BarnOwl Invites You To An Information Sharing Session Topic: Hack Uncertainty
Speaker: Simon Van Wyk Venue: BarnOwl, Wedgefield Office Park, 17 Muswell Road South, Bryanston Need directions?
Speaker: Simon Van Wyk I am passionate (even obsessed) about isolating uncertainty and advising on targeted intervention to optimise risk where it matters most. I believe we can leverage uncertainty to position businesses and projects to succeed; that's my differentiator.
I am a lead risk advisory consultant to Executive and Group Level Management advising businesses how to optimise risk management practices to aid informed decision making. I also consult on Mega Projects to assure successful delivery under complexity using advanced analytics to meet and exceed business and/or project aspirations.
Session Details Risk professionals have a duty to expose the uncertainty that decouples businesses from attaining their aspirations. The same can be said in our personal lives primarily due to a state of perpetual blindness. This talk will share some perspectives in terms of how we, as risk professionals, can hack uncertainty. Five key topics will be discussed (1) Contextual Flux (2) Symptoms of Risk (3) Uncertainty (4) Rounds of Freestyling ‘Current Methods’ and (5) The Future of Risk.
To become the best version of ourselves as risk professionals, we will need to change our perspective. To achieve a perspective-with certainty we will need to take charge of our perception, navigate the context and overcome our perpetual blindness. At the end of the day, our world is consumed more than ever before by a state of exponential disruption and risk management will become the essential lens that will pave the way. Businesses of the future will be moving from making money to making an impact and from chasing success to creating significance, but to get there we will need to HACK UNCERTAINTY. |
