Topic: Building a Resilient Risk Culture - An Interactive Approach
Join us for this interactive presentation on how to build a resilient risk culture at your organization. Steps to be covered include:
 
  • Explore current and evolving risks that impact both the success and failure of the global marketplace.
  • Leaders should actively participate in risk discussions (threats as well as opportunities) and make decisions that reflect the organization’s risk appetite.
  • Encourage employees to explore positive risks (opportunities), to report negative risks (threats) without fear of retribution, and consider possible trade-offs around uncertainty.
  • Provide ongoing education on risk frameworks, tools, and decision-making.
  • Reward teams that identify and mitigate risks early.
  • Continuously evaluate the strength of your organization’s risk culture through surveys, audits, strategic objectives, and performance feedback loops.
  • Adjust policies and practices based on employee feedback and evolving threats.
