External risk often reaches the boardroom after it has already become a crisis. This webinar will examine how risk leaders can close that gap and position themselves as strategic partners to decision-makers. We'll explore what "external strategic risk" truly means and show how Verisk Maplecroft's external risk insight supports this shift: giving risk and resilience teams the ability to monitor, quantify, and communicate external threats with the same rigor and credibility as internal financial and operational metrics.
Whether you're preparing board or risk committee reports, informing enterprise risk strategy and decision-making, or building the case for greater investment in external risk monitoring, this session will offer a practical perspective on turning global uncertainty into a source of competitive advantage.
