Emerging Risk – A geopolitical Perspective

Please note

The webinar begins at 09.30 (BST) | 16.30 (GMT+8). 

Wed 12 Jul 2023 -
16:30 - 17:30

Emerging risks require a dynamic approach to risk assessment rather than the static approach of looking for longer-term reviews of emerging risks on an annual basis. Emerging risks such as geopolitical risk, climate change, cyber risks, and pandemics, to name a few, create a variety of discrete, linked, and compound events and cascading consequences.

When they crystallize, these risks can cause significant human, economic, environmental, and infrastructure damage.

Therefore, effective enterprise risk management should ensure ongoing review and improvements to existing risk frameworks by creating an emerging risk sub-framework to account for emerging risk identification, to identify, assess, quantify, represent, and communicate these types of risks and their associated uncertainties so that firms can minimize the strategic shocks associated with emergencies that arise from these types of risks.

This webinar provides key insights into key global geopolitical issues and explores how risk functions can contribute to more effective decision-making in their firms on this key issue.
