Harvard Business Review is a leading business magazine with a long history. This collection includes the best articles by HBR authors on the topic of risk management. Insider attacks, sabotage, supply chain disruptions, man-made disasters and political crises affect the sustainability of organizations. Trying to prevent them, most managers introduce more and more new rules and force employees to comply with them. However, overestimation of some risks and the inability to foresee hidden threats lead to companies wasting resources, and this can cause serious, or even irreparable, damage to the business. By reading this collection, you'll learn about risk categories and implementing risk management processes, learn how to harness uncertainty for breakthrough innovation, and avoid common forecasting errors to gain a competitive advantage. Articles by Nassim Taleb, Condoleezza Rice, Robert Kaplan, and other HBR authors will help you build effective risk management strategy and prepare for future challenges. A company's ability to weather storms depends largely on how seriously leaders take their risk management function when the sun is shining and the horizon is clear. Sometimes trying to avoid risk actually increases it, and being willing to take on more risk allows you to manage it more effectively. All organizations strive to learn from mistakes. Few people look for the opportunity to learn something from events that could have ended badly, but everything worked out thanks to a lucky coincidence of circumstances. Leaders must understand and consider that when people are saved from a near-death experience, they tend to attribute this to the resilience of the system, although it is just as likely that the situation itself arose due to the vulnerability of the system.For whomFor executives, heads of companies, CEOs and owners business.
