Shifting Risk Culture Course

Getting Accountability From The Top Down

This workshop is for risk professionals tasked with developing or influencing an effective risk culture across the business.

What you will learn

  1. Understand what culture and specifically risk culture is and how culture affects organisations.
  2. Appreciate the pros and cons of various methods for assessing risk culture.
  3. How to design an effective program for embedding risk culture.
  4. Tips for implementing your risk culture program.

The key principle of risk management is that it creates and protects value. The challenge for risk professionals is that legacy cultures undervalue risk management. They see risk more as a compliance activity than something aligned to purpose, values and designed to help drive a successful strategy.

Culture—no matter how defined—is singularly persistent. And so, risk culture, as a subset of culture, eats risk management for lunch. Leaving you, the risk professional, wondering how you can change hearts and minds – fast.

This course will provide you with a multi-faceted approach to assessing and improving risk culture.  It will also give you the ability to develop forward-looking metrics to enable you to tangibly measure and evidence positive culture change. In turn, you will shift from being seen as corporate cop to corporate builder of a strong cultural fabric. Delivering a risk intelligent workforce.
