Many organisations are trying to figure out how to operate in a post-Covid-19 world. The role of Chief Risk Officers in helping their organisations navigate the current volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous times has never been more critical. The war in Ukraine and threats of a global recession further underscore this fact and require urgent attention. Resilience has been described as the ability of organisations to not only survive a crisis but to thrive afterwards. In other words, 'bounce back and bounce forward'. This breakfast event aims to delve deep into how Institutions and Communities can build and maintain resilience.
