The COO Summit
The Royal Automobile Club, Pall Mall, London
7th – 8th February, 2023
Non-Financial Risk
Many argue non-financial risk will be the principal challenge for the financial service industry COO in the coming decade. How best to define, govern, translate, and manage this emerging risk category has become a point of market-wide debate. At the heart of this examination is the COO.
Since 2022 iCOOC has run 27 forums and 2 working groups dedicated to non-financial risk. The community came together to design a risk taxonomy and further discussed how best to provide emerging risk assessment and horizon scanning.
Their accumulated findings, observations and recommendations were used as leading content for discussion and debate at Armstrong Wolfe’s February 2023 COO Summit, focused on non-financial risk.
“Thank you very much for hosting this I had a really enjoyable time and was delighted that my concerns about the timing of the debate were clearly ill founded as it seemed to go swimmingly with great engagement from everyone. Very best wishes, Toby.”
Toby Billington
Managing Director, ICG Risk & Controls, Citi
Over 2 days in February 2023 we covered the governance and management of non-financial risk and provided deep dive discussions into the risks that are prevalent challenges to financial services, such as geopolitics, ESG, human capital management, culture, and conduct.
The summit was attended by over 300 within business management from the buy and sell side and received significant praise, “The summit was a great success, informative, great panellists, a myriad of leading professionals and enriched by a selection of global and regional COOs. The fact it was part of our membership kept sponsors at the door, which was refreshing in that this prompted open debate and engagement. The environment and content were most definitely shaped for the COO and the COO community alone.”
“A timely, compelling and deeply engaging summit on Non-Financial Risk mitigation convened and facilitated to great effect and action by Armstrong Wolfe.”
Michael Cole Fontayn
Chairman and Non-Executive Director The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investments
