Understanding risk appetite

David Hillson, the Risk Doctor, was the chairman of RiskZone 2012 held in Vienna in September 2012, hosted by Stamford Global. One of the keynote presenters, Ruth Murray-Webster, was due to talk about her work with David on the hot topic of risk appetite. Unfortunately Ruth was unable to attend, so David stepped in to give her presentation. Discover the RARA Model as a framework for combining risk appetite with risk attitude in order to set appropriate risk thresholds.

Hi Jose, you're right, it's a shame. But there's another version of this same talk on the RiskDoctorVideo YouTube channel where the slides are visible - search for "How hungry are you for risk?" Enjoy!!

Its really difficult to film a screen in a talk like this, the best way is to use a separate camera set to a lower exposure.

How do we factor in the change in the base - what is acceptable in first quarter may look dangerously high in the second.. the base may have drivers not in the control of the organisation.

The camara man failed to find the graphic support on the screen; it´s indeed a pity!

Interesting RARA model. An organisation needs to know what value it is creating and for whom. It has to established and consistently applied and of course 'the attitude" depends on the situation to do "the right thing". If I am hungry but will I steal to eat i.e. effect of our decision making on our stakeholders and what do we feel as an organisation about a particular decision?


Behavior that an organisation will take in the face of a decision point in relation to an objective to be met (collective individual values) is acceptable. There is internal conflict here? Are tolerances artificial? In a given situation how do executives really act despite the governance structures ... re: the corporate scandals?

Good talk but the video is not showing the presentation at all. I guess it is a valuable presentation by David for sure but a futile video which kind of wasted the objectives of the talk over this video.
