Managing Risk Attitude for Better Decision Making

In order to effectively manage risks and make better decisions, most rely on processes, tools, systems, frameworks and/or methodologies – however regardless of the approach taken to manage risk, there is always one common denominator … People!.

Thus regardless of the approach and the nature of the risk - all risk is managed by people.

David would discuss the management of people risk – foundational concepts of risk attitudes and its impact on decision making, with a view, to provide a greater understanding of these concepts as well as give practical guidance to leverage this understanding in improving corporate risk management.
