Strategic Road to Business Resilience and Superior Performance in AI-powered Future

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 centered around the theme of “Strategic Road to Business Resilience and Superior Performance in AI-powered Future.” 

In today’s ever-shifting business landscape, organisations face a multitude of pressures, ranging from regulatory complexities to disruptive market forces, including new AI technologies. Regionally, in GCC, there is a paradigm shift where sustainability, accountability, and compliance move away from being mere marketing buzzwords and become embedded into the very core of organisational strategy. We are seeing this in the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030 ensuring transparency, accountability, and effective risk management from organisations to realise the vision’s economic diversification, social transformation, and technological innovation goals. The risk of non-compliance is simply too high, both socially and financially and ensuring organisational resilience has never been more mission critical.

To navigate this terrain successfully, it is imperative for businesses to not only ensure governance, manage performance, mitigate risks, and uphold compliance, but to also transform into a “connected enterprise.” A “connected enterprise” is a holistic approach to efficient and effective business management, one where governance, performance, risk management, and compliance are seamlessly integrated, enabling strategic alignment, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making. In a connected enterprise, every aspect of the business, from strategy to execution, is connected and aligned, fostering agility, adaptability, and business resilience.

The G[P]RC Summit 2024 will be a 2-day event featuring keynotes and panel discussions from distinguished regional and international speakers. The summit’s sessions will encompass diverse themes, including governance best practices, performance optimisation, risk mitigation strategies, and assurance of regulatory compliance. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the latest GPRC trends, methodologies, tools, and innovations that empower organisations to stay prepared for challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.

Join us at the G[P]RC Summit 2024 and embark on a transformative journey towards building a connected enterprise, business resilience, and superior performance in AI-powered future.
