EPISODE 44 - The response to Covid-19 and the impact on the risk and insurance industry has been unique in each country globally – We speak with Carl Leeman from Katoen Natie who shares his insight on the changing role of the risk manager and highlights the effects of Covid-19 on the European market , with focus on trends and developments in the insurance sector. While focus has shifted due to the pandemic, it is essential that organisations don’t lose sight of existing cyber, environmental, political risks etc. while at the same time ensuring to prioritise the safety and wellbeing of their people.

EPISODE 43 - What if we used uncertainty as an input to how we operate as a business? We discuss with Simon Van Wyk from ERM: Environmental Resources Management how to integrate uncertainty into business processes, the skills required for the future and the importance of disrupting ourselves. As risk professionals we have a new role to play in understanding uncertainty, changing mindsets, recognising our constraints and opportunities and making our organisations more resilient. As a risk professional, what is the value you are bringing?

‘We cannot bring linear solutions to non-linear problems – We need to disrupt ourselves and our way of thinking.’- Simon van Wyk

EPISODE 41 - As a Global leader, we get insight from Anton Ossip from Discovery Limited into Discovery’s unique shared-value business model and how they use behavioural economics and data collection to innovate in the insurance industry.

What makes prevention today different from the past, is how it can now be achieved. With continuous technological developments and data analytics allowing organisations to track behavioural changes, as well as a systems approach that helps companies go beyond single interventions to engage the entire insurance value chain – This drives improved business results and encourages positive behaviour that leads to shared-value between risk reduction and profit.

EPISODE 40 - Presilience is the attribute and process of successfully preventing where possible, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from adverse, major business interruption events and crises whilst at the same time looking for opportunities. Unlike resilience, which focusses purely on recovery and the ability to “bounce-back”, Presilience focusses on building the mental fortitude, across the whole organisation, to not only “bounce back”, but also to completely avoid crises, manage them effectively and minimise any negative effects – ideally it epitomises the idea of “Bouncing back better”. Essentially, it is risk intelligence and risk culture in practice. We speak with Dr. Gavriel (Gav) Schneider F.IRSM from Risk 2 Solution to look at how this practice can drive productivity and high performance through great decision making and how this could be the new way to thrive in the new normal.

EPISODE 38 - Covid-19 is the first of many challenges we are going to be faced with – Preparing for all uncertainties, benchmarking, learning from our Global peers and the sharing of information and data is now more important than ever to assist in effective decision making. We spoke to Chris Brits from Riskonet to look at the challenges and opportunities that have emerged amidst the pandemic, the adoption of technology in managing operational risk and the evolution of risk management as a strategic enabler.

EPISODE 37 - As our reliance on technology increases, digital transformation is becoming more important. Covid-19 has been a wake-up call that risks can in fact materialise and we now need to look at areas of our business that should have contingency measures in place to build resilience. We speak to Jonathan Crisp from BarnOwl GRC and look at how Risk Management software and the effective management of risk can garner negotiating power with insurers, the need for qualitative and quantitative risk information and how risk management needs to be a living system and not only something assessed annually.

EPISODE 36 - How do you implement risk management and develop competencies? We speak with Terence Murasiki and look at the innovative Attribute Based Maturity Index developed by ABMI Research Institute and how understanding the risk maturity of your organisation can add value and drive action. 'It is not only about knowing your organisations maturity but understanding what needs to be improved and implemented, then integrating the necessary processes into business to create value.'

EPISODE 35 - Risk managers don’t own risk……they own the risk process – We discuss with Chris Mandel, RIMS-CRMP if ERM is still relevant, the connection between risk and success or failure and how to translate the value proposition of ERM by building credibility as a functional risk leader.

'The biggest challenge is not only getting ahead of black swans but contributing to building resilience and crafting a risk programme that is relevant to the organisation and not taking an ‘off the shelf’ approach.'

