Risk and Resilience as an Enterprise Capability: Decisions, Objectives, and Operations 

Risk and resilience programs frequently stall because they are managed in isolation: strategy in one conversation, risk registers in another, and operational recovery plans somewhere else entirely. 

Leading organizations structure risk and resilience differently. They treat it as an enterprise capability that supports leadership decisions, sharpens strategic objectives, and strengthens operational execution. 

In this webinar, Michael Rasmussen, The GRC Pundit & Analyst at GRC 20/20, will present a clear framework for thinking about risk and resilience across three integrated layers: 

• Decisions: How leaders use risk as interpretive intelligence to inform strategy, investment, and growth 
• Objectives: How organizations align uncertainty to measurable outcomes and performance 
• Operations: How resilience is proven through planning, testing, and continuous improvement 

This session will examine how mature organizations: 

• Shift from fragmented reporting to evidence-based decision support 
• Connect objectives, performance indicators, and uncertainty in executive dashboards 
• Use scenario analysis and stress testing to validate readiness 
• Optimize recovery capabilities across critical services and third parties 

Attendees will leave with a structured perspective for strengthening resilience across leadership, strategy, and operations, enabling confident decisions in planning and in crisis.

You’ll learn how to:

• Address emerging third-party risk dimensions including regulatory scrutiny, sustainability obligations, cyber dependencies, and geopolitical disruptions that define the 2026 risk landscape.
• Evolve third-party risk management into comprehensive third-party governance by integrating objectives, risk, and compliance management across the entire extended enterprise ecosystem.
• Implement intelligence-driven approaches and automation technologies to manage the full lifecycle of third-party relationships—from onboarding through ongoing monitoring to offboarding—with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
