DACT Academy | Risk Management and Leadership in the Digital Age
Risk management and leadership in the digital age
Challenge your thinking on risk, technology & leadership
Technology is transforming the world around us. AI is changing how we analyse risk, make decisions and lead organisations. Stablecoins are challenging traditional financial systems. And with all the data and sophisticated models at our fingertips, are we really making better decisions?
On Thursday 12 November, DACT invites you to step away from your daily treasury responsibilities and return to the classroom for an inspiring day of fresh perspectives, thought-provoking lectures and stimulating discussions.
