COVID-19 has shifted the conversations in board rooms around the world and has triggered an awakening to become more vigilant against long-term risks
The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation by two-fold, if not more. This is a common theme expressed by the three CEOs
Businesses are faced with a brand-new set of challenges in 2020; however, that does not mean that we can afford to shove previously existing risks to the side
Companies should rethink how they can unlock the value of their intangible assets
Organisations are historically uncertain when it comes to ART; however, risk managers should start reconsidering non-traditional insurance programmes to keep on top of current and emerging risks
Key tips for risk managers: Maintain strong relationships with stakeholders, remain flexible, ready & organised, and focus on mitigating risks instead of how to cover damages
