In this episode of Navigating Risk, host Helen Yates is joined by Lucy Thomas and Callum Cooke to explore the growing threat posed by digital supply chain cyber risk and the steps organisations can take to strengthen resilience.

As businesses become increasingly reliant on third-party technology providers, cloud platforms and digital services, cyber risk no longer sits solely within an organisation's own network. A single supplier breach can have far-reaching operational, financial and reputational consequences, impacting multiple organisations simultaneously.

Lucy and Callum discuss why supply chain cyber risk should be considered a core business risk rather than simply an IT issue. They explore how organisations can improve supplier oversight, strengthen incident response planning and better prepare for the complex challenges that arise when disruption originates outside their direct control.

The conversation also examines the role of cyber insurance, not only in managing financial losses, but in providing access to specialist legal, forensic, communications and incident response expertise when organisations need it most.

An insight-rich episode for senior business leaders looking to strengthen organisational resilience, improve supply chain oversight and prepare for an increasingly interconnected cyber threat landscape.

In this episode of Navigating Risk, host Luca Rosi is joined by Chris Andrew, Strategic Planning & Communication Consulting Lead at Gallagher, and Michelle Sequeira, Proposition Growth Leader for EVP, to discuss how organisations can reimagine Employee Value Proposition (EVP) to meet the evolving needs of today's workforce

EVP is often mistaken for a benefits package or employer branding initiative. As Chris and Michelle explain, a modern EVP is far broader serving as the strategic framework that aligns workforce expectations, organisational purpose and brand promise. By connecting these elements, EVP becomes the foundation for a consistent, credible and engaging employee experience.

This episode explores:
• A practical definition of EVP, and why clarity matters
• How to close the gap between stated EVP commitments and employees' lived experiences
• Why fairness, transparency and authenticity are essential to a credible EVP
• How EVP is likely to evolve as organisations become increasingly data‑led and skills‑focused

The discussion provides a structured, forward‑looking perspective on how EVP can help organisations manage people risk, strengthen culture and support future workforce requirements.
