Overview

Risk culture is a collective approach to managing risk and making decisions. It’s a system of beliefs, values and behaviours throughout your organisation. A positive risk culture is one where team members at every level appropriately manage risk as an integral part of their daily work routine. This type of culture supports open discussion about both uncertainties and opportunities and encourages team members to raise their concerns.

For risk management to be effective, culture must be a focus. So where do you start? How do you evaluate it and build an improvement plan?

You'll learn practical techniques to understand risk culture and how to build a plan to improve it.

To get the most out of the workshop, please attend our Risk Foundations session first, and read our Risk Culture guide [PDF, 1.32MB].

Session duration is 5 hours.
