Webinar: Why geopolitical conflict is now a business risk

02.09.2026
14th October 2026 9:00AM
Geopolitical conflict is reshaping how organisations operate - affecting mobility, duty of care, and business continuity.

New research from Healix's Risk Radar report found that 58% of organisations have faced pressure to make decisions in response to geopolitical conflict, while almost two-thirds have experienced operational disruption linked to global instability.

For risk and security leaders, the challenge is no longer whether geopolitical events will affect their organisation, but how quickly they can identify emerging threats, understand their potential impact, and respond effectively.

Join this webinar to explore the latest findings from Risk Radar 2027 and learn how leading organisations are strengthening resilience to prepare for a future where the impact of conflict is increasingly an operational reality.

Audience takeaways:

  • Understand how conflict is impacting business operations
  • Explore the gap between geopolitical exposure and organisational preparedness
  • Examine the challenges organisations face when geopolitical events require public positions, operational changes or clear guiding principles
  • Find out how the move towards deglobalisation is shaping business operations, mobility and risk
  • Discuss the role of intelligence, visibility and decision-making during fast-moving events
