Risk management is vital for organisational resilience and growth, yet its effectiveness can be hampered by poor reputation.

At a recent session attended by more than 50 risk professionals from different sectors, there was unanimous agreement that risk management does have a perception challenge.

This webinar explores:

1.    Why risk management has a poor reputation and what impact this can have.
2.    What are the factors driving this.
3.    What we can do to address these factors and improve the reputation of risk management.

Attendees will leave with actionable ideas and strategies to transform risk management from a misunderstood compliance function into a respected, value-adding partner, helping organisations become safer, more resilient, and better positioned to seize opportunities.
