Michael Rasmussen, the GRC Analyst and Pundit, GRC 20/20 Research LLC., presented his keynote on ‘The Future of Business, the Future of GRC’ at the third annual G[P]RC Summit 2025.

In this keynote presentation, Michael Rasmussen discusses the future of business and GRC, emphasizing the need for organizations to navigate chaos effectively. He highlights the interconnected nature of risks and stresses the importance of moving beyond a rear-view mirror approach to risk management and focusing on objectives and strategy, encapsulated in the GPRC model (Governance, Performance, Risk, and Compliance).

He calls for a shift towards business-integrated GRC, where GRC is not a siloed function but an integrated part of business management and encourages organizations to assess their current state and develop a roadmap to achieve a more mature and integrated approach to GRC.
