Culture: The Missing Link in Risk Management

Statement of Need

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast,” Peter Drucker. No matter how robust your risk management policies or processes are, they will fail if your organization lacks a risk-aware culture. Employees may overlook emerging risks, bypass controls, or make decisions that undermine strategic objectives.

This program, Culture: The Missing Link in Risk Management, empowers managers and risk professionals to embed risk awareness into everyday behaviours, translate policy into practice, and build a culture where proactive risk management drives better decisions, accountability, and organizational resilience.
