Organizations are suffering from volatility across all risk types, and need to re-think their enterprise risk strategy. In a landscape filled with new threats and new regulations, risk management has never been more critical to senior leaders in all sectors, and gaining a complete view of an organization's risk exposure is increasing in complexity.
A well defined risk management program cannot achieve high maturity scores without integrating risk management systems across divided organisational units. Organizations must thoroughly understand the true value at risk and ensure their compliance mandates are not geographically siloed. At the heart of this strategy is the need for a single consistent view of the data. It is a necessity for organizations to build a new generation of integrated risk solutions and applications that exploit this single view of the truth discretely and holistically, driving towards maximum synergy within the enterprise.
Join our panel as they discuss a new generation of risk technologies which use a holistic approach to data management and achieve functional competence. We will explain the most effective way to manage risk across the enterprise, how to get the attention of executives to make sure that enough attention is being paid to the risk, and how to achieve enormous economies of scale while simultaneously meeting the demanding landscape of regulatory change.
