AUTHOR Cummings, Jonah; Hubbard, Douglas W.
PUBLISHER Brilliance Audio (06/16/2015)
PRODUCT TYPE Audio (MP3 CD)

Description

An essential guide to the calibrated risk analysis approach.

The Failure of Risk Management takes a close look at misused and misapplied basic analysis methods and shows how some of the most popular "risk management" methods are no better than astrology

Using examples from the 2008 credit crisis, natural disasters, outsourcing to China, engineering disasters, and more, Hubbard reveals critical flaws in risk management methods and shows how all of these problems can be fixed. The solutions involve combinations of scientifically proven and frequently used methods from nuclear power, exploratory oil, and other areas of business and government. Finally, Hubbard explains how new forms of collaboration across all industries and government can improve risk management in every field.
