The Reason Risk Culture Fails Where Incentives Win
David Buck examines why many organizations struggle to embed effective risk culture despite significant investment in governance and oversight. He argues that incentives, behaviors, and decision-making processes have a greater influence on outcomes than policies alone. The article explores how risk appetite, compensation structures, behavioral indicators, and leadership actions shape organizational culture. It also highlights the growing role of analytics and AI in monitoring risk culture in real time.
