9:00 am - 11:00 am Workshop A: Creating An Accountable, Lean And Resilient Risk Organization By Re-Designing Team Roles, Processes And Controls Around Customer Journeys And Outcomes

Vinita Ramtri - Head of Controls Automation, Barclays UK (KEYNOTE)
At large organizations, non financial risk management challenges are typical – low visibility of risk across the 3 lines of defence, duplication of processes and reduced accountability. With customers gaining visibility into an organization’s use and management of their data and empowering them to switch providers on whim, threats like system outages, cyber attacks and data breaches need to be handled meticulously and there’s no place to for the leadership team to hide should they materialize!

In this workshop, Vinita takes you through a new way of thinking and structuring of risk teams and processes at Barclays UK to offer your business the best of breed approaches that can help you prevent and in the unfortunate instance, effectively respond to such risks. By tying the risk team’s set up to cater to customer journeys, she has created a foundation for non risk management that can now be incrementally matured through control automation and innovative technologies.

Expected Outcomes:
  • Reduces customer risk and improved business resilience to a complex, digital risk environment
  • Improved quality and consistency of customer experience
  • Reduced duplication of risk processes
  • Unified accountability, ownership and understanding of risk across the three lines of defence

Key Takeaways:
  • Effective use of process, risk and controls to manage increasing stakeholder expectations

  • The value of lean and end-to-end thinking in driving better outcomes and increased efficiency
  • Encouraging process ownership, transparency and completeness such as hand-off points between processes

  • Using controls effectively to drive better customer outcomes while managing risk
  • Sharing ways to think around how to connect processes and customer journeys
  • Leverage structured thinking, simplified taxonomy and technology to better manage increasing expectations
