In an era where Directors are bombarded with conflicting diversity reports and the call for transparent regulated practices, a practical path forward is needed.

This fireside chat session will present the key findings of the Deliberate Board Diversity Project, a collaborative activation project by BIG, WGOB and ir labs as a commitment to higher standards in Canadian corporate governance.

Based on the insights gleaned from over 160 reports and contributions from 140 directors and governance professionals, we will discuss the foundations and designs to activate the call to action for enabling deliberate board diversity.

Building Risk Resiliency through Culture

In an increasingly complex world with a rapidly evolving risk landscape, leaders need to anticipate emerging risks and leverage the best of their company cultures to build resiliency. The Global Risks Report 2024 from the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Marsh McLennan identifies the top risks that we face in the near and long term. We will begin the session with an overview of the top risks identified in the Global Risks Report 2024 and then consider how leaders can manage culture to drive organizational resiliency and optimal outcomes, engaging the audience in an interactive learning session.
