Session: Operational Risk Management in a Digitally Transforming Environment

Move from "Gatekeeper" to "Guardrails": Stop treating risk management as the final hurdle before launch. Instead, embed risk controls directly into the Agile design and DevOps pipeline. This allows teams to innovate quickly while ensuring seamless, compliant deployments by default. Digitize the Framework Itself: You cannot govern a digital ecosystem with analog tools. Replace static, manual risk registers (spreadsheets and slides) with automated monitoring and data-driven Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) that match the velocity of your technology. Prioritize Resilience Over Perfection: In complex digital environments, 100% prevention is impossible. Pivot your framework to focus on Operational Resilience—specifically, how quickly you can detect issues and how fast you can recover when systems fail. Plan for Turbulence (The Human & Process Factor): Transformation is difficult and skilled talent is scarce. Don't just plan for technical failure; prepare a clear governance blueprint for execution failure. Ensure you have the right oversight in place for when resources are stretched or plans deviate
