Case Study Eliminating the siloed approach to avoid the duplication of functions and multi-layered governance, risk and compliance processes

Managing risks in a siloed manner can make it difficult to fully understand the key risks facing an organisation, which can lead to duplication of risk-mitigation efforts, gaps in the analysis of risks and the lack of a process to aggregate critical risks. During this session, Genis will look at:

How eliminating a departmental approach to risk management can effectively improve the ROI of risk management budgets.
The need to work with other business units to develop new ways of communicating risk across business units
Taking a strategic, company-wide approach to preventing threats and consolidate risk mitigation measures
