About the series

Risk management is something everyone already does.

GRC in the Wild is a game show from SimpleRisk. Host Josh Sokol takes two friends who don't do governance, risk, and compliance for a living, Eric Davie and Matthew Meyer, into Algonquin Provincial Park and up the CN Tower.

Over two days they build a risk register, sort animals into preventive, detective, and corrective controls, argue about a 1917 mystery, and learn why most post-incident reviews fail. Then they present to a board.
