Why Risk Management Often Fails to Help Leaders Decide (and what to do about it)

Too often, risk management produces static registers and qualitative assessments that sit apart from the decisions leaders actually need to make.

The result?

Time-consuming processes that deliver disappointingly little value. This session reframes risk management as a secondary - but essential - element of a broader decision-making discipline.

Using Pelorus Insights’ COURSE™ decision quality framework, we explore how uncertainty can be addressed in the context of real strategic choices. We’ll compare the Risk Capability Pyramid™ to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, demonstrating why cultural and context foundations must be built before higher-level benefits can be realised. Finally, we introduce the Risk IQ Matrix™, demonstrating how integration and quantification are the key elements to create fit-for-purpose risk insight.

Attendees will leave with a blueprint for designing risk capability that’s not just compliant, but ready to inform important decisions and steer through uncertainty.
