Leader 2050: Future Sustainability Competencies in the Face of Systemic Resilience, Ecological and Socio-Economic Crises
The Leader 2050 Conference is an interdisciplinary forum exploring the competencies future leaders and graduates will need to address systemic crises shaped by technological change, sustainability imperatives, geopolitical instability, and socio-economic challenges.
System Risk Assessment
System Risk Assessment – an online instrument for sustainability governance
The Research Centre for System Risk Management aims to advance the understanding and management of system risks in an increasingly interconnected world. Our focus is on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating vulnerabilities within complex socio-economic systems, including global financial markets, supply chains, energy infrastructures, and other critical networks. We strive to enhance resilience and ensure the sustainability of these systems against unforeseen events that can lead to significant disruptions or collapses.
The goal of the Research Centre is to develop innovative approaches and strategies for managing system risks by fostering interdisciplinary research and collaboration. We aim to provide insights and practical solutions for policymakers, businesses, and communities to better anticipate, prepare for, and respond to potential threats. By promoting awareness and understanding of system risks, we seek to contribute to the creation of more robust and adaptive systems that can withstand the challenges of an unpredictable global environment.

System Risk Assessment
Design and implementation of an interactive web application to assess the system risk perception by collecting and analyzing perceptions of local stakeholders. The application is a sophisticated instrument for acquiring diverse perspectives on various topics pertinent to system risk.
Leveraging evaluation mechanisms, the proposed application offers individualized feedback to participants while concurrently facilitating the construction of a robust statistical model based on aggregated responses. The integration of statistical techniques enables the identification of trends and patterns within the dataset, thus providing insights into public perceptions of system risk.
Using this innovative tool, stakeholders can gain valuable insights into prevailing attitudes and misconceptions surrounding system risk, informing more effective risk mitigation strategies and policy decisions.
This online instrument should do the following:
- Assessment of stakeholder perception of vulnerabilities, threatening their functioning. These vulnerabilities concern the individual, organizational, and regional levels.
- Be a dynamic instrument for research, assessment, and feedback for stakeholders. This feedback should embrace the following:
– A system risk profile of the user (individual, organization, city).
– Provide feedback in the form of local examples of vulnerabilities and system risks, and good and bad practices from the different regions involved in the project. - Assess the existence of an EWS (a governance mechanism for obtaining and managing warning signals of different types of disasters).

There is a need to develop a model and methodology to create a versatile set of instruments to examine the system risks and amplifiers of its probability and magnitude.
The instruments (questionnaire survey) will allow for testing the research hypotheses, as well as the assessment of risk perception and cognitive biases. To assess the participants’ observational skills and capacity to recognize potential hazards or threats, they are asked to identify potential individual, organizational, and system risks associated with different types of events.
This is based on a set of events (Platje et al., 2023a), that embrace system risks as well as a large magnitude of impact, as well as the expected time frame of the event happening. This allows for the assessment of knowledge and worldviews, to measure the participants’ understanding of the concepts of individual risk and system risk, and to create a profile of the worldview and cognitive biases that reduce disaster resilience.
