Surveys show that Boards have less than 50% confidence in their risk oversight arrangements!
This exclusive roundtable will dive deep into current challenges in risk governance, focusing on actionable strategies to empower Boards and executive teams. Attendees will also gain valuable insights into aligning risk frameworks with organizational objectives, leveraging innovation, and ensuring comprehensive oversight at every level.
Risk Governance Challenges:
- How effectively does the Board define and communicate the organization’s mission and vision?
- Are strategic priorities well understood and seamlessly integrated across departments?
- Are near-term operational targets clearly shared and consistently reviewed?
- Is accountability for pivotal goals embraced by leadership and management?
- How is AI utilized to address vulnerabilities and capitalize on opportunities?
- Does the primary level of management (Line 1) align its analysis and reporting with strategic initiatives?
In today’s fast-moving and interconnected landscape, Boards and their executive teams cannot rely solely on retrospective data from periodic reports. They need to stay proactive and consistently ahead of the curve!
