Digital transformation is more than just adopting new technologies. One of its key roles is to support organisations to create and sustain their competitive advantage. We live in the era where accelerated digitalisation has become the norm and organisations are faced with the option of embracing this transformative force or be drowned in its wake. There is a need to accelerate learnings to adapt to these sweeping changes and many now believe that the transformation exercise should be led at board level. The ICDM Digital Series for Boards is curated to serve as a platform to build critical digital competencies and provide deeper understanding as to why boards should think differently and adopt a new mindset about digitalisation in the current pandemic era. Each hour-long session will see our speakers walk you through the 4 major focus areas that are important to assist boards and business leaders in their transformative decision making.

Programme Title: Cyberthreats: What Boards Should Know?

Programme Date: 2 Sep 2021, 10 am – 11 am

Facilitator – Ho Siew Kei Executive Director, Risk Advisory – Cyber Risk, Deloitte Malaysia

 

Programme description

The focus on cybersecurity should be crystal clear to the boards and leadership of today’s organisations. Cybersecurity attacks and data breaches seem to be in the headlines almost daily, and sobering statistics are everywhere. Data is valuable, operations can be held hostage, supply chains could be disrupted, legal fees could arise – cybersecurity incidents can lead to major but often difficult-to-quantify costs, loss of reputation and consumer trust issues.

In this session, we will discuss key cybersecurity matters that boards should focus on – looking into a model for cyber governance maturity, introduce and expand upon key principles for board governance of cyber risk, and identify some of the key questions that boards should pose to their management and cybersecurity units.

Learning Outcome

  • Recognise cyber governance maturity and identify your organisation’s current state
  • Describe the key principles for board governance of cyber risk to embed these principles with your own boardroom
  • Develop the ability to pose key questions to your management and cybersecurity units in exercising governance over your organisation’s cybersecurity

Programme Title: Data Privacy Comprehensibility & Trust

Programme Date: 1 Dec 2021, 10 am – 11 am

Facilitators

  • Ryan Lim – Founding Partner & Principal Consultant, QED Consulting, Singapore
  • Professor Ang Peng Hwa – Professor, Nanyang Technological University; Advisor, QED Consulting, Singapore

 

Programme description

Organisations today are collecting an increasing amount of consumer data to derive business value and impact and currently rely on Consumer Data Privacy Notices (CDPNs) to communicate and manage consumer expectations on how their data is collected, stored and used. As such, the role of these CDPNs is important – serving as an agreement between company and consumer and an instrument of establishing trust.

Yet, research has found that most CDPNs are too difficult to understand and takes too long to read. This results in a worrying trend of consumers lacking a good comprehension of CDPNs and the establishing of data trust between consumer and company being hampered – which can pose significant reputational, compliance and governance risks in an environment where data privacy is increasingly regulated.

This session aims to provide board directors and senior executives with an overview of the current state of CDPNs across key industries in Malaysia.  A market report will be presented to provide a sense of how well organisational CDPNs are currently performing against users’ expectations, and the key challenges most organisations face in this area. Practical tips will also be offered on how organisations can begin to better address data privacy and establish critical data trust with their users to facilitate business growth.

 

Learning outcome

  • Explain how CDPNs across key industries in Malaysia are performing against users’ expectations
  • Identify the key challenges most organisations face in this area
  • Describe practical tips on how your organisations can begin to better address data privacy and establish critical data trust to facilitate business growth.
