Unfortunately, many organizations fail to evolve with it. They frequently apply risk management techniques that are proven not to work. These dangerously flawed methods are mere placebos which do nothing to reduce risk and improve decisions. That doesn't need to be the case. In The Failure of Risk Management , Second Edition renowned risk analysis expert Douglas W. Hubbard explains why certain common risk management techniques are causing bad decision making.

Through case studies, review of existing research, and detailed procedures, Hubbard illustrates how decision-makers at organizations in any and all industries can adjust their risk management methodologies to better suit the demands of the modern world. Once you understand the reason popular risk management techniques don't work, you'll know what you must do to ensure your organization thrives in the future. > ?SAM L.
