Covid-19: Business resilience – achieving escape velocity
Dr Grant Foster, Managing Director, Global Risk Consulting,
UK Commercial Risk Solutions, Aon
To set the scene for the day, this session will look at how companies can exploit upside opportunities to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis with sufficient ‘escape velocity’ to grow and thrive. The session will explore a series of thought provoking tactical and strategic activities that ERM practitioners can use to challenge thinking, improve risk decisions and increase resilience in the organisation.
09.30 – 10.00
PANEL
Corporate Purpose – Infusion of the Leader’s Spirit
There is a growing sense among business leaders that they should be able to articulate a shared understanding of why their organisation exists, and what the role of business within larger society should be. Corporate purpose is a way to express the organisation’s impact on stakeholders, given the rising importance of intangible assets and stakeholder support to businesses today. This panel will discuss the concept of corporate purpose, and the role of business leaders in developing business responsibility and reputation as organisations re-set after Covid-19 – Sponsors
10.00 – 10.30
KEYNOTE
3-point Winter Action Plan for Flood/Climate Resilience
Dr Beverley Adams
Consulting Director, Strategic Risk Group, Marsh Advisory
As winter storms threaten, this session discusses the three actions that every risk manager and board should be taking now, to be ready should the worst come to pass:
(1) Flood Emergency Response Plan – exercising your FERP and aligning it with the new Flood Resilience Code of Practice guidelines
(2) Renewals – with insurers heavily penalising immature flood risk management, working with your broker to be on the front foot
(3) Climate roadmap – establishing your strategic plan for meeting new reporting requirements including TCFD and ESG.
10.30 – 11.00
KEYNOTE
Organisational Resilience
James Crask
Head of resilience consulting, Marsh
The resilience of our organisations depends upon much more than a having a good Business Continuity Plan. It involves the collective effort of a wide range of risk management disciplines, all working together to reduce disruption risks and to help an organisation adapt in the face of change. James’ session will cover:
What operational resilience means, and what the role of the risk manager should be in helping to achieve it.
What resilience means to an Executive or Board.
How organisations are implementing operational resilience and what ‘enough resilience’ looks like.

Risk Management in the Boardroom
Mary O’Connor
Chief Risk Officer, KPMG
Without risk there is – literally – no reward. However, companies often fail to take the risks necessary to grow or they take enormous risks unnecessarily. The job of risk at the boardroom level is to energise and elevate the conversation – to ensure that companies take the right risks, in the right way. There are three key elements to achieving this outcome:
Focussing on the risks companies need and want to take – now and in the future;
Making good risk-based decisions;
Assessing and mitigating risks effectively; and
Driving a positive and forward-looking culture that embeds risk behaviours.
13.30 – 14.00
Keynote
-
The CRO perspective: Reimagining risk
Robb Eadie
Chief Risk Officer, BHP - Crisis events provide the opportunity, from a risk perspective, for organisations to take a fresh look at the things they believe they do well but which events tell them they don’t.They provide the opportunity and permission for risk professionals to reset and reposition ERM systems, policies, procedures and practices to reflect the new normal.Finally, they allow the organisation to reassess what matters most, and refocus on those things, in order to bolster the company’s resilience to future events.
