WHY |
A dangerous judgment gap is facing corporate America. This gap impacts multiple risk touch points within an organization including corporate culture, crisis management, compliance, fraud, executive pay, and safety. Increasingly, companies do not have the right people in the right places at the right times to make the judgment calls that can detect, prevent, and mitigate a crisis. |
|
|
Senior management, on average, spends 80 percent of their time focused on risk processes. However, these processes may well be giving companies and executives a false sense of security. While risk management processes are vitally important, CEB research has shown that they should not be fundamentally elevated above creating a risk-addressing culture throughout the organization. Senior management often misses the human element of risk and instead focuses on process over human judgment. |

|
WHO |
CEOs, CFOs and other finance and strategy executives from Fortune 500 companies will attend the summit to discuss risk management, organizational culture and integrity, and strategies to mobilize employees to protect the company in an ever-evolving risk landscape. |
