In finance, risk is an everyday aspect. Retaining risk overview and control, assessment, mitigating and reporting is at the core of the financial responsibilities. An array of (legal) requirements, standards, and lines of defense are at one’s disposal. However, the psychological component in these processes is often underexposed and plays a more crucial role than most people are aware of.
Psychology affects the quality of our decision-making, in its various stages, and in a number of ways. The Psychology of Risk program enables you to better understand the psychological elements at play which systematically influence our financial decisions. And building upon these insights, we work on how to deal with these (subconscious) influences in ourselves and others.
“I highly recommend this program as it is both engaging and enlightening, providing insight into unconscious patterns of thought that we may not be aware of.”
