Agility 2020 Highlights

DESCRIPTION

In the age of COVID-19, virtual conferences reign supreme — without the handshaking, warm hugs and mingling breaks, are they as compelling and worthwhile to attend?

When the content is as relevant and valuable as it was at Agility 2020, LogicGate’s first-ever virtual user conference, the answer is an easy yes.

Couldn’t make it? Tune in to this special episode of GRC & Me with host Megan Phee for highlights from the engaging conference that featured a line-up of notable hosts, including LogicGate’s all-star leadership team: CEO Matt Kunkel, VP of Product Management Mark Tattersall and CFO Kevin Jacobson.

Through riveting presentations, the leaders addressed the current state of the GRC space, where it’s going and how LogicGate Risk Cloud™ can build a new path forward.

Listen as Matt discusses the importance of enterprise risk management in the emergence of the risk cloud, as Mark explains how vital customer feedback is during product development, and as Kevin shares his journey with the risk cloud to more effective vendor management.

While next year’s plans develop, ponder this: What do you want to learn at LogicGate’s 2021 user conference to sufficiently strengthen your organization’s risk protocols in an evolving and post-pandemic environment?

Matt Kunkel

👨‍💻 What he does: CEO, LogicGate

💭 Key quote: According to LogicGate's 2020 research report, “88% of CEOs say that enterprise risk management is extremely important to their organization. However, less than half of them say they have an effective ERM program in place in their organization, which can help get ahead of the risks and the threats.”

Mark Tattersall

📦 What he does: VP of Product Management, LogicGate

💭 Key quote: “As the product team, [we] love when we hear from our customers about the smallest or biggest things. Often the best ideas come from our customers; the people who are using the platform every day.”

Kevin Jacobson

💰What he does: CFO, LogicGate

💭 Key quote: Because of LogicGate Risk Cloud™, “all of the business partners that are involved in [the vendor management] process are now spending less of their energy on all the things we spent on the left-hand side of this slide, and they're reinvesting that in more strategic areas for them to do their work.”

GRC Highlights

💻 Agility 2020 was LogicGate’s first-ever virtual user conference. If you missed it this year, don’t sweat it — these clips from LogicGate leadership presentations give you a peek at some of the awesome content. Hang tight; plans for a user conference in 2021 are already underway!

💻 GRC is at a crossroads, says Matt Kunkel, and the number of risks organizations face daily increases at a rapid pace. To thrive in this new paradigm and get ahead of risks and threats, organizational digital transformation strategies need to be executed with ERM today — not years from now.

💻 For Mark Tattersall and his team, their product development is nothing without customer feedback. “Nothing is too small. No request is too big. We love reading it. We read and discuss every single one ... so keep firing away,” said Mark while explaining how to share feedback through the platform.

💻 When Kevin Jacobson wanted to better structure LogicGate’s vendor management approach, the biggest factor — from a financial ROI perspective — was a strong system that could create a more efficient vendor management process and streamline their ability to plug in all the necessary key cross-functional stakeholders. That’s exactly what he got (and more!) with the risk cloud.
