The risk culture of an organisation is an integral part of the organisation’s overall culture. It takes many years for practices, assumptions and attitudes to shape the risk culture. To fully embed risk culture change initiatives across the organisation is also a long term and complex process. In addition, changing risk culture has implications for how the risks associated with poor organisational culture and behaviours are managed.
In this session, Enda Twomey shared guidance on how to identify the key levers for understanding and changing the risk culture of an organisation and developments in culture and behavioural risk management. Enda covered following topics during the session: –
- The importance of culture and behaviours in in organisational performance and implications for risk management.
- What do we mean by culture and risk culture?
- How is risk culture being assessed within Financial Institutions
- How the disciplines of organisational psychology and risk management are merging to manage culture and behavioural risk.
- Implications for Operational Risk Managers
