A profound and insightful look at how company leaders prepare for
and respond to shocks and crises that threaten their business.
Successful firms strategically manage and are more accurate in
their assessment of large-scale risks. Doing so is increasingly
challenging given the pace of change, whether financial,
technological, regulatory, or environmental. Mastering Catastrophic
Risk provides real-world practical insights into how large
companies are responding to this new reality and develops a
framework for smarter thinking about events that can damage a
business. As leading authorities on risk management, strategy, and
company leadership, Howard Kunreuther and Michael Useem take us on
a groundbreaking tour of firms' decision making process. They
demonstrate how improving readiness for and resilience against
future shocks is now an integral part of company strategy. Using
the "DISRUPT" model they have developed, they highlight the seven
primary Drivers of disruption: Interdependencies increase exposure;
Short-term focus results in limited vision; Regulations require
change and constrain opportunities; Urbanization increases the
costs of disasters; Probabilities of disasters have increased; and
Transparency has enhanced public awareness of problems and impacts
on firms' reputations. Some disruptions can be anticipated, while
others arrive without warning. Their onset stresses decision
makers, impairs company operations, and may even put the enterprise
at risk. The bottom-line: business leaders and their governing
boards face ever more challenging disruptions and must be ever more
on guard. If your company is hit tomorrow, will it bounce back, or
drown?
