Joachim has come up with an innovative way of communicating the essence of Risk Management to company executives. He has created a cutting-edge training programme – MOREMI – to “inject life and inspiration” into the sometimes dull world of risk management.
Risk Edutainment – MOREMI is an innovative and interactive training workshop that employs a classical African folklore (performed by professional actors and actresses live or via interactive DVD) carefully designed to skilfully teach the core principles of risk management, corporate governance, leadership, and performance management in a training environment.
Joachim has used the story of a threatened city in ancient West Africa to parallel the characters’ fight for survival with handling the risks involved in running a business.
Moremi is the heroine of the story who helps save her city, Ile-Ife, from a threat to its future. Her quest highlights dilemmas of strategy, risk, performance and reward.
“Moremi asks questions about how to deal with the threats and opportunities of life and death, existence and destruction – just the same issues faced by businesses right now in an economically threatening world” says Joachim
“I found in some of my previous roles as a risk professional, that it was a constant battle to find ways of getting staff engaged in thinking about how they handled threats and opportunities at work, which is what risk management is all about. It was in the process of looking for ways of engaging and enthusing staff that I first had the idea of using stories and plays. I’m delighted I’ve finally been able to make it happen.”
MOREMI premiered at the BAFTA awards on the 23rd of February this year in London, UK and will be officially launching in May (Lagos) and June (Port Harcourt) 2012 at a grand business dinner/reception for Directors, CEOs, Senior Executives across various sectors of the economy.
