Ariane Chapelle 
Partner - BDO Chapelle - Risk Advisory & Training

Join Dr. Ariane Chapelle, a renowned risk management expert, for an insightful examination of how incidents and crises create special states of heightened risk that could potentially spiral into business failure. She will explore why failures from “perfect storms” or extreme bad luck are often rationalizations for unattended, interconnected risks that were just waiting for a period of vulnerability to kick over the first domino.

Through examination of high-profile cases like the Equifax data breaches and Société Générale's trading losses, Dr. Chapelle will illustrate how factors like resource diversion during crisis management, decreased cognitive capacity under stress, and natural risk interconnections can create dangerous feedback loops that can spiral out of control.

You will learn how to:

  • Understand the factors that heighten likelihoods and impacts of risks facing organizations.
  • Identify and manage interconnected risks.
  • Learn strategies to break the cycle of cascading incidents.
  • Develop robust incident management approaches that help prevent risk spirals.
  • Build organizational resilience through proactive risk management.
