Geopolitical threats and regional conflicts are threatening the economic stability in many regions. In many instances, business stakeholders across global corporations also possess diverse cultural perspectives that can result in divergent views on risk, strategy and corporate culture in different geographic regions.

More than ever risk managers must be aware of financial and non-financial risks that can affect the stability and resilience of their organizations. We invite you to join the London Chapter and our esteemed speakers for an insightful discussion on geopolitical risk that will include the following takeaways and more:

How can risk leaders address the external and internal threats to their organization’s operating performance?
Does the organization’s risk management framework provide sufficient support?
How can a well-defined risk culture help?

Registration is required as seats are limited. Priority will be given to GARP Individual Members.
