Programme Overview

The traditional approaches to coordinating risk and assurance were once useful, but times have changed. Risk management is not just confined to tabletop exercises but clearly the need to articulate how it aligns to the company’s bigger purpose. This has brought upon increased discussions and decisions around the intersection of strategy, risk and opportunities.

There is a call for an incremental expansion of board risk- oversight and accountability. Well institutionalised board structures, committee specialisation/board composition is essential in overseeing a broadening risk agenda, as well as the implementation of a forward-looking risk assessment, shifting the lenses to be more future-focused, especially in the areas of sustainability and digital enablement.

This thinking of the approach to risk governance will hopefully strengthen organisations’ resilience ahead of whatever the next shockwave may be – from having to deal with extraordinary and emerging risks to repurposing them into opportunities for business growth.
