The Gartner GC Leadership Series: The General Counsel's Blueprint for Navigating Emerging Risks
The role of general counsel (GC) extends far beyond providing legal support. While your primary objective is to help the business balance risk with benefit, only 17% of legal leaders feel confident in their ability to do so. To be truly effective, GC must develop robust decision-making frameworks, establish efficient information-sharing protocols and implement comprehensive executive governance and risk management processes. When executed correctly, these efforts empower the board and the business to confidently set strategy, minimize internal complexities and efficiently execute business priorities.
Join Gartner experts for this exclusive, three-day event series that’s tailored to GC leadership priorities. On day 1, learn about impactful steps GC can take to help improve board effectiveness. Return for day 2, where we’ll provide strategies that drive balanced growth and improve overall risk governance. Lastly, on day 3, join us as we explore how top legal departments empower their businesses to make informed decisions and take the right risks to drive growth. You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions, a copy of the research slides and recommended actions to help you achieve your goals.
