Using risk management to influence decisions

Registration

WHEN: Wednesday 27 November, 9:00-17:00
WHERE: 52 Horseferry Rd, Westminster, London SW1P 2AF

The standard approach to risk management has evolved in recent years, with the use of modern computing power to help us challenge our human-based assumptions, together with concepts such as risk appetite and tolerance to help drive the risk culture we desire within our organisations.

This workshop explores the latest developments in key aspects of risk management required by a senior leader.

These include:

  • How to challenge your organisation's risk profile: what should you expect from the risk committee meeting?
  • What is risk appetite and tolerance: how do you get it to be meaningful within your organisation?
  • Building a risk culture: how does this differ from an organisational culture?
  • Range of relevant case studies from sectors such as aerospace, construction, charities, governments, natural resources and finance.
