Why You Should Attend

A Risk Management Program that Delivers Performance

Although there are a lot of attention and headlines about risk management and organizations are making investments in people and technology, surveys indicate that boards and top executives do not believe risk management is contributing to their organization’s success. 

 

In this two-day event, we will discuss why this is happening.  Why is risk management seen as a compliance activity or periodic review of a list of topics, rather than an essential element in achieving or surpassing objectives?  This is not about the use of risk models or best practices in conducting risk.  It’s about making a radical shift from a ‘tick-the-box’ activity to one that is perceived as essential and even a competitive advantage. 

 

Key Topics

  • What is Risk Management?
  • Understanding the major risk standards and frameworks
  • Appreciating the value of risk management
  • Risk appetite, tolerance, and criteria
  • World-Class risk management
