42 Risky Behaviours

Risk management is an essential aspect of modern organisational management. Correctly identifying and mitigating risks can mean the difference between success and failure, profit and loss. In some cases, it can even determine matters of life and death.

While businesses today are highly sophisticated regarding technology and systems, human behaviour remains critical in managing risk. Risk management isn’t just about preventing bad things from happening; it is also about creating a risk-awareness and management culture that empowers employees to identify and report potential risks.

This requires organisations to take a proactive approach to risk management rather than a reactive one.
