Date:

Time:
10:00 - 11:00 a.m. EDT

Presented By:
Derek Leatherdale
Founder & Managing Director, GRI Strategies Ltd
Session Length:
60 minutes
The global economic consequences of the Ukraine invasion show that geopolitical risk is changing fast and affecting companies in an increasing number of ways. Other geopolitical issues also threaten to undermine stability in the global business environment, meaning risk teams have to support their organisations through increasingly volatile geopolitical conditions.
This is a new area for many risk functions, however. In advance of the publication of a new paper from PRMIA on this area, the webinar will provide expert insights into key global geopolitical issues and explain how the nature of geopolitical risk faced by firms is changing. It will also provide insights into how risk functions operate on geopolitical risk and the practical steps they can take to provide greater support to their firms on this increasingly strategic agenda.
