Workshop overview

This workshop provides a deep dive into operational risk appetite and key risk indicators, two topics that continue to pose challenges for firms.  

 Throughout, we’ll be exploring: 

  • Operational risk appetite and the divergent opinions surrounding it, examining whether Operational risk is consciously taken for reward or is merely mitigated downwards. It then proceeds to practical implementation, proposing a three-stage process to developing a risk appetite that is meaningful and used for decision making.  

  • KRIs, the essential measures of appetite, examining them from a practical perspective, focusing on their purpose, design and benefit to the business. 

The course introduces a framework for assessing whether a metric is useful or useless; and reviews examples of effective (and not so effective) indicators. It also includes two practical exercises of drafting an appetite statement and developing predictive KRIs. 

This workshop is structured to provide delegates with crucial knowledge as well as 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 their take-aways that will make a real difference to their organisation.
