This innovative course is designed for risk professionals who want to enhance their ability to communicate their risk ideas, messages and objectives with boards and stakeholders.

By attending this course you will be introduced to a unique risk personality tool – developed specifically for risk specialists to enable you to understand your own and others’ perception of risk, risk tolerance, propensity for risk taking and the implications this has on decision-making.

Equipped with this information, you will know where to place managers and other employees on a spectrum between ‘over cautious’ and ‘gung-ho adventurous’, enabling you to evaluate their actions, and the implications, at all organisational levels.
