Tor Inge Vasshus, the Founder and CEO of Corporater presented his keynote on ‘Driving Success: Integrating GRC with Strategy Execution in a Hyperconnected World’ at the third annual G[P]RC Summit 2025.
In this keynote, Tor Inge discusses integrating Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) with strategy execution to navigate an increasingly complex and interconnected world. He begins by drawing parallels to the Vikings, who thrived due to their strategic navigation, agility, and preparedness. Just as they used advanced ships and navigation tools to explore and trade, modern organizations must develop situational awareness and proactive strategies to manage emerging risks, such as geopolitical instability, technological disruption, and regulatory challenges. By understanding global trends and leveraging effective governance models, businesses can turn uncertainties into opportunities.
Further on, he introduces the GPRC model, a framework that connects governance, performance, risk, and compliance into a unified system, and emphasizes how organizations must move beyond siloed risk management approaches to adopt integrated digital solutions, such as digital twins, to enhance strategic decision-making.
