The Future of Human Risk Management: Market Landscape and the Role of Agentic AI

 

Human Risk Management is rapidly maturing from a compliance-driven function into a strategic market with board-level visibility. In this session, Forrester’s Jinan Budge and SimSpace's Graham Westbook explore the current state of the HRM market, where it is headed, and how organizations should prepare for the shifts ahead. Together, they highlight emerging opportunities and challenges in governance, accountability, and cultural resilience—while also examining the transformative role of agentic AI in reshaping how organizations measure, prioritize, and reduce risk at scale.
