This perception needs to be changed and the workshop will strive to equip participants with the skills and mindset to become the agents of change for this purpose. how the day will look More than 60% of the workshop content is designed upon case studies. Putting on the hats of "Business" & "Risk" Professionals, participants will work together in a team setting to propose practical solutions. There will be activities where a team will need to convince the "Business side" of their proposed control. WHAT WILL BE THE KEY TAKE AWAYS At the end of the day you should be equipped to go back and have answers to the following questions within your set up: Are all the risks within a process catered for? Are our current controls really mitigating the risks? Have we maintained an optimum trade-off between the operational objectives and risk-mitigation? Why am I not able to get a buy-in from the stakeholders?
