    Driving Success: Integrating GRC with Strategy Execution in a Hyperconnected World

    about

    The G[P]RC Summit is the world’s largest summit on GPRC: GRC integrated with Performance and Strategy – bringing together C-level executives, GRC experts, and industry and academia professionals from across the world to share insights, innovative solutions, and best practices needed to drive organisational success and resilience in an increasingly complex and interconnected business environment. This year’s summit will be centred around the theme of “Driving Success: Integrating GRC with Strategy Execution in a Hyperconnected World.”

    In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organisations encounter a myriad of challenges, from regulatory complexities to disruptive market forces and emerging technologies such as AI. Particularly in the GCC region, there is a notable shift towards embedding sustainability, accountability, and compliance into core organisational strategies. In the UAE, which hosts COP28 this year, sustainability is a priority on governmental agendas, as they integrate ESG frameworks to fuel future growth. The repercussions of non-compliance are significant, both socially and financially, making organisational resilience more critical than ever.

    To thrive in this dynamic environment, businesses must go beyond traditional governance, performance management, risk mitigation, and compliance. They must transform into “connected enterprises” where these elements are seamlessly integrated, driving strategic alignment, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making. By focusing on integrating GRC with strategy execution, organisations can ensure that every facet of the business – people, processes, and data – is interconnected and aligned. This integration fosters agility, adaptability, and resilience, empowering businesses to navigate complexities and capitalise on opportunities in an increasingly connected world.

    The G[P]RC Summit 2025 will be a two-day event featuring keynote addresses and panel discussions led by distinguished regional and international speakers. The summit’s sessions will explore a range of themes, including governance best practices, performance optimisation, risk mitigation strategies, and regulatory compliance assurance. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest trends, methodologies, tools, and innovations in GPRC, empowering them to navigate future challenges and seize emerging opportunities.

    Join us at the G[P]RC Summit 2025 and embark on a transformative journey towards driving success in a hyperconnected world.

      Blueprint for an Integrated, Agile Approach to Enterprise Risk & Resilience

      The complexity of today’s business environment demands that organizations approach risk and resilience with a strategic, integrated mindset. Maintaining alignment between business strategy, operations, and risk processes is a constant challenge with rapid changes in technology, globalization, regulations, and competitive forces. Effective risk and resilience management requires 360° awareness of the organization’s objectives, risks, and impacts, enabling a holistic view that goes beyond traditional compliance checkboxes. Organizations must see the intricate connections between objectives, risks, and controls and have systems in place to adapt and respond in real time. Read More
