PODCAST

The Human Risk Podcast

People are often described as the largest asset in most organisations. They are also the biggest single cause of risk.

It also looks at "human reward", or "how to get the most out of people". When we manage human risk, we often stifle human reward. Equally, when we unleash human reward, we often

Kirsten Morehouse on Stereotypes

The Human Risk Podcast ·

2022/12/30

How can stereotypes — particularly those relating to gender and ethnicity — drive us to draw the wrong conclusions? If I say the word American, you’re more likely to think of a white person. If I say the word Doctor, you’re more likely to think of a man. There’s a famous riddle involving a surgeon (link below) that you may have heard, which has an obvious answer that we often struggle to find. Obviously, that is, if you look beyond stereotypes. It’s something that my guest Kirsten Morehouse has

Hilary Sutcliffe on Trust

The Human Risk Podcast ·

2022/12/19

What do we mean when we say we trust a person or an organisation? It’s a word we use a lot that we intuitively understand. Trust plays a vital part in how we interact with others. If we trust someone, we’re more likely to engage with them. If we don’t, we might avoid engaging them or expend extra effort in keeping an eye on what they’re up to. But what makes a person or organisation trustworthy? Does it matter as much as we might think, and what does the presence or absence of trust do to us? My
