If Drucker was right that “culture eats strategy for breakfast” then maybe the idea that “culture sets the table for risk” should get a lot more attention!
If “culture eats strategy for breakfast” (a proven insight by no less than Peter Drucker), then perhaps “culture sets the table for risk” should be the corollary that companies and their boards should act on. Though this is a newer insight, the evidence seems to be accumulating that is it no less valid.
As most companies are wading through a struggling economy against a backdrop of a very uncertain world, many directors are re-examining how best to provide oversight to the measurement and quantification (and ultimately management) of enterprise risk. This webinar will explore how company culture not only intersects the concept of risk management, but is a powerful key to understanding and better managing risk from the board level all the way to the front line.
Everything from operating risk to compliance consistency is enlightened by a better understanding of company culture. But this particular idea moves beyond simple tone at the top admonitions in favor of an approach that helps companies and their boards widen their lens and, arguably, create a more deliberate and conscious culture as a way to actually mitigate risk.
The webinar will review and debate the validity of this approach and discuss the specific elements of culture that may pose more specific enterprise-level risks. In addition, a constructively critical review of specific solutions will be considered such that directors can leave the webinar with “take away” strategies that can be deployed immediately in almost any enterprise.
