The pandemic has focused minds. COVID-19 is not only a major risk event in itself – it is also an accelerator of risks that were already omnipresent: cybersecurity attacks, supply chain disruption, geopolitical tension and other external threats. Illustrating this, the EY Global Board Risk Survey 2021 shows that 83% of board members believe market disruptions have become increasingly impactful and 87% believe they have become increasingly frequent. But despite the criticality of risk management, many board members lack confidence in their organization’s capabilities. For example, just 18% believe that their organization’s disaster response and contingency planning is highly effective, and only 13% believe that their organization is highly effective at embedding risk and compliance activities (ICDMPulse, March 2022)
This programme aims to keep directors attuned to megatrends that may impact the outworking and discharge of responsibilities by risk committees. Such trends include interconnected global risks, culture-centric corporate governance, cybersecurity and the Environmental, Social and Governance agenda. Participants can translate the key trends identified and shape priorities that would allow them to take actionable measures in managing multifaceted risks within their respective organisations.
