Without risk, there is no reward. This is especially true in business. In order to meet strategic objectives and deliver a profit, risks need to be taken. But how exactly do you calculate how much risk is worth taking? And what other factors need to be considered?

In this on-demand Webinar, we were joined by risk experts Sarah Gordon and Ollie de Boer from Satarla as they discussed risk appetite and tolerance; how it's used to guide decision making and what best practice looks like.

In this webinar you'll learn:

• What is the difference between risk appetite and tolerance?
• How do I set risk appetite and tolerance for my organization?
• Theory versus practice: how do other risk managers use risk appetite to guide decision making?
• Which technology tools can help?

Having completed her PhD at Imperial College, Sarah then went on to work as a Geologist for Anglo American. She was lucky enough to live and work in Canada, Brazil, Southern Africa, and Europe, in a variety of functions from exploration through to sustainability, risk management and assurance. This grounding allowed her to explore different risk management techniques and uses, applying them to real situations. Together with two other risk managers, Sarah founded Satarla in 2014 (www.satarla.com). Now with 55 Associates based around the world, Satarla provides risk management consultancy, training and research to organizations from sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, charities, finance, together with petrochemicals, energy, oil & gas, and mining.
