The whole board should consider joining an organization like OCEG

I've been to countless seminars, have achieved several certifications, but only OCEG has helped me understand myself and develop my people skills. Those skills are just as important as my GRC knowledge.

Gustiono K.
This was an awakening for me. I was speaking the wrong language. I was talking about risk and everyone else was talking about growth. Now I know how to connect the two. What a difference!

Karen C.
I never thought of my role as being a sales role. OCEG gave me the tools to build and sell the business case for not only GRC, but also risk, compliance and assurance.
