The Centre for Leadership and Learning in Risk (CLLR)
The Centre has been established as an accrediting agency for the delivery of studies in the Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR).
In 2010 it became clear that there was a considerable gap in the way people were educated and trained in understanding and managing risk. Most approaches to managing risk have become bogged down in excessive bureaucracy, risk aversion and excessive regulation.
Consequently, a disconnect has been created in risk management that sacrifices learning, humanising, innovation and creativity in organising. Common approaches to risk primarily focus on process, objects and the mechanics of threats and hazards. What this has triggered is a demand for a new approach to managing risk that better understands human decision making, social arrangements and how people organise in tackling risk. This is where the Social Psychology of Risk comes in. Since 2015 over 300 students have completed units in the Social Psychology of Risk with many testifying how much this has changed their work, understanding, strategies and career prospects.
The Social Psychology of Risk (SPoR) was founded through the work of Dr Robert Long and associates in 2003. The Social Psychology of Risk has its focus on how social arrangements condition decision making in risk and how social relationships form the foundation for understanding and tackling risk. The SPoR approach strengthens capability and thinking in risk, creates new skills in leadership in risk and, better harmonises the place of humans in the risk matrix. This new SPoR discipline is taught exclusively through the Centre for Leadership and Learning in Risk.
