In this first episode of Season 5 of Risk! Engineers Talk Governance, due diligence engineers Richard Robinson and Gaye Francis provide an overview of their new booklet "Risk Management and Negligence - Due Diligence Essentials for Engineers". 

They discuss the importance of engineers to understand their responsibilities around risk management and due diligence, and the need to communicate this effectively to senior decision-makers. 

The booklet covers:

• You can’t always be right but you can be diligent
• What it means to be an engineer today
• The risk management swamp
• Methods to drain the swamp
• Due diligence domains

They also discuss this season’s theme of difficult conversations engineers need to have and their plans for an in-person event to further discuss this topic.
