The SGV Knowledge Institute, in partnership with SGV Consulting, hosted “Harmony in Action: Navigating Enterprise Resilience through Governance, Risk, and Compliance Synergy” at the Makati Diamond Residences.
The forum gathered corporate, board, and regulatory leaders to discuss how integrated Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), supported by responsible AI, can strengthen enterprise resilience in a fast-evolving business landscape.
Framed around the metaphor of an orchestra, the event emphasized the need for governance functions to operate in harmony to address today’s non-linear, accelerated, volatile, and interconnected (NAVI) risk environment. SGV Knowledge Institute leader and financial crime risk management leader Veronica Arce-Balisi hosted the program.
SGV country managing partner Rossana A. Fajardo opened the event by stressing that GRC should be treated as an integrated system that brings rhythm and cohesion to enterprise strategy.
“Just like in a symphony, each section of governance must play its part with clarity and unity to achieve true resilience,” she said.
Speakers during the first panel, “GRC Integration: Aligning Governance, Risk, and Compliance with Business Strategy,” highlighted leadership alignment and culture as critical to strengthening resilience across risk, compliance, and audit teams.
Succeeding discussions underscored the need for stronger capabilities, improved controls around sustainability data, and technology investments anchored in long-term value.
SGV deputy managing partner and strategy and transactions leader Noel P. Rabaja stressed that GRC, AI, and board governance are interdependent pillars of resilience, reminding leaders that “effective governance doesn’t happen in silos; it happens when each element plays its part, distinct yet harmonious.”
