Avantage Reply is partnering with PRMIA for its annual Risk Leader Summit. This is an invitation-only gathering for risk practitioners of CRO/MD level seniority in a Financial Institution, with 140+ eligible risk practitioners attending. The Risk Leader Summit comprises a number of highly interactive panel sessions, based on a number of strategic risk topics - for example horizon risks, technology, geopolitics and Brexit – and offers the chance to network with peers.
Key PRMIA conference take-aways by Oscar Mccarthy:
1. CRO as a Strategist – the greatest challenges to the CRO are not the traditional risk challenges, but as someone who both formulates and challenges the firm’s strategy.
2. Technology as an Enabler, with #DigitalTransformation and #MachineLearning projects moving from prototype to reality.
3. Technology as a threat, with increasing exposure to #Cyber attacks and increasing competition from rival #FinTech firms.
4. Increasing fragility of the international order creates a world in which long-held assumptions are tested to the limit: #Brexit is but one example of this.
5. #ClimateChange represents a massive, long-term challenge to the industry, given the need to revalue and reassess entire asset classes. We have only just started to thinking about this mammoth problem, and a lot more work is needed.
Many confirmed speakers from the financial sector were present on the day.
