“Everyone knows that culture is important—but why? What about risk culture? What should you do if your project or organisation takes too much risk – or too little? … Culture arises from repeated Behaviour – if we do the same things repeatedly we will develop a shared approach to “how we do things around here.” But behaviour is based on our underlying Attitudes – how we think shapes our actions.” Hillson (2013).
