In this workshop you will be given a process for embedding a risk culture that reflects the values of your organisation.

This workshop is for

Risk professionals tasked with developing or influencing risk culture across the business.

Course Overview

The key principle of risk management is that it creates and protects value. It does so by helping the business to take the right risks for the right reasons. And it is sustained through a strong culture of risk-based decision making. An embedded risk culture.

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.

As strategy specialist Peter Drucker said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. And so, risk culture, as a subset of culture, eats risk management for lunch. The best designed risk framework in the world will not deliver for an organisation if senior leaders and staff do not see it as part of their cultural fit. Aligned to the organisation’s values.

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.

Please note that this course is now being delivered online. Attendees will receive a zoom invitation to participate in the 'face to face' aspect of the course online after registering. We can assure you that despite being online, we provide a high quality experience presented by Bryan Whitefield, a leader in the risk industry.

"It wasn't only the theory, but the application across different organisations. So you didn't walk away with just the view of how it works in your organisation, you saw how adaptable things were and how they worked across different organisations. In general, the whole concept of online learning is great. This is remarkably efficient and I for one am appreciative of the efforts being made of putting together a course like this, especially at short notice because of COVID-19 disruption."

- Mike Gouws: Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment
