This pioneering workshop focuses on the softer side of risk, rarely covered in educational training yet essential for effective risk management. It focuses on the role of the second-line operational risk professional and how it is embodied by drifters, diminishers and multipliers. It also reviews the profiles of embedded first-line risk champions and their personalities of problem solvers, postmen and champions.
The workshop adopts a practical approach to revising the core skills and capabilities of operational risk professionals and provides a step-by-step guide to building successful risk teams. It continues to the least visible but most vital aspect of risk management – risk culture, presenting an evaluation methodology via employee focus groups and the use of metrics. It outlines practical steps that can be taken to embed the right ethos and behaviours, including having the right tone from risk in addition to the tone at the top, and holding meaningful risk conversations across the firm.
The workshop is structured to provide the delegates with crucial knowledge as well as ample opportunities for group work and discussion, to address emerging themes and benchmark solutions with peer firms. It is packed with practical tips and hints and ends with ‘make a difference’ discussion, where attendees share takeaways that will make a real difference to their organisation. The training is based on a best-selling book, Operational Risk Management of Financial Services: A practical guide to establishing effective solutions, which serves as a base for the workshop materials and enables continuous learning.
