In this edition of RiskMasters, you will learn:

🔹 Why Risk Must Be a Business Language: How Søren turns risk appetite into a practical tool for executives and boards, embedding it in decision-making, not just policy documents.

🔹 ESG as a Strategic Dimension: Why ESG is no longer a “box” in the taxonomy but a lens shaping every investment, from greenwashing risk to stranded assets and policy volatility.

🔹 Risk Culture & Psychological Safety: How culture and trust determine whether frameworks succeed, and why risk leaders must become business partners rather than gatekeepers.

🔹 AI & Data Integrity in Risk Management: Where Søren sees opportunities for AI in risk reporting, regulation mapping, and scenario planning—while keeping “human judgment in the loop.”

🔹 Leadership for Resilient Teams: Why delegation, curiosity, and broad business understanding are the cornerstones of high-performing risk teams.
