Recent decades have seen much greater attention paid to risk
management at an organizational level, as evidenced by the
proliferation of legislation, regulation, international standards
and good practice guidance. The recent experience of Covid-19 has
only served to heighten this attention. Growing interest in the
discipline has been accompanied by significant growth in the risk
management profession; but practitioners are not well served with
suitable books to guide them in their work or challenge them in
their professional development. This book attempts to place the
practice of risk management within organizations into a broader
context, looking as much at why we try to manage risk as how we try
to manage risk. In doing so, it challenges two significant trends
in the practice of risk management: * The treatment of risk
management primarily as a compliance issue within an overall
corporate governance narrative; and * The very widespread use of
qualitative risk assessment tools ("heat maps" etc.) which have
absolutely no proven effectiveness. Taken together, these trends
have resulted in much attention being devoted to developing
formalized systems for identifying and analyzing risks; but there
is little evidence that this is driving practical, cost-effective
efforts to actually manage risk. There appears to be a
preoccupation with the risks themselves, rather than a focus on the
positive actions that can (and should) be taken to benefit
stakeholders. This book outlines a simple, quantitative approach to
risk management which refocuses attention on treating risks; and
presents choices about risk treatment as normal business decisions.
