There is something obvious about stating that converging technologies is to the benefit of the business. In a previous webinar we examined some of the challenges that ESRM faces, here we specifically look at the role of people, specifically how critical soft skills are in making a converged approach work. There has been a lack of attention to a blueprint as to how humans might best optimise effective technology integration and some at least are floundering. This should not be surprising, after all there will inevitably be challenges in getting teams who historically distrust each other to work together especially if they lack models of good practice. This webinar will discuss:

The extent to which convergence is undermined by a lack of attention to people factors
The issues that present challenges to effective collaboration on technology
What a positive way forward may look like to harness the benefits convergence can provide

Panellists:
Emma Boakes – PhD Research Student at University of Portsmouth (UK)
Louisa Schneller – Risk & Security Management Software Consultant at TeamMacro OÜ (Czechia)
