ISRM ANZ will host a timely online event exploring the implications of the World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2026 for today’s risk leaders and decision-makers.
The latest report from the World Economic Forum describes an emerging “age of competition”, marked by fragmentation, confrontation and declining trust. Against this backdrop, strategic risk management is becoming more complex — and more critical — than ever.
In partnership with AcademyGlobal, the Institute of Strategic Risk Management (ISRM) invites members and guests to an exclusive online briefing featuring Mark Elsner, Head of the Global Risks Initiative and co-author of the report. The session will be hosted by Paul Vorbach, Vice President of ISRM ANZ.
The discussion will translate the report’s headline findings into practical insights for governance, resilience and strategic risk management, focusing on key signals shaping the global outlook:
- Geoeconomic confrontation leads the two-year risk horizon, alongside mis/disinformation and societal polarisation.
- Accelerating technology risks, including persistent cyber insecurity and the rising long-term impact of adverse AI outcomes.
- Environmental risk dominance over the 10-year horizon, highlighting the need for resilience strategies capable of withstanding compounding stress.
