Any organization is an assembly of people: people who take risk as they manage and direct the enterprise; people who decide how much risk is acceptable or even desirable; and provide oversight of the management of risk across the extended enterprise. Organizational culture has been the topic of study for many years. • “Culture is how organizations ‘do things’.” — Robbie Katanga • “Organizational culture is the sum of values and rituals which serve as ‘glue’ to integrate the members of the organization.” — Richard Perrin Richard Anderson and Norman Marks share their views on this complex subject. They cover: • What is the difference between the “risk” culture and the “organizational” culture? How can it be analysed? • Who takes risk, and who should be responsible for deciding how much risk to take? • Is there such a thing as a single risk level? • Why do so many of us take different views of exactly the same risks? How does an organization decide which view is “right”? • Is one person’s risk another’s opportunity? • What about when the actions of one impact the success of another?
