In this episode of Risk Is Our Business, Michael Rasmussen beams into EY Germany to speak with Patrick Risch and Benjamin Lüders, two senior officers on the frontier of governance, risk, and compliance transformation. Together, they explore how to navigate the multidimensional challenges of orchestrating GRC across systems, silos, and starships, otherwise known as modern enterprises. Their mission is to create a unified command structure where GRC isn't just a regulatory afterthought, but an enterprise-wide operating model aligned with strategy, resilience, and purpose. From aligning core processes to enabling agility with cutting-edge technology, Patrick and Benjamin map out how successful organizations are shifting from fragmented control systems to integrated, mission-ready frameworks. They also introduce the concept of digital twins, not as a sci-fi abstraction, but as real-time simulations of organizational ecosystems that help leaders monitor, adapt, and course-correct with greater precision. It’s a new model of GRC that reflects the living, breathing dynamics of business. Finally, they reflect on the unique risks and opportunities facing German companies as they transition from traditional governance models to more dynamic, tech-enabled approaches. It's a sector where regulations are strict, expectations high, and the path to transformation requires both cultural alignment and technological firepower. If your enterprise is preparing for deep space exploration, or simply the next compliance cycle, this episode offers a navigational chart for GRC leaders ready to break free of orbit.
