Leadership

This page names the people who hold accountable roles at The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), but only where a current authorization and a biography are on record. Until a name is supported in that way, the page describes the role, what it is accountable for and how to reach it. The same rule applies to both organizations of GCRI, GCRI Canada and GCRI US. That is deliberate: a title on a website is not a record, and a leadership listing should be something a reader can rely on. Return to About GCRI.

01In brief

The short answer.

GCRI leadership is the set of accountable roles in GCRI Canada and GCRI US, named on this page only where a current authorization and a biography are on record. Until then, each role is described by what it is accountable for and how to reach it, because a title on a website is not an authorization.

How The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation is governedA mandate sets the platform's scope; an editor and reviewers govern what it publishes; programmes and the community supply the work; the integrity route handles corrections; authority over decisions stays outside. Design of the governance, not a record.

06Programme leadership

Leadership in the programme is a separate pathway.

Individual leaders in national programmes take part through the National Leadership Council (NLC) in personal capacity, selected through a defined process; see Leadership pathway. Leadership dialogue and councils across the programme are led by The Global Risks Forum (GRF); see its leadership and councils. Council standing does not buy office, employment, a board seat or restricted data.

07Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
Board of directorsThe body legally responsible for governing an organization, overseeing its management and answering for its conduct under its statutes and the law of its jurisdiction.
Conflict of interestA situation in which financial, professional or personal interests could compromise, or appear to compromise, judgement in research or review.
RecusalWithdrawing from a decision or task because of a conflict of interest.
08Governance

Where decisions are recorded.

Accountable roles act within the limits of their authorization. A role holder who has a declared conflict in a matter does not sign the decision or acceptance it concerns, and a complaint about a decision is reviewed by someone who was not responsible for it. How each organization is governed is set out on Board and governance, and decision records, interests and corrections on Public accountability.

09Questions

Questions and answers.

Why are no names shown?
Names are shown only with a current authorization and biography on record. This avoids presenting titles that a reader cannot rely on.
Who is accountable for privacy?
The Interim Privacy Officer of GCRI Canada, at privacy@therisk.global.
Does a leadership title give authority over national programmes?
No. National programmes hold their own agenda and decision rights. GCRI roles are accountable for GCRI's own work, records and services, and act within written scopes when they support a national programme.
Can I nominate someone for a leadership role?
Leadership in national programmes follows the NLC pathway. Nominations to GRF councils are described on its nominations page.
