategy.

    Focus Network, in partnership with Diligent, will bring executives together to discuss:

    • The link between corporate purpose and risk
    • How IRM helps boards provide actionable risk oversight
    • How mapping your ESG policy against key risks, allows the board to assist your organisation in navigating evolving threats while remaining committed to meeting corporate goals
    • Adopting technology that provides an integrated view of an organisations risk, boards will get a better insight into Key Risk Indicators (KRIs)
