An Agenda for Future Research in Internal Auditing


Professor Gerrit Sarens PhD, CIA,CCSA Universite’ Catholique de Louvain and visiting Professor for University Malaya


GS 1: Naked Leadership


Neil Jacobsohn
Joint CEO, FutureWorld South Africa Partner
FutureWorld International
SOUTH AFRICA

In the new age of openness and transparency, everyone — and increasingly, everything — is connected and active. There really is no place to hide! Digital technologies create profound impacts on leadership and management of organizations, and on the modern leader; they splinter and diffuse old paradigms, yet link the world into a single and chaotic global network. Blogs, wikis, crowdsourcing, augmented reality, and social networks are changing the entire nature of communication in and with the marketplace.


In this session participants will:

  • Hear how digital technologies create profound impacts on leadership and management of organizations.
  • Discover the massive new market opportunities created by technologies and the possibility to lead anywhere in the network.
  • Get practical insight into the realities of leadership in the uber-networked world.
  • Learn to develop a specific roadmap for your business to thrive in the fast-paced, technology-driven business world.

GS 4: Making the Toughest Decisions


Joseph L. Badarucco
John Shad Professor of Business Ethics
Harvard Business School
Cambridge, MA,
USA

For professionals who take their responsibilities seriously, the most difficult decisions are not issues of right and wrong; they are conflicts between right and right. These situations are challenging because responsibilities pull hard in different directions, the stakes can be very high, and often the decision maker is in the spotlight of disclosure or publicity.


In this session participants will:

  • Get an overview of the GTP and the six National Key Result Areas (NKRA).
  • Explore several mini-cases that show the basic elements of right-versus-right problems.
  • Learn about a framework for making these decisions in responsible, practical ways.


GS 5: Internal Audit: Ensuring Mission Success


Donald McMonagle
Program Director, NASA and Range Systems
Raytheon Technical Services Co.
USA

Successful internal auditors understand their organization’s overall environment now, as well as in the future, and proactively advise their stakeholders on risks. The U.S. Space Program is one of the most complex technical environments in human history, where unmitigated and unidentified risk can mean catastrophic failure and loss of life. As a former Space Shuttle Commander and NASA senior executive who manages Space Shuttle Launch Integration, Don McMonagle understands the importance of risk.


In this session participants will:

  • Hear about the space program successes and failures.
  • Understand how culture and communication are critical to thorough risk identification and disaster avoidance.
  • Learn how the space program embedded risk management throughout the organization.
  • Explore tactics used by the space program to avoid the complacency that can develop over time within any organization.


GS 6: Creating a Culture of CourageTM: The New Leadership Challenge


Cindy Solomon
President, Solomon & Associates Inc.
USA

As companies are demanding that employees take more risks, do more with less, and try to anticipate the future, courage has become a critical and often overlooked element of every leader's skill set. We can no longer be averse to taking risks or remain complacent in any organization, for success depends almost entirely on our ability to make difficult decisions confidently and quickly. Research shows that everyone can build "courage skills" and help create the strong, productive organizations needed to succeed in today's changing environment.


In this session participants will:

  • Hear how courage is becoming a critical job skill.

  • Discover how everyone can build "courage skills."
  • Explore how to use the different types of courage effectively to embrace change and meet the demands of the new world order.
  • Learn how to create an organization that thrives on change and learns with every decision it makes
