Human Factors in Risk Management, ‘An Introduction’

The Institute of Risk Management, in partnership with PCL, will be running a one-day workshop on Human Factors in Risk.

The focus of risk management has been almost exclusively on the nature of the risk itself: procedures, regulation and legislation. Organisational risk, compliance and governance strategies have had difficulty in getting to grips with the human factor - the risk dispositions of the individuals involved and their contribution to the risk equation.  With recently published papers, including the IRM’s ‘Risk Culture’ piece, the importance of considering and managing ‘human factors’ is beginning to be realised and considered as part of a comprehensive risk strategy. However, there are many now charged with the responsibility of implementing a human factors programme with little in terms of experience, training or qualifications to give them the confidence and knowledge needed for it to be effective.

To help tackle this gap, with the support of the IRM, PCL have developed a unique training programmes for the Enterprise Risk Management industry. Our aim is to build an understanding of how individual differences in risk appetite can impact behaviour, the implication of these ‘human factors’ and how to apply this knowledge as a risk specialist.
