Risk Thinking
...In an Uncertain World
Ron Dembo, 2021
¿De qué se trata?
Risk thinking involves running scenarios involving unknown unknowns to mitigate possible future negative effects.
Recommendation
Risk managers often use sophisticated models to understand the future through the lens of the past. However, such recent catastrophes as the 2008 financial crash and the Fukushima catastrophe show that such forecasting is inadequate. In today’s complex and intricately interconnected world, the observation of British novelist LP Hartley rings true, “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.” Fortunately, decision-makers have an alternative to modeling the future based on the past: Risk thinking opens planning to include unlikely, but potentially devastating, future possibilities. Anyone making decisions in an uncertain business environment will find this work helpful.
