Risk management needs an overhaul. It needs to join the 21st Century. Daniel Wagner and Dante Disparte's new book Global Risk Agility and Decision-Making: Organisational Resilience in the Era of Man-Made Risk not only discusses why this is the case, but also provides a great road map of how to achieve it.
This week, Daniel joins me as the first guest to make a re-appearance on the show. He discusses many of the book's themes and we have a fascinating conversation that I felt could have gone for hours. We talk about:
Brexit - while I never want to date any of my episodes, I thought I'd be re-miss not to tap Daniel's expertise on country risk management and spend some time getting his take on Britain's recent referendum; The Anthropecene Era and man-made risks - we spend some time talking about climate change in particular, but the book also discusses things like terrorism and cyber risk; Where risk management goes wrong for organisations - short-termism, greed, etc.; Risk agility; Systemic issues like corruption and vested interests in global politics; Organisations "having a conscience"; Individual and organisational leadership; Disruption Common sense and much more!It is a wonderful conversation that I am sure you will enjoy!
