What capabilities, governance & leadership practices will organisations need to succeed in the AI era?
AI is reshaping how organisations make decisions, manage risk & demonstrate accountability. While existing risk management frameworks provide a strong foundation, risk professionals now need to consider how governance, assurance, risk appetite, controls & organisational capability must evolve as AI becomes increasingly embedded in business operations.
Join RMIA for an interactive two-hour masterclass exploring what effective risk leadership looks like in an AI-enabled environment. Drawing on insights from the Executive Insights Playbook: Risk Management in the AI Era, the workshop will bring together perspectives across enterprise risk management, legal risk, governance, assurance & organisational capability.
Through expert insights, practical examples, case studies & facilitated discussion, participants will examine how AI may influence risk assessment, regulatory obligations, control design, human oversight & organisational readiness. The focus is not on AI as a technology issue, but on the practical decisions organisations need to make to ensure their risk frameworks remain effective, accountable & fit for purpose.
Designed for professionals working across risk, compliance, governance, audit, legal, assurance & business continuity, the session offers an accessible opportunity to build your knowledge, contribute to the discussion & identify practical actions for your organisation.
Bring your team: Organisations are encouraged to register multiple team members. Attending together will help establish a shared understanding of emerging AI-related risks, support more coordinated internal conversations & strengthen capability across functions.
