Program

Welcome and registration by the team of Summer School 2024.

Embark on a journey with An Gaiser as we navigate the ever-changing landscape of risk and compliance. An Gaiser’s approach offers a holistic view, combining scientific precision with practical insights. The unspoken becomes a powerful tool in deciphering motives, interests, and behavioral influences.

In the realm of ESG, where Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations reign supreme, An Gaiser’s methodology transcends the mundane. We often rely on tools and protocols, forgetting the heartbeat of our organizations—the human factor. Join us in exploring a presentation that not only recognizes the challenges of ESG terminology but elevates it by incorporating the essence of human dynamics.

This presentation is a unique opportunity to gain a nuanced understanding of how businesses can seamlessly weave the human factor into their risk frameworks. An Gaiser advocates for a comprehensive approach, dispelling the notion of standalone frameworks, and urging us to rediscover the significance of the human touch in our risk management strategies.

In the spirit of adaptability, let’s embrace the extraordinary power of non-verbal intelligence and investigative interviewing. It’s not just about decoding words; it’s about fostering trust, deepening understanding, and crafting effective risk management strategies tailored to our dynamic world.

Don’t miss out on this transformative experience. Join us and An Gaiser as we delve into the heart of risk and compliance, where science meets intuition, and the human factor takes center stage. Secure your spot now and be part of a conference that promises to redefine the way we approach risk in our organizations.

We analyze the complexities of integrity management and explain the benefits of a systems-based integrity approach.
