Risk Management for Success: From checklists to confidence and growth

In this first episode of the Pirani Risk Management Podcast, we talk with Norman Marks, award-winning author of Risk Management for Success and a globally recognized thought leader in audit, risk, and governance. Norman explains why risk management should not be about checklists or compliance, but about enabling success, building confidence in decisions, and creating a culture where risk becomes a driver of growth and resilience.

These are some of the questions we address in the episode:

• How should executives link risk management directly to their strategic objectives?
  
  
• You emphasize confidence in risk assessments—why is that so important, and how do organizations build it?
  
  
• You include a maturity model and surveys. From your experience, what are the most common signs of low maturity in risk management?
  
  
• Risk culture is often overlooked. What’s one practical step leaders can take to strengthen it?
  
  
• How do we get managers across the organization—not just risk professionals—to take ownership of risk?
