Some risks hit out of nowhere. Others send a calendar invite. This talk is for anyone who’s ever logged a risk, escalated it, watched it go into the abyss — and then had front-row seats to the inevitable fallout. Whether you work in security, engineering, compliance, or any role that documents things “just in case,” you’ve probably witnessed a disaster that everyone saw coming… and still did nothing about. We’ll explore: – How to communicate urgency without sounding like you’re spiraling – How to document defensively (because your email thread will be in the postmortem) – How to navigate the stall – even when action isn’t prioritzed & delay is the norm This isn’t just a talk. It’s group therapy, with action items.
