Using a Mood Board to Design Risk Culture

In an effort to get a little visually creative with risk, I was wondering whether you could use the Mood Board concept when designing a desired risk culture for your organisation. What do you think?

🤔

Let's imagine the core risk culture values of your organisation are: transparency, honesty, balance, and challenge. Just like an interior designer creates a mood board for a client's new home, we can use this tool to shape our risk management ethos.

Elements of Our Risk Culture Mood Board:

🔎 Transparency: Glass buildings, open spaces, clear water, and clean lines.
"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." — George Bernard Shaw

🗣 Honesty: Handshakes, natural elements, raw materials, and natural light. “Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.” – James Altucher

⚖ Balance: Scales, symmetry, balanced ecosystems, and neutral colours. “In all aspects of life, balance is key. Doing one thing too much can cause upset...” – Catherine Pulsifer

⛰ Challenge: Mountain climbing, athletic endeavours, puzzles, and bold colours. “Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” – Joshua J. Marine

By gathering visuals, textures, quotes, and real-life examples, do you think you could create a powerful, cohesive visual story?
