Rise Above the Chaos: Building Resilience in Business & Government

Nicholas Martin

Head of Strategic Risk Consulting, Pacific at Marsh

Join us for an engaging discussion on Resilience in Business and Government. In this session, we will delve into the critical importance of an organisation's ability to withstand and recover from various perils, including cyber threats, climate events, and supply chain disruptions. We will explore how resilience is not only an individual responsibility of organisations but also a shared responsibility with the government, emphasising the need for both parties to work together. Marsh McLennan's unique perspective on this topic, given our role with the UK National Preparedness Commission, will provide valuable insights. Nicholas, an expert in resilience activities for organisations, will share case studies of businesses that have excelled in building resilience and those that have not. We will also discuss different mechanisms to treat resilience risks.

The risk holy grail! Creating a dynamic integrated risk profile

David Tattam

Protecht

Risk is a difficult beast to understand and measure. There is no single measure that is the magic pill! Instead we need to understand and “measure” many different aspects of risk to create a comprehensive risk profile that can then be used for management and decision making. In addition, risk is dynamic, it is always changing. This means our understanding and measures must be as current and real time as possible. We are seeking the dynamic integrated risk profile. This session takes a look at what makes up a comprehensive risk profile, how it can be assembled and used, as well as what the processes and systems need to be to be able to provide that profile when and where it is needed. We will be covering: 1.Intimately understanding the nature and behaviour of any risk. 2.The ways risk can be “measured” and the information required 3.The processes that need to be in place to gather that information 4.Bringing it together into a dynamic integrated risk profile 5.Using the profile

4:10pm - 4:50pm 

Wrangling Wicked Problems – the ultimate risk management challenge!

Dr. Gav Schneider

The ISRM ANZ CSWP (Centre for the study of Wicked Problems) and RMIA’s Risk Leader of the year

The term Wicked Problems was originally coined in an academic paper authored by design theorists Horst Rittel and Melvin Webber over 50 years ago. While there are many attributes that define a Wicked problem, generally they are based on problems that are fast evolving with no clear solution or where the solution generates further problems and a level of residual risk that is potentially worse than they initial issue itself. Fast forward to today, Risk Managers and Leaders try and grapple with the reality of a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous and Digital (VUCAD) world which challenges us with more and more Wicked Problems. In this session we will explore how Risk Managers and Leaders can better cope with and wrangle wicked problems to create successful outcomes.
