Building a Resilient Business in an Age of Disruption - London

Strategic Resilience and Provision 29: London Workshop on Adaptive GRC Frameworks

In a world defined by volatility, complexity, and accelerating change, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) has a crucial role in building a resilient, sustainable business but must remain aligned to corporate strategy. Hosted by Workiva with Michael Rasmussen as presenter, this workshop in London addresses how today's dynamic business landscape—from climate change impacts and geopolitical uncertainty to evolving stakeholder expectations—requires an integrated perspective where resilience and sustainability are mutually reinforcing drivers of long-term corporate value.

Workshop Focus

Building on the principles of effective governance and control, Michael Rasmussen provides a strategic roadmap for harmonising your GRC and sustainability strategies to support the delivery of organisational objectives. This workshop moves beyond mere compliance to focus on enduring performance and purposeful growth, exploring how to design adaptive GRC strategies that transform disruptive threats into opportunities for innovation, turning risk management into a true competitive advantage.

An additional focus will be placed on the UK Corporate Governance Code's Provision 29. We will discuss how a robust, integrated framework provides the essential assurance a board needs regarding the effectiveness of its risk management and internal control systems.
