Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) is a business requisite because it combines these important elements – good governance, risk management and compliance – into an integrated framework so that the right people are getting the right information at the right time. It gives leaders the tools, information and insights they need to manage threats, make better, risk-informed decisions, and act with integrity. When these pieces of the accountability puzzle fit together, the bigger picture becomes clear, not only to the senior decision-makers but to everyone involved in the company, who can see how their insights, operations and conduct align with broader business objectives. The result is increased stability in business performance, a more responsible and resilient workforce, and measurable improvements in organizational efficiency and effectiveness.

Who Uses GRC?

The GRC market has skyrocketed in recent years and isn’t slowing down any time soon. In fact, with the growing adoption of automated and out-of-the-box GRC solutions, the global market is expected to reach $64.61 billion by 2025.

The popularity of GRC can be attributed, in large part, to its ability to adapt to changing business needs and provide deployable solutions to a variety of customers, including public and private organizations, large and small. While some people may presume that GRC is solely used by Operations and IT personnel, this is not the case. GRC touches everyone within an organization, as well as those within its orbit (including the board of directors and shareholders), play a role in its implementation and evaluation.

Senior executives, including the CEO and COO in consultation with the leadership team, set the strategic objectives and values for an organization, and identify and manage external and internal risks.

What We Learned

From recent insights gathered, we learned that ServiceNow customers are increasingly receptive to adopting AI solutions and ServiceNow has the tools to embrace that head on. However, there's a gap in AI use-cases for more mature users, highlighting the need for a creative approach to accommodate their business needs.

In navigating AI adoption, organizations are challenged to find the delicate balance between embracing innovation and avoiding dependency on emerging technologies. Advisory consulting and trusted guidance beyond initial queries spark interest, particularly around AI's impact on operations. Read our AI blog series to learn more about our approach.
