Session Description:

Early Release Info on the New Global Risk Culture Standard

 

In today’s fast-paced and interconnected world, a high-performing risk culture has become more critical than ever. Rapid advancements in technology, globalisation, and supply chain interconnectivity have all heightened dependencies, while the rise of cybercrime, the influence of social media, and shifts in systems of work have all introduced new complexities. When we add to the equation additional factors such as advancements in workplace standards, and legal findings of corporate liability and accountability – we have significantly reshaped expectations for decision-making and organisational integrity.
Indeed, these factors all underscore the importance of actively integrating effective risk-based decision-making, continuous learning, and adaptive outcomes into the ways we live and work. A robust risk culture is essential to navigate the forementioned challenges, enabling organisations to provide risk leadership, make more informed decisions, foster a heightened sense of resilience, and thrive in an ever-evolving environment. The open risk culture standard proposes 10 key elements needed to develop a robust, high-performing risk culture; providing a means by which organisations can more effectively evaluate the nature/maturity of their risk culture, and to make more informed decisions to improve/develop the same.
Key points:
  • What does good look like?
  • What are the challenges?
  • What are the tangible benefits?
  • Management systems and culture – how inter-related are they?
  • Compliance or risk management mindset?
  • Resilience versus Presilience
The PSG Conference aims to highlight the importance of working together across sectors and specialisations to address emerging challenges and enhance our nation’s security posture.
