BalAnced Risk as a srategy for Growth
Having worked in risk mitigation and safety training for over 30 years, we understand that risk management and safety are intricately tied to culture, leadership, and systems alignment.
Our customized approach to ERM focuses on supporting your specific needs and desired outcomes, while aligning programing with your organization’s purpose, values and systems.
While most ERM auditing is top-down and entails identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential losses, Zen for Business takes a holistic approach, wherein we view risk as the potential to gain or lose something/someone of value. We investigate entire systems and, equally as important, we identify roadblocks and opportunities to create a more proactive and engaged culture, leadership, and workforce to positively affect the entire organization.
Paul is an excellent risk management program designer and facilitator, who supported staff in coming to understand that finding the right risk tolerance for the organization is every employee’s responsibility. Through purposeful engagement, Paul established a deeper understanding of risk, which helped frame conversations and actions that contributed to building a positive culture of safety. We found his approach unique and refreshing - very different from most dry risk management trainers and analysts.

An example of a custom program might include:
Preliminary investigative calls with key stakeholders to determine scope of work, priorities and identify early outcomes for trainings.
Pre-assessment questionnaires with staff to explore system-level roadblocks, barriers to participation, and factors that may impede roll-out of initiatives.
One-hour, virtual program launch to build rapport, share program objectives, and set forth participants’ preparatory work. Such work might include pre-reading and providing input via the Collective Leadership Assessment to garner insight into the organizational culture, systems, and interpersonal relationships - all of which affect risk management.
In-person training, at a location chosen by client. Purposeful and catalyzing engagement activities, designed to achieve learning outcomes agreed upon in scope of work.
Executive coaching sessions to support individuals’ growth, which is necessary to elevate organizational performance.
Post-program debrief, assessment, and potential future reinforcement.
