The Risk Culture Paradox: Making Progress on the Risk Agenda in Complex Environments

About this course

Chief Risk Officers (CROs) and their teams have invested heavily in building risk management capabilities and implementing frameworks such as 3LOD. Yet there remains a significant disconnect between the quality of risk capabilities and the quality of risk outcomes – well documented by the Hayne Royal Commission and underscored frequently by headlines in the financial and business press.

In an effort to address this disconnect, CROs and their teams are turning their attention to risk culture - how culture influences risk management and risk outcomes.
