Strategic Risk, Resilience and Leadership in an Age of High-Impact Uncertainty

Wednesday, 29 April 2026
08:30 – 11:00 BST
The National Liberal Club, London

ISRM and Toro Solutions invite senior leaders to an Exclusive Breakfast Briefing created for C-Suite executives, Chief Risk Officers, Chief Resilience Officers and professionals in equivalent strategic roles.

In an increasingly volatile and interconnected environment, organisations are being challenged to think differently about preparedness, resilience and decision-making. This executive session will provide a space for senior leaders to explore how organisations can better anticipate, prepare for and respond to high-impact uncertainty.

The morning will begin with a breakfast and welcome, followed by a panel discussion featuring senior perspectives on today’s resilience and risk landscape, followed by facilitated roundtable conversations designed to encourage practical discussion, peer exchange and strategic insight.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to network over breakfast in the distinguished surroundings of The National Liberal Club.

Agenda

• 08:30 AM – 09:00 AM | Breakfast & Welcome

Continuing the conversation

This event builds on the success of the first ISRM London Chapter Breakfast Briefing, held in partnership with Toro Solutions on 5 February 2026.

That session brought together senior leaders from across the resilience and risk profession for a thought-provoking discussion on leadership, preparedness and accountability in an increasingly complex world. The conversations and insights shared demonstrated the clear value of creating dedicated spaces for strategic dialogue among senior decision-makers.

This next briefing continues that conversation — bringing together leaders once again to share perspectives, challenge assumptions and explore practical approaches to resilience in uncertain times.

Who should attend

This event is intended for senior professionals in roles including:

• C-Suite leadership
• Chief Risk Officer
• Chief Resilience Officer
• Security and resilience leadership
• Crisis, continuity and preparedness leadership
• Equivalent strategic decision-making roles
