Dr Roger Miles intros for hosts
Short (65 words) Trusted over two decades to run secret, high-level investigations, Dr Roger Miles knows exactly what makes leaders (and followers) tick. He’ll see whether your decision-making’s robust. How you make sense of risk – and the life-changing outcomes of that. Why well-meant initiatives fail to land. How to spot when people are going to disrupt The Plan. He’s also the least stuffy risk analyst you’ll ever meet.
Medium (92 words) Dr Miles works internationally with standard-setting bodies, including government research groups, regulators and the professional associations. He develops ways to improve trust and governance at sector level, such as recently for AI developers; food producers; financial practitioners; risk managers; lawyers and auditors. He also directly assists large organisations’ leaders on improving their culture and governance. He co-founded a Behavioural Risk Academy for one of the UK’s largest commercial sectors; programme alumni now include more than 100 Senior Leaders. He is the author of several books and a widely published writer and researcher.
