'Your future as a strategic advisor – The human skills that computers cannot easily replace'






Mark Turner


Jane Walde


Abstract

C-suite wants to lead their organisation to optimise outcomes and needs Risk Management professionals to support and enhance their decision making.


Risk Managers are overloaded with data which can be analysed to the nth degree. But is it necessary and is it used?


How are the C-suite and Risk Managers communicating with each other?


Is there a better way to tune in to the C-suit mindset?


Our presentation looks at the human element of risk management whilst other areas are being automated and digitised. These are the bits which computers will not be able to easily replace.

We will explore the different mindsets of the C-suite and Risk Management and ask: “What are the essential interpersonal skills that Risk Management professionals need?
