About the Summit

​

The GPRC Summit is the world’s largest summit on GPRC: GRC integrated with Performance and Strategy. It brings together senior executives, GRC experts, and professionals from industry and academia from around the world to share perspectives, innovative solutions, and best practices needed to drive organizational success and resilience in an increasingly complex and interconnected business environment. This year’s summit will focus on the theme “Strategic Path to Business Resilience and Superior Performance in an AI-Driven Future.”

​

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, organizations face multiple pressures, ranging from regulatory complexities to disruptive market forces, including emerging AI technologies. At the regional level, in the GCC, a paradigm shift is underway where sustainability, accountability, and regulatory compliance are moving beyond mere marketing terms to become integral to the very core of organizational strategy. This is reflected in the ambitious goals of the Saudi Vision 2030, which ensure transparency, accountability, and effective risk management by organizations to achieve the vision’s objectives of economic diversification, social transformation, and technological innovation. The risk of noncompliance is simply too high, both socially and financially, and ensuring organizational resilience has never been more crucial.

​

To navigate this terrain successfully, it is imperative that companies not only ensure governance, manage performance, mitigate risks, and maintain regulatory compliance, but also transform themselves into a "connected enterprise." A "connected enterprise" is a holistic approach to efficient and effective business management, where governance, performance, risk management, and regulatory compliance are seamlessly integrated, facilitating strategic alignment, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making. In a connected enterprise, all aspects of the business, from strategy to execution, are connected and aligned, fostering agility, adaptability, and business resilience.

​
