AI is quickly moving from theory to practical application in risk management. Join this session to explore how organisations are beginning to integrate AI capabilities into their RMIS environments. We’ll look at real use cases, demonstrate how tools like Agentforce can support risk teams, and open the discussion to share experiences, opportunities, and challenges as AI becomes part of the future of risk management.

At the outset, Control Risks were working with risk data dispersed across over 50 spreadsheets, limiting their ability to draw out meaningful insights and a cohesive global perspective. This session will explore the practical steps they have taken to implement a centralised, user-friendly platform — from pre-loading risk data to demonstrate early value, to driving engagement and building internal advocates.

Hear how linking risks to strategic priorities is already shaping better conversations, clearer accountability, and more actionable insights. Attendees will gain key learnings on overcoming implementation hurdles, proving value quickly, and laying the foundations for long-term behavioural change and more efficient risk management.
 

Resilience doesn’t have to be dry or complicated — it can be practical, relatable, and yes, even fun! In this interactive session, Aaron Dixon will show you how to take BIAs, BCPs, and best practice guidelines and turn them into something real teams actually understand and use.

You’ll explore simple ways to teach key skills, involve your people, and make resilience something everyone can relate to. Through hands-on exercises, relatable examples, and lively discussion, we’ll tackle the people side of resilience: how to communicate plans clearly, collaborate effectively, and turn everyday processes into real and usable resilience practices. Walk away with ideas you can apply immediately.

Many organisations know they need stronger operational resilience, but few can afford to rip and replace what already exists. This session will explore how leading teams are evolving from traditional business continuity toward end-to-end resilience by building on what works, closing visibility gaps, and connecting risk, continuity, and operational insight. Presenters will share practical lessons from their maturity journey, including what they kept, what they changed, and how they gained executive traction without starting over.

The session will also provide a preview of the upcoming v2 release, highlighting key enhancements designed to further simplify data collection and strengthen renewal insights.

When it comes to AI, many organisations face the same challenge: excitement at the opportunity, and paralysis about where to begin. In this session, Pinnacle Pet shares their real-world AI journey, from early uncertainty to building a structured, scalable AI governance framework.
The session explores how to start small with practical use cases, establish foundational policies, and evolve governance as adoption grows. It will also unpack the critical conversations required across the organisation, and how aligning stakeholders early accelerates progress.
Pinnacle Pet will demonstrate how clarity emerges through action, and how governance becomes more intuitive as maturity increases. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to adopt AI in their own organisations.
