Agentic Risk Webinar 2 of 4: Agentic Risk Appetite and Adoption Strategy

From the board to the operational workflow, firms that build an agentic risk capability will find it easier to scale the benefits of autonomous AI, with fewer surprises and stronger regulatory defensibility. This begins with clarifying how much autonomy you are prepared to delegate.

Autonomous AI agents plan and execute workflows, fundamentally reshaping risk management by shifting control from a process’s execution phase to its design and oversight phases.
In this webinar, we will deep-dive into the sources of risk when delegating autonomy to non-humans.

Using a practical 3-step approach, you will learn how to integrate agentic risk into your risk appetite-setting processes:

Define a board-level risk appetite statement.
Embed it into workflow-level risk assessments.
Institute agentic key risk indicators.
To finish, we will explore tips for agentic AI adoption strategies, key steps in an agentic transformation, and general success factors.

• Discover how to set a risk appetite for delegating autonomy to AI agents across different parts of your organisation, as well as the importance of governance and accountability.
