This course is aimed at risk practitioners who want to embed effective risk culture and conduct in their organisations. In addition to insights on how it can be measured, monitored and managed, we cover why culture is an important driver for sustainable performance and therefore is a key focus for regulators.

This course explores the relationship between culture and conduct, and particularly risk culture. It provides risk practitioners with tools to consciously design desirable culture and conduct and evaluate gaps that need to be bridged. We cover who is responsible for setting and embedding desired culture, and how it influences organisational decision-making.
