For years, organizations have invested heavily in risk and resilience, yet many teams still struggle with stale information, low engagement, fragmented operational visibility, and growing pressure to deliver faster, more strategic insight.
After spending decades working with complex organizations, Brian Zawada and Rob Giffin believed the industry wasn’t facing a data problem, it was facing a context problem.
This session explores the thinking that led to the creation of Contxt Risk, certainly not as a commercial but what motivated them to start a second business together. It will examine several entrenched challenges that Brian and Rob believe persist today, continuing to limit traditional risk and resilience operating models, including:
• Point-in-time assessments
• Disconnected repositories
• Survey and interview fatigue
• Limited operational awareness
• The growing gap between organizational complexity and human capacity
Rather than presenting AI as simply another productivity tool, this session explores how agentic AI may fundamentally reshape risk and resilience by enabling continuous organizational awareness, contextual understanding and faster decision support at scale.
Attendees will leave with a practical and thought-provoking perspective on:
• Where traditional resilience approaches are struggling
• Why many current AI conversations are missing the bigger opportunity
• How agentic AI could become a force multiplier for resilience professionals, not a replacement for them
