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.
Developing and using operational risk registers
We’re supporting a member to build out their suite of operational risk registers by pooling insights and specific templates from other risk teams that have been through a similar process.
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.
Benchmarking risk assessment criteria
As a member prepares to present a plan for updating risk assessment criteria to executives, we’re helping them by sense checking how their criteria compares to those of other companies.
Effective business partnering across the organisation
We’re supporting a member as they work with the business to make risk management less of a compliance exercise and more of a decision-making tool, by connecting them with other organisations who have established a strong risk culture.
Effectively leveraging KRIs in reporting risk appetite
We’re connecting a member to other risk leaders with an approved risk appetite framework, to discuss how they are deploying and monitoring KRIs within their organisation.
Approaches to critical safety control testing
We’re helping a member as they conduct a review of their critical safety control testing and verification process, highlighting approaches that peers in their sector have implemented successfully.
Effective approaches to controls and attestation
We’re supporting a member as they continue their work, to adhere to the UK Corporate Governance Code (UKCGC), by facilitating collaborations between relevant peers on how they are preparing for Provision 29.
Education, training and awareness for all levels
We’re giving a member useful tools and knowledge from our network of risk leaders, so that they can uplift risk management capability across their organisation and unlock strategic advantages.
Developing guidance around emerging risk process:
We’re helping a member to validate their approach to building an emerging risk process, connecting them with other organisations to share knowledge on this topic.

Effective approaches to risk aggregation:
We’re working with a member that is interested in sharing insights with peers on risk aggregation, including methods of collecting and analysing risk data.
Managing TCFD reporting:
We’re helping a member to benchmark approaches to TCFD reporting with other organisations, including what information to feature in disclosures, and how to ensure consistency of data across reports.
Risk-based scenario planning for boards:
We’re facilitating collaborations for an organisation, so they can learn from other companies how to design and deliver effective, risk-based scenarios within resourcing constraints.
Quantifying non-financial risks:
We’re connecting a member with peers to help them understand how others are quantifying their non-financial risks, particularly where multiple different factors may be influencing the development of a risk.
Self-declaration process for C-suite executives
We’re guiding a member in their efforts to ensure executive risk owners are aware of their responsibilities, by connecting them with other organisations that have an established self-declaration process for risk owners.
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.
Data aggregation tools
Our custom-built data aggregation tools provide invaluable insights that help risk teams get time-consuming tasks done quickly and efficiently.
