In today's ever-changing and disruptive landscape, transformation is both unavoidable and risky. Many transformations lack formal risk management processes, with projects often lacking controls, comprehensive change plans, and input from security, privacy, risk, and legal teams. Learn how organisations are preparing themselves to be more agile and receptive to unanticipated, nonlinear opportunities that present themselves along the journey, through a process and automation led methodology.

 

Discover how to:

  • Grow your risk appetite by advancing Process Management Maturity
  • Build effective digital business models with proper process, continuous improvement, and change frameworks
  • Leverage unintended benefits of mitigating regulatory, compliance, and operational risks
