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.

What you will be able to do

  • Define risk culture and its influence on risk outcomes.
  • Identify indicators and warning signs of a weak risk culture.
  • Use surveys, interviews and data to assess culture.
  • Analyse how incentives and tone at the top drive behaviour.
  • Design interventions that shift behaviour and accountability.
  • Report on risk culture to leadership and the board.
