Content description:
In this webinar presented on Tuesday 6 December, Ruth Murray-Webster and Penny Pullan showcase their latest thinking about what it takes to engage others to identify, own and manage risk.

The 2nd edition of their book ‘Making Risk Management Work’ was released on Monday 10 October 2022 and included two new chapters addressing:

- people and their perceptions of risk, and
- working in virtual and hybrid -modes to identify, prioritise and manage risks.

It is often the case that considerations of risk perception and bias, and of working virtually are both challenges that make effective risk management more difficult.

Ruth and Penny argue that this is not necessarily the case and outline ways in which programmes can protect the planned delivery of benefits and a return on investment by harnessing the power of perceptions and virtual working.

This webinar challenged attendees to consider how they could act to invigorate risk practices to add tangible value.
