I am excited to announce the launch of the DRI ASEAN & GCC e-News, a dedicated platform for knowledge sharing among members.
This initiative is designed to facilitate the exchange of experiences, insights, and practical expertise in areas such as business resilience—including BCM, risk management, crisis management, cyber resilience, IT DRP, and supply chain resilience—GRC (governance, risk, and compliance), and ESG (environmental, social, and governance).
As these subjects gain increasing importance for global executives amid unprecedented risks and a rapidly changing business environment, fostering connections and shared learning is essential. Through this professional endeavor, we seek to enable continuous growth, sustainable recovery, and collective advancement in responding to today’s uncertainties and challenges.
The DRI ASEAN & GCC e-Newsletter will provide a high-quality digital publication on a quarterly basis, featuring contributions from professionals across diverse sectors in both regions. Our objectives include highlighting varied perspectives, encouraging engagement with DRI’s events and activities, and promoting a resilient community through shared expertise and collaboration.
We invite all members to submit articles related to Business Resilience, GRC, and ESG. Submissions may consist of:
- Brief personal reflections offering actionable insights and lessons learned;
- Thought leadership on emerging trends, risks, continuity, and resilience;
- Perspectives that enhance industry development and individual professional growth.
Selected entries will be published in forthcoming editions and distributed to our ASEAN and GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) members.
Thank you for your support and participation in this initiative. Together, we will build a valuable resource leveraging our collective expertise to strengthen an adaptive and resilient community.
Kind regards,
Carol Chia
