Msheireb Properties, a real estate subsidiary of Qatar Foundation, successfully hosted the fifth edition of the Annual Risk Management Forum at the Bait Bin Jelmood, in Msheireb Downtown Doha, aiming to mitigate risk and to induce systemic standards across a full breadth of industries.
The theme of this year’s forum addressed ‘Walking on Shifting Sand: Managing Uncertainties in the Region’. The challenges of managing risks in the ever changing regional and global economic environment and conditions, including the proposed methods and approaches for tackling constant change and ways of risk mitigation adaptation were outlined.
Now in its fifth year, the risk management forum has a growing reputation for effectively predicting and confronting the most prevalent threats facing organizations and the global business community. The 2016 event was attended by a large cross-section of business and risk management experts.
The diversity of delegates and guest speakers at this year’s affair added to lively schedule of activities. The panel of experts spoke on key risk management issues such as the future of risk management, risk culture building, risk leadership and business resilience modelling.
“I am truly proud of what we have achieved during the Forum. Through the resolve and the vision of Msheireb Properties, we have built this platform into the premier risk management symposium in the Gulf and will continue to leverage best practices from a diversity of industry leaders to mitigate risk and to induce systemic standards across a full breadth of industries.  "In 2016, we boasted a cavalcade of world-class thought leaders and decision makers from a multitude of sectors,” said Abdulla Hassan Al Mehshadi, CEO Msheireb Properties.
“This year’s forum, also served to remind the international business community that it is only through proactive engagement and meticulous planning that tangible benchmarks and outcomes emerge that precipitate effective implementation of discursive risk management practices. I am delighted that it is the 5th edition of the Forum that stands as the testament to this business culture evolution,” he added.
