Member priorities we're working on
Based on specific member priorities, our engagement managers provide targeted support through bespoke collaboration opportunities. Below are a few examples of the challenges members are solving through the network.
Project delivery risk thresholds:
We’re connecting a member with peers to help them understand how other organisations are balancing project-specific consequences of risks with impacts on the broader group.
Enhancing the BCM framework:
We’re supporting a member as they develop a business continuity management framework and train their team, facilitating collaborations with other organisations who have set up a similar framework.
Developing forward-looking KRIs:
We’re helping a member with their project to develop a more dynamic and proactive suite of key risk indicators, sharing examples from other organisations and facilitating conversations around this topic.
Revamping the ERM standard:
We’re working with a member to enhance foundational elements of their risk standard, connecting them with peers to validate their approach and gather insights into how others have built out these elements.
Reducing and merging strategic risks:
We’re helping a risk team at a large mining company to navigate an overhaul of the strategic risk management process, requested by their board. We are conducting of pulse check of similar organisations to find out how they are approaching their strategic risks.
Financial resilience playbooks:
We’re facilitating collaborations for a member around the topic of financial resilience, so they can compare approaches with peers and develop a plan to deal with economic shocks.
Launching a risk engagement and training campaign:
We’re helping a member to build stronger awareness and capability around risk management by highlighting specific approaches and materials other organisations are using to make risk more practical, visible, and approachable.
Travel risk management framework
We’re supporting a member as they go through the policy development stage for a travel risk management framework, connecting them with other risk leaders to compare the content and communication of travel risk management frameworks at different organisations.
Crisis and incident exercise education:
We’re helping a member as they plan to formalise a consistent process for implementing and tracking post-incident reviews and enhancements, facilitating connections to other risk leaders who have been on a similar journey.
Setting up executive-level audit and risk committees:
We’re supporting a member that is currently looking at the structure of its governance committees, by facilitating discussions with peers to discover how they have established executive-level ARCs and the terms of reference used for these.
Integration of technology systems:
We’re setting up one-to-one, targeted discussions for a member that has just acquired a large company and will require a significant integration of IT systems.
Deploying compliant internal controls
We’re helping a large organisation develop internal controls to meet requirements across a variety of jurisdictions, facilitating collaboration with compliance-focused resources from other companies.
Clarifying roles between risk and business continuity
We’re connecting a risk leader to peers who have comprehensively defined the responsibilities of risk and business continuity teams, i.e., to avoid duplication of efforts and improve coordination.
Bringing more creativity into risk communications
We’re facilitating collaborations for a member to explore how peers have injected creativity into risk management, ensuring that key concepts and risk roles are easy to absorb for business functions.
AI and risk appetite
We’re supporting a risk leader as they incorporate AI into their risk appetite framework, setting up collaborations so that they can discuss how to approach this challenge with other likeminded members.
Recent and upcoming meeting highlights
Our network meetings regularly bring groups together to share practical experiences and brainstorm new ideas, while bespoke meetings connect very small groups to focus on a specific issue or challenge.
