Risk Culture Assessment and Behavioural Risk Management

Explores how the behaviours, incentives and unwritten rules inside an organisation shape whether risk frameworks actually work. Delegates learn to assess risk culture, spot warning signs, and design interventions that change behaviour rather than just policy. The programme uses African corporate and public sector examples where strong frameworks failed because culture was weak.
