VIRTUAL: fastTrack - Emerging and connected risks

Register here for this live-streamed session.

Emerging and connected risks have become hot topics in recent years as organisations have realised that unmanaged emerging risks and undermanaged connected risks can represent lost opportunities and potentially a significant threat to the organisation. In addition, regulators and credit agencies are also asking organisations to explain how they manage emerging risks. However, you quickly discover that’s a class of risk that is impossible to define fully.

In this session, we will look at the characteristics that lead people to label a risk as emerging and how emerging and connected risks relate to each other. We will also dive into how these risks should be identified, assessed, and managed.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:
Articulate the difficulties in defining emerging risks.
Understand why highly connected and emerging risks need special attention.
Set out a strategy to identify and manage emerging risks that affect your organisation.
