1st Speakers
Title: Outcome Base Risk Assessments
Chris Huntington, Nexigen, Mark Schnitter, Centric Consulting
Description: This session will discuss the merits of an outcome based risk assessment and risk management process as a means for speaking more clearly to upper level management such as a board of directors or C level individuals. Traditional risk management strategies are used with best practices as the foundation, however they are presented in a way that is more consumable to a board member or non-technical executive. We will provide a format for performing a situational risk assessment, guidance on what has and has not worked when presenting to board of companies
