Description

When we are successful, is it down to skill or luck? All too often, we’re inclined to believe the former of ourselves and other people with extremely negative consequences. On this episode, I’m speaking to Odessa Hamilton. She’s a Doctoral researcher in the Inclusion Initiative of the London School of Economics that explores how we can make workplaces more inclusive using Behavioural ScienceTo find out more about Odessa: https://www.lse.ac.uk/PBS/People/Cecily-JostenFor more on the Inclusion Initiative: https://www.lse.ac.uk/PBS/archive/tiiTo hear the episode featuring her Inclusion Initiative colleague Cécily Josten: https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/cecily-josten-on-the-future-of-work/To hear the episodes featuring Inclusion Initiative Director Dr Grace Lordan:https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/dr-grace-lordan-on-inclusion/https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/dr-grace-lordan-on-privilege/https://www.humanriskpodcast.com/dr-grace-lordan-on-thinking/

People are often described as the largest asset in most organisations. They are also the biggest single cause of risk. This podcast explores the topic of 'human risk', or "the risk of people doing things they shouldn't or not doing things they should", and examines how behavioural science can help us mitigate it. It also looks at 'human reward', or "how to get the most out of people". When we manage human risk, we often stifle human reward. Equally, when we unleash human reward, we often inadvertently increase human risk.
