Operational Risk emerges from various sources; sometimes lying undetected for years, or more often, unexpectedly, catching executives off-guard. Join us for this roundtable discussion to share your ideas and find out how your peers mitigate operational risk and ensure protection of their organisation’.
The discussion is relevant to Chief Executives, Chief Financial Officers, Managing Directors, Business Continuity Managers, Risk and Compliance Managers, and all senior executives looking to assess and mitigate risks during 2010/11.
Rod Crowder, Managing Director of OpsCentre, will facilitate an open and unbiased discussion between participants; providing an opportunity to comment and discuss individual perspectives and share related issues and experiences with each other. He will outline a number of action areas where senior executives can gain rapid traction on this important challenge.
Operational Risk is one of many categories of risk managed by all organisations, others include; strategic, compliance, reporting, market, credit, legal, political and insurance risks. Whilst some types relate to generation of strategic advantage or profitability, operational risk is inherent to the imperfections or errors of its people, processes and technology assets. Organisations must assess the likelihood and impact to generate an overall rating, against which mitigation strategies can be implemented or accept a level of ‘residual risk’.
Our round table discussion topics include:
What are the major categories of operational risk?
How are organisations assessing qualitative and quantitative operational risks?
How does ‘risk appetite and tolerance’ vary across different organisations?
What strategies, methods and tools are organisations using for risk mitigation?
What operational risk management standards or ‘good practice guides’ are relevant?
What experiences do people have in responding to incidents?
We look forward to sharing your views and perspectives at our Roundtable.
