About the CEP & the Annual Global Risk Summit

The CEP's Global Risk Summit is an annual 2-day gathering of its international members in Gleneagles, Scotland. Members engage in interactive and thought-provoking discussions about the day-to-day risks organisations, small and large face. The Summit is closed, secured and a confidential environment facilitated by world-reknowned risk and security industry experts.

Senior executives are continually being moved out of their comfort zones to find holistic solutions to singular events that often have cross-functional and global impacts. This is a shift in the way organisational functions traditionally think and work. For example, IT usually plans, implements, and audits against controls that have IT impact. So how do policies for web server protection and prevention against identity theft impact on marketing campaigns, CRM exercises, joint venture and customer interaction? Who should take accountability for risk mitigation plans?

The same analogy falls true for other functions, such as HR (identity management), Marketing (identity theft), Finance (segregation of duties). Every one of these areas are impacted by key functional components from every other function. Unless senior decision makers truly understand the global vertical and horizontal impact of our decisions, then not only will we end up with a skewed version of facts for our decision making, but also the organisation will end up placing no accountability of accountability in the least effective function.
