On-Demand Webinar | Your GRC AI Just Made a Decision. Can You Explain It? With Mitratech

On-Demand Webinar | Your GRC AI Just Made a Decision. Can You Explain It?

Your AI produced an output. A risk score. A compliance flag. A board summary.

Can you verify it?

Not “do you trust it” that’s a different question. Can you trace how it got there, point to the source data, and explain the reasoning to a regulator or your board?

For most organisations, the honest answer is: not really.

That gap is what regulators are closing in on. It’s what boards are starting to demand. And it’s the conversation we’re having now!

Join Jan Stappers, Executive Vice President, GRC Solutions Strategy alongside Luis Carlos Nino, Principal Analyst at Verdantix, for an honest, practical conversation about what’s really changing in GRC, and what it means for risk, compliance, and governance leaders right now.

What you’ll take away:

What Verdantix is seeing across GRC programmes globally: the patterns, the pressure points, and where organisations are falling short on AI accountability
The “agentic AI” reality check: what vendors are claiming, what it actually means, and why the distinction matters enormously for audit and governance
Why transparency and auditability are moving from best practice to regulatory requirement, and what that looks like in practice
Board reporting in 2026: what good looks like when your GRC data is connected across risk, compliance, policy, and third parties
Global regulatory developments every global GRC programme should be watching right now
A first look at how Mitratech’s connected GRC platform addresses these challenges: live demo from Senior GRC Consultant Jared Howe

#MillenniumLive: The Limitless CMO: Rebuilding Marketing to Scale Impact in the Age of AI with 2X

In this #MillenniumLive conversation, Lisa Cole of 2X joins The Millennium Alliance to discuss the operating-model shift modern CMOs need to make as expectations accelerate and traditional resource models break down. Drawing from The Limitless CMO, Lisa will unpack why marketing leaders are being asked to deliver more pipeline, more personalization, more speed, and more AI-enabled efficiency – often without the budget or headcount to match.

The episode will focus on how CMOs can move from order-taking to market-making by running marketing like a business, redesigning work around outcomes instead of org charts, using strategic outsourcing to expand capability, and applying AI as a force multiplier rather than a collection of disconnected tools.

Key Themes:

The marketing resource paradox: rising expectations with constrained budgets and headcount
Moving from order-taking to market-making
MAPS: running marketing like a professional services business
Strategic outsourcing as capability expansion, not cost reduction
AI as a force multiplier – and why random acts of AI are not enough
Building a Limitless Operating Model with people, partners, platforms, and AI

A New Standard for Global Location Intelligence with Dataplor

Contributed by Dataplor

Location intelligence has evolved into a critical layer of business intelligence. Organizations across industries now rely on an understanding of where places exist, how people move through the physical world, and the ensuing market structure to guide decisions on growth, investment, risk, and operations. What has changed is not the importance of location data, but the scale, speed, and complexity at which decisions are now made.

Historically, many organizations relied on static maps, limited datasets, or narrowly scoped analytics tools to answer location based questions. These approaches were often sufficient for single-country analysis, periodic planning cycles, or highly technical teams. Today, those same approaches break down in the face of global expansion, rapid market shifts, tighter margins, and increased regulatory scrutiny.

Download the whitepaper here to explore how leading organizations are redefining location intelligence to drive smarter, faster, and more scalable business decisions.

About Dataplor

Dataplor is a global location intelligence provider delivering precise, verified data on 370M+ places and 15K+ brands across 250+ countries and territories. Our datasets offer point-of-interest (POI) information, foot traffic trends, brand attributes, polygons, and trade areas at scale.

How to Reduce Your Fleet Size by 15-20% While Maintaining Full Capacity with Ugowork

Contributed by Ugowork

Most operations are paying for a fleet that’s 25% larger than what’s actually running. That’s $12-15K per truck per year, invisible on a standard P&L.

Our partners at UgoWork build the cloud-connected lithium-ion batteries that close that visibility gap. They surface kWh utilization, charging efficiency and battery-health data at the truck and shift level, so fleet decisions stop running on assumptions.

David Mucciacciaro, Stephan Dumont and JF Marchand will be at our Digital Supply Chain Transformation Assembly in Houston, June 3-4, ready to talk fleet ROI with the supply chain leaders working through the same math.

Read their complete guide to data-driven MHE fleet management ahead of the event.

Also make sure to attend JF Marchand’s workshop, The Cost of Standing Still: How Connected MHE Data Is Redefining Fleet Economics. JF will dig into the math of a Tier-1 3PL’s fleet right sizing and energy management strategy, leading to a projected $21.8M saving through 2030.

Thursday, June 4 at 9:55 AM, Houston. Worth the 30 minutes if you manage MHE budgets. Request an invite here.
