Cyber threats, AI acceleration and geopolitical instability are exposing how vulnerable organizations can become when pressure builds faster than systems, structures and decision-making are able to adapt.

For CFOs, resilience is no longer just about control or continuity. It raises broader leadership questions around adaptability, vulnerability and how organizations respond when certainty starts to disappear.

This interactive masterclass, hosted by Sijthoff Academy, opens with a fireside conversation with a CFO and senior business leader and Vincent Wanders, who will share firsthand perspectives on organizational resilience, disruption and leadership under pressure.

From there, the session shifts into an open exchange with fellow finance executives. Together, we explore where organizations are often more vulnerable than expected, why risks only become visible once pressure starts to build, and how AI, cyber risk and digital dependency are reshaping the balance between control and adaptability.

Drawing on expertise in leadership, organizational resilience and decision-making in complex environments, Sijthoff Academy will use these perspectives to guide a broader peer-to-peer discussion around resilience, uncertainty and navigating disruption in an increasingly unpredictable world.
