Women on Boards Ukraine hosted an exclusive session on "What Boards Need to Know About Risk Management," featuring Floris Schuring, Partner at KPMG International and a recognized expert in risk management, crisis leadership, business resilience, and corporate governance.

During this session, Floris shared his extensive global expertise, focusing on the challenges boards face when navigating environments of war, high volatility, and stable developed markets. His insights offered a clear comparison of the differing priorities and responsibilities in these contexts.

Key Differences in Board Roles In Stable Environments: Boards prioritize long-term risks, innovation, succession planning, and AI integration to drive sustainable growth and ensure future readiness.

In War or High Volatility: The focus shifts to immediate risk mitigation, crisis management, regulatory compliance, stakeholder communication, and operational resilience.
