Is your organisation actually using risk to drive performance or just reporting it? In today’s unpredictable world, most organisations are drowning in data but starving for insight. Risk reports get written. Strategies get documented. Frameworks get updated. But very few organisations successfully connect risk and strategy in a way that drives real performance.

So what separates teams that simply “manage risk” from those that turn risk into a strategic advantage?

In this webinar, Shaun Mahon, Director of Product Management at Riskonnect, will break down exactly how leading organisations link risk and strategy to drive measurable business impact. He’ll share practical techniques for elevating conversations, influencing priorities, and ensuring risk insights actually shape the decisions that matter.

In this webinar, you will understand:

• Why aligning risk and strategy is critical to business performance in 2026 and how uncertainty is changing expectations of the risk function.
• How to elevate risk conversations using persuasive advising so you can shift discussions from compliance to opportunity and impact.
• What the “strategist mindset” looks like in practice and how top-performing organisations use it to drive better decisions.
• Simple, practical ways to link risk insight to real action using decision-making levers that influence outcomes across the business.
