Podcast: Emerging Risks During the Post-COVID Era

Key Points: 

• The world is marching toward a new normal, and that brings new risks. 
• C-suite leaders need to think critically about how their organization can strategically plan for those risks. 
• Emerging risks include cybersecurity and data protection, regulatory change, talent management and culture, and more. 

This podcast was recorded recorded on May 21, 2020 with the IIA Dallas Chapter and Weaver professionals.

A panel of Weaver professionals outlines strategies for identifying risks left in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, giving c-suite leaders a roadmap for being agile and proactive in turning these risks into opportunities.

On this episode of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers, Weaver’s Bruce Zaret, Robert Neill and Trip Hillman tackle perhaps the largest looming question as the world marches toward a new normal – what risks are emerging in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic?

These emerging risks will impact every corner of your organization, from facilities and supply chain to insurance, financials, your workforce, operations, organizational culture and more.

With that in mind, it’s critical to examine how c-suite leaders and other stakeholders can address these risks, turn them into opportunities for growth, and outline a path forward that engenders success in the post-pandemic era, not trepidation and stagnation.

In particular, the trio of Weaver professionals touched on:

• Where innovation can play a key role in navigating the post-pandemic new normal
•  How to manage elevated risks for IT professionals, including those surrounding technology implementation, remote work capabilities, growing security risks as organizations incorporate remote collaboration and more into permanent strategies, and more
• Actionable next steps for updating overall organization strategies and assessing risk to maintain critical agility and productivity

Other key considerations during the immediate post-pandemic era and beyond include data protection, management of third-party services and vendor relationships, regulatory changes that could result from this period of uncertainty, and more of the top 11 risks likely to impact your organization in the coming months.
