The Connect Magazine November Edition 2026 explores how risk management is adapting to an environment shaped by artificial intelligence, geopolitical uncertainty, operational complexity and accelerating technological change.

This edition examines the widening impact of AI across financial services, from governance, regulation and model risk to workforce transformation and organisational accountability. Contributors explore why institutions must rethink traditional approaches to risk management as emerging technologies, fintech innovation and evolving regulatory expectations create new challenges for boards, executives and risk leaders.

Featuring insights from senior leaders across banking, financial services, technology and risk management, the issue also reflects on the evolution of the profession itself. Articles explore the growing importance of collaboration, resilience and cross-functional decision-making, while examining how organisations can better identify emerging risks, close governance gaps and strengthen oversight in an increasingly interconnected world.
