The battle for 'Operational Resilience': regulatory compliance v trusted technology

23/6/2020

Operational Resilience: Explainability vs Efficiency
​Armed with his customary pint of bitter and a packet of Steak flavour pringles – not your typical Supper Club cuisine – our host Lee kicked off the final episode of our virtual trilogy:
​
  • Does the path to greater resilience require a combination of increased regulatory compliance and trusted technology?  ​​
A pertinent topic at the best of times; the Covid-19 outbreak has underlined the need to instil operational resilience before, during and after a crisis so businesses can respond, recover and thrive.

Zoom work culture: is it the ‘new normal’ and what are the risks?

5/6/2020

A summary of the second installment of the GRC 'virtual' Supper Club trilogy (the 17th event overall), which took place on 28 May, 2020
Zoom hasn’t only been responsible for hosting more quizzes than Bamber Gascoigne and Magnus Magnusson put together during the lockdown period; the video conferencing platform has also enabled businesses across the world to overcome many of the challenges presented by large scale homeworking – which has suddenly become a forced necessity, rather than a convenient and occasional alternative.
Zoom Culture & The Risk Environment
This collaboration tool – and the remote working culture it breeds – has the potential to become the ‘new normal’ for many businesses long after the Covid-19 pandemic has been consigned to history. But what about the potential risks?​

​With this in mind, we decided to ask our three esteemed speakers: will companies start to embrace the ‘Zoom’ work culture and how will this impact their risk environment?

Like a phoenix from the flames: GRC (virtual) Supper Club takes flight

22/5/2020

​The first virtual Supper Club – minus the food – kicked off with our host Lee reminding us why we had swapped the swanky confines of The Groucho Club for a video conference at the kitchen table: PPE facemask, suit and tie certainly isn’t the norm at our live events. ​With all the pleasantries taken care of and a quick virtual cheers, it was time to let our first esteemed speaker take the floor - or screen in this case – to give us their expert opinion on our chosen topic: will Covid-19 lead to a reframing of Operational Resilience in the boardroom?

​The past two months have been a crazy whirlwind of webinars, phone calls, and video meetings. Organizations the world over have been asking for calls on how to respond to the pandemic from a GRC perspective, and what the world of GRC will look like and how corporate governance, enterprise risk, and compliance and ethics management will change coming out of the pandemic.

Summary of GRC Supper Club IX: The hedgehog and the fox: A GRC dichotomy!

2/11/2017

Thank you all for joining the 2MC sponsored event on the 2nd Nov. This was our biggest gathering to date and, given the topic, aptly took place in the woodland of the Barbican Centre.  

​We had 4 great speakers who helped provide content to digest and discuss over food and .....did I mention? .... unlimited wine... although I forgot this was only until 10pm - if I was looking after Gismo we would now be overrun by gremlins.​
Picture
We also had Danny illustrating the key themes as we went, his artwork will help us collectively drive content from the events going forward.

The central theme was really workplace personas, perceived communications challenges and whether technology would help bridge these gaps. Can anyone hear Roger's BS detector going off?... phew. I was too tall to qualify for a Tom Cruise risk assessment prior to the event, so please let us know what you thought of the topic and event through the survey below.

It was a pleasure, as always, bringing together old and new GRC friends. If you enjoyed it shout it from the roof tops, if you didn't please keep it to yourself ;)

GRC Supper Club IV: Operational Risk in Gennaro's Room

25/11/2015

Hi Team Supper Club,

I hope you're all well and a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all !!!

Thank you to those of you that were able to attend the fantastic Winter 2015, GRC supper club held at the Groucho Club in London! We had some stimulating topics of conversation, which drove some passionate debates.

Picture
I still have a few of the Groucho Marx glasses and cigars, if anyone wants a memento to wear around the Christmas Day dinner tables. The GRC SC will never forget Tom Edwards tinkling the ivories in the bar with 4 people stood around him singing as if in the war years - haha. 

Also, A huge thank you to Rajat and Manoj for their fantastic talks which helped to facilitate the conversations throughout the night.
 
Following on from the great discussions, I thought I would let you know 2 things that may be of interest:

  1. Antione Damelincourt [Archer Principal Product Manager] is in the UK the w/c 4th January. He is available to anyone within the supper club community that might want to talk to him about anything ORM. If you would be interested in having a coffee with him please drop me an email.

  1. Gala Charity Dinner Thurs 14th Jan  -­ I have a few tables reserved at a BBC Sports charity question of sport dinner and wanted to extend the invite to everyone within the supper club. The night is hosted by Ian Robert, Matt Dawson and Jill Douglas. Seats are going quickly, please email me if you¹re interested in some live Question of Sport quiz action :)

See you all in 2016.

Regards

GRC Supper Club II: Operational Risk Management a Shakespearean Tale

19/3/2015

0 Comments

 
The second GRC Supper Club took place at The Sawn restaurante next to the Globe Theatre in central London. The view for our second event may not have been as panoramic as that from the Shard, but it was amazing and the Swan Restaurant private room was more conducive to group discussions. As you are all aware, the idea of the supper club is to bring together peers for networking and with that in mind it was wonderful to see, yet again, shared interests bloom, intersect and build across tables. ​
Picture
The event followed the same format as the last, with special guest speakers in between courses. Which enables great peer group discussions, we had 2 speakers arranged; a retired Sergeant Major [Medical Corps - deeply experienced in Risk Management, Crisis Management, Security, Leadership] and 2MC [skilled risk solution consultants - to discuss best practises and the keys to a successful implementation e.g. mitigation of engagement risk].
Picture
Some snippets from the evening include:
  • John Thirlwell¹s speech on the meaning of Op Risk was fantastic, although, he never managed to get rid of the Chinese version of his ORM book. He did, however, manage to sell a signed copy to Ron Miles (which Ron bought with my money lol).  
  • Al and Dom also provided some great insight
  • Philip White is a hardcore marathon man having done his first in the desert. He is running in the London Marathon and if you would like to sponsor him see link - http://www.virginmoneygiving.com/PhilipWhite3320  
  • Derek is able to do a great impromptu (I asked him during the starter ha-ha) overview of his success at Nat Grid, even after a few glasses of wine.
  • Breda and Deepak were in deep discussion on how connected the Op Risk community has become over the years. e.g. Jitendra and Deepak had worked at UBS in their careers. 
  • Philip Martin carried on the discussions beyond dessert and into the post dinner drinks. Although, there was no late night pool at the 8 Ball club this time :)
  • Jitendra and Deepak had more will power than me and made their trains ­- Jit didn't make the 5am gym session though
  • Luke, Tom, and Ross kept Michaela in check (she loves wine) and had some insightful conversations on current burning platforms
  • Ian Sivyer ­ Has army routes and would like to add flavour to the risk discussion we had on this at the Summer Supper Club ­ I have you down now Ian, there is no getting out of itŠ ha-ha
  • Harpeet and Ash had some great conversations with Ron about bringing in vulnerability scanning into the Op Risk engine room -until the 4x nurofen kicked in :)
  • Nick - worked with Archer for over 10 years at BP so he knows the product and RSA very well, so enjoyed the social side of the evening :)
  • Robin - was gutted to miss the post dessert drinks, so I will make sure we have some whiskey ready to come out with dessert at the next event.

A huge thank you to John, Al, Dom and Derek for sharing their Op Risk experiences.
