Intro to ERM for Senior Leaders
Virtual Workshop
In today's rapidly evolving and increasingly complex business landscape, business area leaders and executive management face unprecedented challenges including emerging technologies like generative AI, heightened regulatory scrutiny, cyber threats, and the need to innovate while managing potential downsides. In this dynamic environment, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is no longer a peripheral function but a strategic imperative for ensuring organizational resilience and achieving strategic goals.
This workshop emphasizes that ERM is strategically crucial for organizations to manage all risks, including both potential gains and losses, enabling leaders to build a culture that mitigates threats and actively pursues opportunities. The training highlights the pivotal role of organizational culture and the necessity of a forward-looking approach to emerging risks, while also providing insights into risk governance structures and clarifying responsibilities. By covering key ERM framework elements and using case studies, the workshop aims to enhance your ability to make informed, strategic decisions.
