About the Event
In the wake of the Bondi attack, organisations are operating in an increasingly complex and uncertain geopolitical environment. This panel discussion will explore how these shifts are reshaping the risk landscape, and what they mean in practice for risk management, governance and assurance.
The discussion will consider the emerging challenges organisations may need to anticipate, as well as the opportunities to strengthen resilience, improve decision-making and adapt risk practices to a changing global context.
Join us for a timely conversation on how risk professionals can navigate this evolving environment with clarity and confidence.
