Emerging Behavioural Risks: Why Culture is the New Control

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.

Who should attend

Middle and senior-level managers, risk officers, compliance officers, and professionals responsible for implementing or overseeing risk management processes.

• Assess organizational behaviours and mindsets that influence risk management
• Translate risk policies into practical actions and day-to-day decision-making
