Risk Workout 2026 Autumn
Bring your CEO for free. Or bring another C-level / business colleague who should be part of the risk conversation
STARTS SEPTEMBER 30
ONLY 10 ORGANIZATIONS
Here's what our customers say
”We navigated from strategic integrity and core principles to very practical application of KPI, KRIs, and controls using real-life examples. It gave much of value for both of us - me and CTO”
— CRO, attended Risk Workout 2025 Autumn with CTO
”Risk Workout completely destroyed the old stereotypes of risk management. The best results are achieved when risk professionals and business leaders dive into the process together.
The biggest shift was seeing risk not as blindly following rules, but as a strategic business enabler that supports business integrity, sustainable growth and daily decisions.”
— Head of Risk & Compliance, attended Risk Workout 2026 Spring together with CEO
”This was the first time when I experienced open communication and practice sharing between direct or indirect competitors, and it was so natural and appreciated.”
— CEO, attended Risk Workout 2025 Autumn with CRO and CCO
This Program Is For You If...
Risk feels disconnected from daily business decisions
Your documentation exists but doesn't drive value
You want your CEO in the same room as your risk thinking
You need a structured space to pause and work deeply
Come with questions. Leave with solutions.
Risk becomes real when business and risk work together
Most risk professionals are expected to make risk useful for the business. But too often, they are asked to do it alone - building registers, writing policies, and producing reports that rarely change how decisions are made.
Risk Workout changes that. Each registered risk professional may bring one CEO, C-level or business colleague at no additional cost - because risk only becomes real when business and risk leaders work on the same questions together.
This is not passive training. It is a hands-on working journey where you apply expert guidance and peer exchange directly to your own business context, risk appetite, risk register, controls and reporting.
The problem we solve
Resilience
Anticipate disruption before it becomes a crisis
You have the documentation. But does it help the business?
Many organizations already have risk registers, policies, reporting frameworks, controls, and risk appetite statements. The real question is: do they actually help the business make better decisions? Risk Workout helps close the gap between risk documentation and business reality.
Strategy
Risk aligned with growth ambitions and long-term direction
Regulatory confidence
Meet expectations without sacrificing agility
Customer trust
Make risk management visible and credible externally
Third-parties reliability
Rethink third-party and ICT risk as a business reliability anchor
Daily Decisions
Embed risk thinking into decisions at every level
Guaranteed results
Risk Workout delivers outcomes across three interconnected dimensions giving your organization not just better documentation, but a fundamentally more useful risk practice.
Value for business
Documentary compliance
Confidence to build real practice
Powerful questions to shift mindset. Shared practices between peers. Expert feedback on your documentation. A clearer, more compelling way to involve business leaders in ongoing risk dialogue long after the program ends.
Risk strategy, appetite, policies, procedures and reporting aligned with business reality and regulatory expectations. Existing good practices translated into visible, credible risk management that satisfies both internal and external scrutiny.
Focus on real risks, dynamic risk context and key decisions. Risk categories and taxonomy calibrated to your business strategy. Key risks made visible and incorporated into management decisions. Best business practices recognized as efficient controls.
Guided by expert practitioners and partners
Risk Workout brings together complementary expertise in holistic risk leadership, board-level governance, enterprise risk, controls, ICT and third-party risk management. The program is led by Dr. Vilma Nasteckienė, with expert contributions from Dr. Annette M. Schüller and Rokas Muraška, and strengthened by Copla as ICT and third-party risk management partner.

Each workout session builds on the last — moving from strategic foundations through practical risk tools, outward to your broader business universe, and finally to the habits that sustain everything you've built.
Turn your risk register into a tool that supports real decisions. Work on how strategy translates into real risk priorities, what risks boards may be missing, control efficiency, and alignment of risk process with business reality and regulation.
Workout II
Value-Adding Risk Register
Align ambition, risk appetite, business reality and regulatory expectations. Work on how risk ategories and taxonomy are calibrated with business needs, key interdependencies and risk multipliers, and how to document risk strategy based on real context.
Workout I
Strategic Integrity & Risk Appetite
Workout III
Extending the Business Universe
Workout IV
Risk Mindset Evolution
Expand your risk lens beyond internal operations. Bring third parties, customers and external partners into your risk universe — because the risks that matter most often live at the edges of your organization.
Build the habits that keep risk useful after the program. Work on business practices that sustain resilience, embed customers and third parties into your risk universe, and define what to measure and monitor consciously going forward.
Four Workouts. One Transformative Arc.
Your journey
Who should join
This is for you, if you are
Risk professional:
CRO, compliance leader, operational risk, CISO, internal control, audit and governance professional who wants risk to influence real decisions
Business Leader:
CEO, founder, COO, CFO, CTO or senior colleague who wants risk to actively support growth and organizational resilience
From mature or growing organization:
Your company is scaling, transforming or facing increasing regulatory, cyber, AI or third-party complexity - where getting risk right matters most.
Risk Workout is designed for professionals who are ready to stop reporting risk in isolation and start making it genuinely useful for business decisions. The program delivers the most powerful results when a risk professional and a business leader join as a pair.
The cohort is intentionally limited to ten organizations - not as a marketing tactic, but as a structural commitment to depth. When the group is small, every session can be tailored to real contexts. Peer exchange becomes genuinely useful. Expert feedback goes deep rather than broad.
