Risk Culture and Behavioral Insights for Managers Training Course

INTRODUCTION

Understanding and managing risk is a core component of organizational success, but risk management is not solely about processes, policies, and systems—it is also about people. This course explores the critical role of risk culture and behavioral insights in fostering effective risk management and decision-making within organizations.

Risk culture encompasses the shared values, beliefs, and attitudes towards risk that shape how individuals and teams identify, assess, and respond to uncertainties. Behavioral insights, derived from psychology and behavioral economics, reveal the cognitive biases and decision-making patterns that can influence risk perception and actions. Together, these concepts provide organizations with powerful tools to enhance risk awareness, encourage accountability, and improve outcomes.

This Risk Culture and Behavioral Insights for Managers Training equips leaders, managers, and employees with the skills and knowledge to build a positive risk culture and leverage behavioral insights for informed and balanced decision-making.
