In this episode, Simon Wills, Luke Carrivick, and Steve Bishop discuss our strategic vision for operational and non-financial risk. They explore how changes have impacted operational and non-financial risk profiles and priorities. And look at why this transformation requires a shift in the approach to risk management.
Some of the topics explored are:
- Do we see a transformation in the business?
- Do we think that transformation in the business is impacting risk priorities and profiles?
- And as a consequence of that, do we think that operational and non-financial risk management needs to change?
