Networking Conference

The Airmic/Cass Business School report "Roads to Ruin" .....investigates the origins and impact of over twenty major corporate crisis over the last decade. The report gives a rich source of lessons to be learned, and defines seven key risk areas .....that can pose an existential threat to any firm that fails to recognize and manage them.

 One of the top risks defined in the report "Roads to Ruin" is

  • Board risk blindness - the failure of boards to engage with important risks,
    including risks to reputation and 'licence to operate', to the same degree that
    they engage with rewards and opportunity

To explore what boards can do to avoid "risk blindness", The Norwegian Institute of Directors have invited distinguished speakers on both national and international levels to share their experience on how boards deals with risk management, as well as exchanging views and thoughts on this new risk landscape.
