Resiliency Planning in Today’s World

In an increasingly complex world with a rapidly evolving risk landscape directors have an important role to play in cultivating resilience and helping their organizations prepare for unforeseen crises as well as anticipated challenges.

We will examine the top risks identified in the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2025, including geopolitical instability and misinformation and disinformation. We will consider how directors can support organizational resiliency and agility in the context of good governance to help their organizations thrive in an uncertain world. We will discuss how to build a risk-aware culture at the board, including a comprehensive view of the risk on the horizon, differentiating between immediate threats and long-term strategic challenges.

We will identify practical frameworks for boards to use to evaluate emerging risks and how to embed emerging risks into governance practices. We will also consider how boards can ensure that management is being prudent and how to protect the organization against unexpected risks, including stakeholder engagement to build goodwill and support for when unexpected problems arise, adequacy of funding to respond to adverse situations and appropriate assessment of how capital allocation relates to risk appetite. Ultimately, this discussion is about empowering boards to transform risk oversight from a reactive exercise into a forward-looking, value creating function at the heart of corporate governance.
