Member priorities we're working on
Based on specific member priorities, our network managers provide targeted support through bespoke collaboration opportunities. Below are a few examples of the challenges members are solving through the network.
Successfully implementing a GRC tool to manage risk
How are organisations selecting, configuring and implementing a GRC tool, ensuring that is flexible enough to meet the requirements of a growing business?
Modelling the impact of quantitative risks
If you follow a “bottom-up” approach to reporting and aggregating enterprise risks, how the model the cumulative impact of quantitative risks and demonstrate the value of this approach?
Evolving enterprise risk management
How do you approach conversations about risk with the board to make the subject more engaging and evolve attitude towards risk management within the organisation?
Risk management in philanthropy
What steps are risk professionals in the philanthropic sector to drive risk maturity upwards and are there any key learnings from other industries?
Benchmarking risk matrices
How are companies simplifying their risk matrix for the business and linking it to the other tools and processes already in place around the organisation?
Portfolio risk
How are the portfolio risks monitored and reported up to holdinggroup level? Also, are the methods used mainly qualitative or quantitative in nature?
How to bring geopolitical risk into risk assessments
How do you make geopolitical risk meaningful and relevant to the business, either through dashboarding or other methods?
Managing supplier risk
Given that third party risk can be very siloed within an organisation, focused on predominantly by procurement teams, how do you get everyone to use a cohesive supplier risk framework?
Aggregating asset risks
As part of an effort to integrate risk management into decision making and business planning, how are organisations aggregating risks across their asset portfolio and using this information to report to the board?
Engaging with the C-Suite outside of governance committees
As opposed to just presenting risk updates to senior leaders on a periodic basis, how can you engage with them outside of this window to drive a risk agenda?
Approaching sustainability from a risk perspective
How does the risk management team maintain oversight of sustainability risks while meeting regulatory and social obligations?
Dashboards that provide insights and drive decisions
What’s more valuable: is it the visualisation of risk data, or verbal insights off the back of that data? Also, what are the challenges faced with drawing meaningful insights out of risk data?
Effective risk management for decarbonisation of operations
How are companies identifying risks associated with decarbonisation across their risk register and galvinising senior stakeholders to agree to a plan of action?
Presenting emerging risks to the board
How do other risk leaders handle their emerging risk reporting, in terms of the type of data they present and the level of granularity that they drill down into during conversations with senior leaders?
TCFD reporting processes
What does the TCFD reporting process need to look like to make it successful? For example, who should be involved, how can you effectively engage senior management, and what assurance needs to be provided over the data.
Determining whether to have risk appetite statements
Do any companies operate without risk appetite statements and, if so, how do they ensure the level of risk-taking within the business is commensurate with the risk appetite of the organisation and its senior leaders?
Practical implementation of scenario analysis
How do you run scenario planning exercises in practice as well as theory, making sure you prepare enough and pitch material to the business at the right level?
Data and AI usage in risk management
What are the optimal ways of leveraging analytics and AI to deliver better risk insights for the business?
Developing KRIs to embed risk appetite
How do you build on risk appetite statements by developing KRIs to bring them to life and how can you achieve senior leader engagement with these indicators?