EPISODE 34 - The rate of change has accelerated over the past few months and the Insurance industry, like many other industries, will never look the same again. We speak to Dr. Robin Kiera from Digitalscouting.de about the future of Insurance and Insurtech, developing trends, the Global landscape, as well as risks and opportunities that will emerge as a result. We discuss electrification, attention hacking, collaboration, changing stakeholder expectations and we unpack the value in leveraging existing ecosystems and new platforms.

EPISODE 33 - Enterprise Risk Management should complement, not displace business - We spoke with Dr Hermie Le Roux (PhD) to look at the skills that risk facilitators need to possess and the value that building relationships and speaking businesses language can add in garnering buy-in. We unpack how businesses, regardless of scope or size can manage their risks and build resilience and look at the art versus the science of risk management.

We spoke with Conrad Burger to look at distribution in supply chain, how traditional logistics models will need to be re-structured, cost versus reward and the impact of volatile exchange rates. Businesses will not only have to look at their own structures and business models, but that of their clients and suppliers in order to evaluate sustainability.

EPISODE 31 - Can risk management be a strategic enabler? We discuss with Lisa Cameron de Vries from Phoenix Resilience how collaboration in risk management enables organisations to be more agile in responding to a crisis and a continuously changing landscape. We explore effective ways organisations could respond to a crisis, emerging trends, the importance of improving risk and resilience capabilities and the advantages of integrating disciplines. Navigating through uncertain times will always have its challenges, but having a methodology and process in place that will allow you to activate a whole ecosystem at a time of crisis for a co-ordinated response, will ultimately ensure resilience.

EPISODE 30 - With every risk comes opportunity - Africa differs from the rest of the world in so many ways, especially when it comes to assessing risk. We speak to Ryan Cummings from Signal Risk and discuss the intricacies and interdependencies of the different countries within Africa and discuss the technology boom that is underway and that is outpacing other parts of the world. We unpack the advantages and disadvantages of Africa’s youthful population, the robust response to Covid-19 in some parts of the continent that has challenged stereotypes and look at the impact of the political landscape.

EPISODE 26 - Do we really understand how our world will change post Covid-19 and are we ready to capitalise on the opportunities born from this pandemic? In this episode we discuss with Kevin Smout from KPMG Australia how risk management is moving into the frontlines and becoming a strategic enabler for business and how the discipline of risk management is evolving. We look at the future of technology in the management of risk, how risk needs to become a partner in business and ways that business can evolve from being reactive in a crisis to being proactive.

EPISODE 25 - ‘92% of risk managers predict a greater focus on operational resilience.’

Operational resilience is the process that helps organisations adapt quickly to a constantly changing environment – Now more than ever we are seeing the importance of being able to effectively respond to these changes and the impact it can have on business when unable to do so. We discuss with Melissa Bosse how operational resilience is key to the fourth industrial revolution, the benefits and value for board members and senior management and how this can impact and contribute to an organisation’s overall strategy. How resilient is your organisation?

We look at the value of risk engineering and how it can build resilience, reduce your exposure to risk and keep your business operations intact. Risk engineering makes it easier for you to obtain the right levels of insurance and avoid the higher premiums typical of a risk profile consisting of unknown or unquantified risks.

The Current and Future Security of Schools.
Are schools prepared for the risks that they face every day? Are schools educating students, staff and parents on how to manage and identify these risks? We discuss the difference between school security in South African schools versus schools in the United Kingdom, as well as the varying approaches in the public and private sectors. We look at the current threats schools are facing, practical measures they can take to respond to risks and how all stakeholders can contribute to the overall safety of schools.

EPISODE 22 - There is a big risk in people, as people are inherent to everything in your business. We discuss with Azaria Chasenski from Requisite Business Services (RBS) how the majority of risks, in some way have a human element and how organisations need to tap into the strengths and develop weaknesses of their staff, to ensure that their employees and structures are able to support their strategic objectives. Being proactive, having a holistic approach and viewing people as the most important asset in business, will give organisations a competitive edge.
