Thought leadership webinar

Life beyond spreadsheets: The next decade of risk management.

Thursday, October 23 | 11:00am-12:00pm ET (10am CT / 8am PT)

For too long, risk teams have relied on spreadsheets. They’re familiar, but they’re also fragile; they're disconnected, error-prone, and unsustainable as organizations scale. 

The next decade demands a smarter approach. Risk leaders need systems that deliver accuracy, transparency, and the ability to adapt as risks evolve. Yet many teams hesitate, worried that moving away from spreadsheets will be complex, disruptive, or simply not worth the effort. 

In this webinar, we’ll explore what life looks like beyond spreadsheets. 

Drawing on global research and customer experience, Protecht’s Michael Howell and Ryan Knapton will share how risk management is changing, how perceptions can hold teams back, and how Protecht ERM helps replace spreadsheet burdens with a simpler, scalable, integrated solution.
