Risk Management...with a drumbeat!

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 1, 2011 - Award-winning Risk Manager creates cutting-edge “risk edutainment” programme with an African folklore twist!


Joachim Adenusi, the public sector 2009 Risk Manager of the Year and Former Director of the Institute of Risk Management (IRM), has created a cutting-edge training programme to “inject life and inspiration” into the sometimes dull world of risk management.

“Risk Edutainment™ - Moremi”, is a must-see production which innovatively uses classical African folklore, performed by professional actors and actresses live or via interactive DVD, to teach the core principles of risk management, governance, leadership, and performance management in a training environment.

In a unique combination of original African history and exciting fiction, the Moremi play (named after the heroine of the story) makes use of contemporary and professional language in an African setting to capture the audience and take them deep into the ancient West African city of Ile-Ife, where they will have the opportunity to learn how to make highly effective decisions in difficult times – right in the comfort of the training room.

Joachim, who is also an Executive Director of IRMS Ltd, a risk management solutions firm, was inspired to develop the Moremi play after producing a risk training DVD during his time as the Head of Risk Management at Essex County Council.

He said: “Risk management is not the most exciting subject in the world therefore I was looking for something that could help organisations and individuals enjoy managing risks. I thought if I could draw from my background to use story-telling and art to educate on this subject, I could create a training course that would be practical, innovative, interactive, entertaining, and most importantly inspiring.”

“I believe that this course will inspire directors, senior executives and professional colleagues to see the benefits of using risk managing skills as a decision-making tool. It will enable organisations to see the links between strategy, risk, performance and reward, encouraging them to begin addressing the cultural issues in most organisations.”

“Risk Edutainment™ - Moremi” will be officially launching in February 2011 at a grand reception. The course has already been rolled out to various organisations on a trial basis, with one of the leading universities in the UK, Glasgow Caledonian University, hailing it as “an exciting alternative to more traditional approaches to risk management training.”
