How to Trust Business & How to Trust AI: a Datamaran perspective
No company that operates in isolation can be successful. Businesses need to embrace a complex ecosystem of varied interests and needs - its employees, shareholders, partners, clients, regulators and, now more than ever, the expanded role of AI technology in our lives. With these dual accelerating forces - the shift towards stakeholder capitalism and a growing dependency on technology - an important question has emerged: What level of trust can - and should - we place in business and in AI?
In this opening session, experts share what it takes to build lasting trust as a corporate leader and a technology innovator, speaking to the shared elements of operating with integrity, in full transparency and collaboratively.
Speakers:
- Marjella Lecourt-Alma, CEO, Datamaran

A New Kind of Insurance Policy: data-driven external risk management
The pandemic led to dramatic shifts in the risk landscape. People expect more out of C-Suite when it comes to mitigating risk and creating value - as evidenced by Larry Fink's CEO letter and the World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report - who now need to keep apace with accelerating changes and demands.
Experts share insights into how digitally-enabled, data-backed risk management provides a new kind of insurance policy for corporate leaders, since a risk can ultimately be an opportunity that you saw too late.

Advancing Board Oversight: the need for proactive monitoring
ESG is no longer a luxury; it is an essential component of effective risk management for Boards. As such, ESG needs to be integrated into strategic and operational processes. Achieving this starts with corporate executives broadening their approach to risk management and the scope of what goes up the Board, which, in turn, depends on an ability to proactively monitor the changing risk landscape.
Experts explain how they're advancing Board effectiveness, risk management, and annual reporting on these risks and opportunities with technology and data analytics.
Speakers:
- Lisa Groff, VP and Chief Risk Officer, AEP

What to expect
Corporations are under more scrutiny than ever, as the world zeros in on how businesses prepare for and respond to a wider set of risks and opportunities, like climate change, social justice and employee wellbeing. With that, the role of C-Suite - and their ability to maintain trust, attract capital and retain talent - is transforming.
This is especially true for CFOs, now charged with the dual challenge of owning digital transformation and meeting investor and regulatory demands for timely and data-backed information.
Companies that successfully identify risks and opportunities ahead of time are able to build trust with stakeholders, showing that they are committed to the needs of each group and have plans in place to meet these needs. When enabled by technology, external risk management ensures that corporate leaders are better prepared to mitigate these risks and unlock opportunities. Join us to gain insights into:
