Ethical corporate decision making through the lens of risk management.

Date: May 28, 2020

Speaker: Lance J. Ewing ARM, CRM, ERMP EVP Global Risk Management & Client Services, Cotton Holdings

For many Canadian companies, managing risk has been viewed through the lens of an esoteric business function. A task designed to buy insurance, control losses and adhere to compliance standards. But as more organizations fall prey to intangible risks, the bridge of risk management is widening to include driving ethical leadership and value-based risk decision making. But what is right for one company may be wrong for another. The risk management professional must know the difference and be a front-runner for ethical corporate decision making. This session will be educational, thought provoking and entertaining.

They likewise can lead much needed discussion on how to attract and retain the right people with the right skills to address a cyber “bad day”. Join this webinar to learn how risk managers can help drive a truly cyber-savvy workforce that promotes lasting resilience and cybersecurity success.
