In this webinar, we explore how to nurture risk intelligence in our organisations, from the top down, from the middle out, from the bottom up. By establishing risk vision, risk connectedness and risk engagement, we can turn risk from an unwanted foe to a welcome friend – a powerful force for good. Risk intelligent organisations navigate the future purposely, through sound decision-making that drives innovation, efficiency, effectiveness and successful outcomes.
For many years, opportunity was regard as the way to cancel out risk – the zero-sum game, that meant there was no need to fund risk mitigation. But thinking has matured to a degree since then. And pundits have long since stopped describing risk and opportunity as simply the flip side of the same coin. Sadly, however, little progress has been made on new, alternative thinking on how to systematically exploit opportunity. Which means that we are missing a trick, ignoring a key tool that could help us achieve our goals: innovation. This presentation takes a practical look at some of the key strategies and tactics you can employ to capture opportunities and tip the odds in your favour. Leading the way to success.
We all agree governance is a good thing, but what does it mean in practice? While definitions of governance focus on oversight and control, today’s volatile environment requires an increasingly agile, far sighted and risk-intelligent leadership approach. And that all points to a new focus for governance: steering. Does your leadership have their hands on the wheel? Are your stakeholders confident of the future? Is your program/project team on board? Join me to explore some practical ways in which we can apply an intelligent approach to leadership and governance.
To navigate today’s volatile environment, capability acquisition must shift left, focusing on early, proactive decision-making. This presentation champions a holistic strategy, emphasizing outcomes, Minimum Viable Product, and robust governance. By embracing innovation and a ‘fail fast’ approach, we can tip the scales in favour of project success.
