Updated: Oct 2, 2021

Abstract


When risks become tolerated and values drift, bad things happen. But if you foster open, risk-free risk communication from the bottom up, you can prevent toxic risk cultures forming.

Common attributes of man-made disasters are 1) an extended period of ‘risk incubation’, during which risks – often manifest in anomalies and near-misses – are tolerated and even ‘normalised’, and 2) a phenomenon called ‘value drift ’ – a gradual abandonment of the organisation’s value system.


This presentation examines how stop risk incubation and infuse organisational values using technology to create the psychological safety needed to foster genuine bottom-up risk communication.
