Improving risk thinking & practice in development aid: Part 1

This two-part webinar was presented to members of the International NGO Forum on 23 April 2021, aiming to encourage development of more effective management of risk. We start by challenging the way we think about risk, and continue by exploring how a mature risk mindset can lead to risk-informed programming.

Part 1: "Right thinking about risk"
How we think about risk will determine how we try to manage it, and an inaccurate view of risk will lead to ineffective risk management. But when we consider risk, we’re not always rational. We’re driven by hidden influences and instinct instead of thought-through reasoning, leading us to react rather than respond. Cultivating a mature risk mindset, and thinking in a more balanced way about risk will allow us to make better decisions whenever we are uncertain.

In this first part of the presentation, David Hillson outlines the values that underly a mature risk mindset, and explains how to change your thinking and behaviour.
