MAIN CONFERENCE MODERATOR:
ELISIF ELVINSDOTTER
MODERATOR & TV-HOSTESS
Elisif är en mycket erfaren moderator och programledare som står för hög kvalitet och alltid kommer väl förberedd. Har stor kameravana och passar lika bra för scen som online-seminarier och konferenser/sändningar.
I cirka 20 år var hon programledare och nyhetsuppläsare i olika TV-sammanhang, bland annat Uppdrag Granskning, SVT Morgon och UR Vetenskap. Det gav henne bred erfarenhet inom många olika områden. Erfarenhet som breddats än mer under åren som moderator.
Elisif älskar kunskap och vill alltid veta så mycket som möjligt inför ett uppdrag. Hon läser böcker eller utredningar om det behövs för att till fullo förstå ämnet.
För att kunna hålla hög kvalitet och ge varje uppdragsgivare den tid de betalar för, tar hon endast ett fåtal uppdrag per månad. Innehåll och presentation gås alltid igenom i god tid före konferensen.
Ständigt höga betyg i utvärderingarna vittnar om att det gör skillnad. Kunder med krav på hög kvalitet inom lite komplexa områden återkommer ofta flera år i rad. Elisif ledde Transportforum i Linköping i 8 år och har arbetat med Internrevisorernas GRC-dagarna sedan 2012.
Hon talar bra engelska och har lett sessioner på OECD:s International Transport Forum i Leipzig, samt Internrevisorernas Europakonferens i Stockholm. Fick Stora Talarprisets hederspris som bästa moderator 2011.
Toppintervjuer: Edward Snowden, Martti Ahtisaari, Hans Rosling, Noreena Hertz, Alexandra Wrage.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
RICHARD F. CHAMBERS
CIA, QIAL, CGAP, CCSA, CRMA
SENIOR ADVISOR, RISK AND AUDIT AND FORMER PRESIDENT & CEO OF THE IIA
TITLE: CONNECTED RISK – CONQUERING THE PERILOUS RISK EXPOSURE GAP
The IIA’s 2020 “Three Lines Model” was a substantial improvement over the “Three Lines of Defense.” However, the convergence of risk velocity and volatility in the 2020s has contributed to a perilous risk exposure gap for many organizations — fueled by a tsunami of new and emerging risks and stagnant to declining risk, audit, and compliance resources. This session will explore the risk exposure gap phenomenon and essential migration from a “three lines” approach for risk management to a “connected risk approach.” The session will examine the power of connected risk synergy, the attributes of connected risk thinkers, and the imperative to leverage technology as the connected risk enabler. Finally, the session will highlight the future of connected risk change agents in the era of AI.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Identify key factors contributing to the risk exposure gap.
- Discuss reasons to adopt a more aligned approach to risk management that encompasses all three lines.
- Leverage technology to enable collaboration and strengthen risk
