Cultivating strong risk culture throughout your
organisation for enhanced business strategy
New threats have emerged and are constantly evolving in recent years
that require organisations to be able to adapt more quickly in order to
remain relevant and competitive. Cybersecurity, disruption-related risks,
regulatory changes, and environmental risks are some of the current
key concerns of risk management leaders in New Zealand.
Forward-thinking boards and CEOs are realising the strategic
importance of risk management in achieving business goals and are
progressively integrating risk management into business models. As
the risk function evolves, risk teams need to be on the cutting edge

agile’ and gain competitive advantage.

Workshop: Wednesday 31 August 2016
Turning the risk management process into
something really useful, that creates value and
stimulates organisational success
While the risk management process is supposed to emulate
the natural thought process we all follow to some degree when
preparing for a decision and then making sure it remains valid, in
practice it is often very cumbersome and unreliable. This seems
mostly because people and their organisations don’t appreciate,
fundamentally, what each step of the process is supposed to do
and how they work together. The steps are seen just headings on
a diagram or as cells in a spreadsheet that have to be filled in.
At a result, in many organisations risk management is seen as a
chore that has little relevance to day to day management; it often
becomes a once-a-year activity where an existing risk register
is laboriously ‘reviewed’, generating little tangible benefit. No
wonder its sometimes called ‘list management’ rather than risk
management!
Although its over 20 years since New Zealand with Australia created
the first, national standard, many organisations still struggle to make
sense of risk management with that term becoming a metaphor for
stopping people doing what they want to do, rather than something
that can aid innovation and foster success.
This workshop is completely practical and is based on Grant
Purdy’s 39 years of experience helping organisations of all sizes
and types throughout the world improve decision making by
being better at understanding and responding to uncertainty.
During the full day workshop, we will consider each of the formal
steps of the risk management process that:
• Involves people who can and must contribute to a decision;
• Defines and appreciates the assumptions being made;
• Tests out those assumptions by postulating scenarios in
terms of what could happen and the potential implications
for an organisation’s objectives;
• Understands the uncertainties involved;
• Decides on how much uncertainty is acceptable and,
therefore, how greater certainty could be obtained;
• Monitors outcomes and any assumptions made to ensure
decisions remain valid.
While the workshop will follow the AS/NZS ISO 31000 risk
management standard, we will avoid arcane ‘risk speak’. We
will use simple terms and concepts, with many real examples to
demonstrate how the process can easily become an integral part
of any decision making process.
Particularly, we will also address some current, conceptual
artefacts such a ‘risk appetite’, ‘risk registers’ and ‘key risk
indicators’. These will be translated into rational concepts and
practical applications that can be used to aid rather than hinder
organisational performance.

  • 3. Wednesday, 31 August 2016 Workshop Workshop: Wednesday 31 August 2016 Turning the risk management process into something really useful, that creates value and stimulates organisational success While the risk management process is supposed to emulate the natural thought process we all follow to some degree when preparing for a decision and then making sure it remains valid, in practice it is often very cumbersome and unreliable. This seems mostly because people and their organisations don’t appreciate, fundamentally, what each step of the process is supposed to do and how they work together. The steps are seen just headings on a diagram or as cells in a spreadsheet that have to be filled in. At a result, in many organisations risk management is seen as a chore that has little relevance to day to day management; it often becomes a once-a-year activity where an existing risk register is laboriously ‘reviewed’, generating little tangible benefit. No wonder its sometimes called ‘list management’ rather than risk management! Although its over 20 years since New Zealand with Australia created the first, national standard, many organisations still struggle to make sense of risk management with that term becoming a metaphor for stopping people doing what they want to do, rather than something that can aid innovation and foster success. This workshop is completely practical and is based on Grant Purdy’s 39 years of experience helping organisations of all sizes and types throughout the world improve decision making by being better at understanding and responding to uncertainty. During the full day workshop, we will consider each of the formal steps of the risk management process that: • Involves people who can and must contribute to a decision; • Defines and appreciates the assumptions being made; • Tests out those assumptions by postulating scenarios in terms of what could happen and the potential implications for an organisation’s objectives; • Understands the uncertainties involved; • Decides on how much uncertainty is acceptable and, therefore, how greater certainty could be obtained; • Monitors outcomes and any assumptions made to ensure decisions remain valid. While the workshop will follow the AS/NZS ISO 31000 risk management standard, we will avoid arcane ‘risk speak’. We will use simple terms and concepts, with many real examples to demonstrate how the process can easily become an integral part of any decision making process. Particularly, we will also address some current, conceptual artefacts such a ‘risk appetite’, ‘risk registers’ and ‘key risk indicators’. These will be translated into rational concepts and practical applications that can be used to aid rather than hinder organisational performance.

Grant was a member of the Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand risk management committee for 14 years and its chair for seven. He was one of the co-authors of AS/NZS 4360:2004, was the nominated expert in the committee that wrote ISO 31000:2009 and co-author of the new companion implementation guide to AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009, HB 436:2013.
