Forging the Future of GRC: #RISK New York and GRC Report Unite

At the heart of this partnership lies the enduring relationship with Michael Rasmussen, GRC Analyst & Pundit at GRC 20/20, widely revered as the “Father of GRC”. Rasmussen’s profound influence on the field is undeniable, and his continued involvement with the #RISK series, particularly at #RISK New York, underscores our shared dedication to advancing GRC practices. Attendees can anticipate a rich program, heavily influenced by Rasmussen’s expertise, designed to arm them with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate today’s complex risk environment.

Michael Rasmussen’s presence at #RISK New York will be a cornerstone of the event, featuring prominently in a keynote and two crucial panel discussions. His keynote, “The Future of Business, the Future of GRC,” scheduled for 10:15 - 10:45, promises a visionary exploration of how organizations can thrive amidst uncertainty.

Drawing an evocative parallel to Captain Kirk’s famous dictum, “Risk! Risk is our business; that is what this starship is all about. That is why we are aboard her,” Rasmussen will illuminate the critical distinction between merely taking risks and taking the right risks. This session will delve into how modern GRC strategy and technology are evolving to empower leaders, providing the agility and insights needed to steer their “starships” toward sustainable success. It’s a call to embrace calculated risk-taking as the propellant for growth in an unwritten future.

Beyond his keynote, Rasmussen will moderate two highly anticipated panel sessions, bringing his deep understanding to critical industry challenges. The first, “The Strategic Edge: Leveraging GRC for Long-Term Success,” from 4:00 - 4:45, July 9th, will challenge the traditional view of GRC as mere checkboxes. Instead, the panel, featuring experts like Lindsay Burckett-St Laurent, Daniel MacDonald, and Stas Bojoukha, will explore how GRC frameworks can be leveraged as strategic tools to enhance decision-making, foster innovation, and build sustainable growth within organizations. This discussion is set to provide actionable insights for transforming GRC from a cost center into a value driver.

The second panel, “EU Regulations as a Strategic Compass for US Companies,” moderated by Rasmussen from 3:15 - 3:45, July 10th, addresses the increasing global interconnectedness of compliance. In an era marked by global uncertainty, EU regulations are emerging as a critical guidepost for US companies. Joined by Kayne McGladrey and Metin Kortak, Rasmussen will lead a discussion on how aligning with these stringent regulatory standards can offer significant strategic advantages, including enhanced global market access, strengthened risk management practices, and improved corporate governance. This session is vital for any US organization operating internationally or anticipating global expansion.

The partnership between #RISK New York and GRC Report, championed by Michael Rasmussen, epitomizes our commitment to delivering cutting-edge content and fostering a robust GRC ecosystem. We eagerly anticipate Michael Rasmussen’s sessions, which promise to be highlights of the conference, offering delegates unparalleled opportunities to learn from the “Father of GRC” himself and gain practical strategies for navigating the complexities of modern business.

We invite all attendees to capitalize on these invaluable opportunities to deepen their understanding and propel their organizations forward.
