4:00 PM CASE STUDY: Engaging in a Risk Conversation at Western Sydney University to build a Proactive Risk Culture
Organisations focus on to improve risk management activities by raising staff awareness and integrating responses to risk in their day-to-day business. To avoid a long journey to achieve a solid risk culture, simplifying risk language is the first step. This allows everyone to share a common understanding of the concepts and challenges of Enterprise Risk Management within the organisation and as such shifts the negative risk management mindset to a positive one.

- How to encourage the openness of risk talk to develop a risk culture that understands your organisations appetite and tolerance
- Understanding the challenges faced when having conversations about Risk and strategies to overcome them
- How to shift the negative mindset about risk to a positive one giving the opportunity to support growth and drive innovation
- Simplifying risk language thereby engaging the board and executive members to make relevant valuable decisions
