Agility, Resilience, and the Unseen Flow: Mastering Third-Party Risk in the Spirit of The Water Book

Inspired by Miyamoto Musashi’s Water Book, this session reframes Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) through the lens of adaptability and flow. Rather than relying on rigid frameworks and static controls, we’ll explore how resilience is built through agility—by anticipating disruption, not reacting to it. Like water, effective TPRM should be responsive, balanced, and constantly in motion. We’ll examine practical strategies for creating a flexible, intelligence-driven approach to managing third-party ecosystems—one that aligns with modern risk realities and moves beyond checkbox compliance. This is about shifting mindset. Because in a world where risk moves fast, rigidity fails—and resilience flows.
