S3E7: Integrated Risk Thinking and the IRM Navigator™ Model
Why Integrated Risk Thinking (IRT) is the Strategic Superpower Your Business Has Been Missing
For organizations in today’s digital era, the biggest risk might not be what’s coming—but how you’re thinking.
Traditional risk management has always been reactive. It slices risk into categories—financial, operational, cybersecurity—and manages them in isolation. The result? Fragmented insights, missed signals, and a business strategy vulnerable to blind spots. Even Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) platforms, once hailed as the future, have largely become digital filing cabinets—useful, but far from transformative.
That’s where Integrated Risk Thinking (IRT) changes the game.
S3E4: Risk's Dual Lens—From Monocle to Smart Glasses
Risk management is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, and businesses stuck in outdated approaches are increasingly vulnerable in today's complex landscape. This eye-opening deep dive examines the stark contrast between traditional and modern risk perspectives through the powerful analogy of "monocles versus smart glasses."
Drawing from insights shared by John Wheeler (Wheelhouse Advisors) and Andrea Elliott (ACI Worldwide) at the Mitratech Interact Conference 2025, we explore why the old compliance-focused, backward-looking approach is dangerously inadequate. Today's interconnected challenges demand a panoramic view that integrates both assurance (protection) and performance (strategy) perspectives.
S3E2: Flipping the Risk Conversation Forward
The relentless pace of change in today's business environment demands a radical rethinking of risk management. Gone are the days when risk could be viewed merely as a necessary evil or compliance hurdle—forward-thinking organizations are now recognizing it as a crucial lens for making better decisions and driving long-term value creation.
Drawing insights from the "Flip the Risk Conversation Forward" session at the 2025 Mitratech Interact Conference, we explore how businesses can navigate turbulence and emerge stronger by fundamentally transforming their approach to risk. John Wheeler's three-part framework—Flip, Adopt, Manage—offers a practical roadmap for organizations looking to evolve beyond siloed, reactive risk management toward a more integrated, proactive stance.
