The document outlines 6 mistakes that executives make in risk management. These include thinking extreme events can be predicted, believing studying the past helps manage future risk, failing to consider advice against certain practices, assuming risk can be measured with standard deviation, not appreciating mathematical and psychological differences, and prioritizing efficiency over redundancy. The conclusion recommends not ignoring rare but impactful events, accepting limits on prediction abilities, avoiding techniques that preserve an illusion of understanding risk, and changing how risk is thought about to avoid these 6 common errors.

Changing the world: One step at a time
A trillion dollar shift in family wealth is beginning to change the world: one step at a time. See how The G9 'Empowered Families' programme has acted as a catalyst for change within the worlds wealthiest families just by asking one simple question.
Net Impact DFW - s+me! 2011 - Mitch Fine - The Business Case for Green
Mitch Fine, financial analyst with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, makes a presentation at Net Impact DFW's sustainability + me! event about the business case for Green.
Macro 13
This document contains lecture notes on macroeconomics. It discusses analyzing economic events using aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves to determine the impact on inflation and GDP. It also covers transmission mechanisms in the macroeconomy like intertemporal substitution, uncertainty, labor adjustment costs, and time bunching that can amplify the effects of economic shocks. There is a quiz with examples of events like good weather, slower money growth, lower taxes, and an earthquake to analyze using the AD-AS model. The notes also discuss chapter 14 on transmission and amplification in more detail.
The Economic Minute with Lee McPheters
The W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University has determined the winner of the Lawrence Klein Award for Blue Chip Forecast Accuracy for the past 25 years. In 2018, the winner was Ellen Zentner of Morgan Stanley, who had the most accurate U.S. economic forecasts over the previous four years for key indicators like GDP, CPI, and the unemployment rate. Zentner's 2019 GDP growth forecast of 2.5% is slightly below the Blue Chip consensus of 2.6%. The document also mentions a hypothetical "Pink Chip" economic newsletter compiled from the forecasts of the five female economists on the Blue Chip panel that was more accurate over 2014-2017 and costs 20% less than the Blue Chip
Macro 13
This document summarizes key concepts from a lecture on macroeconomics and the aggregate demand-aggregate supply model. It defines the equation for total spending and how changes in money supply, velocity, output, and prices impact total spending. It discusses how the aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves are determined and can shift due to various economic factors. Examples are given of how different shocks would impact inflation and output. The document also discusses transmission mechanisms like intertemporal substitution, uncertainty, labor costs, time bunching, and collateral damage that can amplify the effects of economic disturbances.
DEALING WITH UNCERTAINITY
All estimates are subject to uncertainty, and project schedules are no exception. A schedule consists of a set of tasks, which are executed at times dictated by dependencies and resources.
We Can Change The World - Rotary District 7630 Conference
This document outlines a three-phase approach to solving global problems based on the successful global effort to eradicate polio. The three phases are: 1) Start Throwing Stars (take action first), 2) Build Support and Momentum, and 3) End Game Strategy. It provides examples of how this approach was used to make tremendous progress in reducing polio cases worldwide from 400,000 cases per year in the 1980s to just 356 cases in 2015. If properly applied, this same three-phase approach could be used to make progress on other large-scale global issues like poverty, climate change, and more. The document encourages attendees to donate to end polio and continue the momentum toward the goal of eradicating

Intangibles
The document discusses the growing importance of intangible assets in modern economies, noting that they now account for over two thirds of GDP in developed nations. However, traditional economic analysis fails to properly account for these intangible assets, which can lead governments to pursue inappropriate policy responses based on misdiagnoses of economic problems. The Brookings Institute Task Force recognizes that intangible assets are now critical drivers of value in three key markets.
Break the law of averages and dare to be exceptional
Do you strive to be exceptional, dare to go against the grain, and look for solutions others can’t see because they are too busy doing business as usual or focusing on what’s wrong? Congratulations, you are a positive deviant! According to the science of positive psychology, people who deviate from the norm in positive ways […]
Minimum wage myths
Just the straight facts about raising the minimum wage. There are a lot of myths and frankly misinformation out there about increasing the federal minimum wage in the United States. This presentation just provides some facts about the issue for you to consider.
No-nonsense Risk Assessment - Part 1. What is Risk Optimisation?
This document discusses risk optimization and management. It defines risk as uncertainty in relation to goals, and notes there are two types of risk: negative risks that prevent goal achievement, and positive risks that can help achieve goals. While risk elimination is sought to avoid costs and disruption, this eliminates opportunities and more risks are actually created. True risk management optimizes both negative and positive risks to balance opportunities and uncertainties. The key is not risk removal but risk optimization to get the most from chances without being stopped by threats. Different methods can optimize risks as needed depending on individual circumstances.
Law, AI and Knowledge Management
This document discusses disruptive innovation and the singularity. It mentions Kay Kurzweil's prediction that the singularity will occur by 2050, where artificial intelligence and other technologies will surpass human abilities. The document also discusses Clayton Christensen as the "godfather of disruption innovation" and mentions AlphaGo, Google's AI that defeated top human players at the game Go. Finally, it suggests that living forever may become an inevitability according to futurist predictions, and that the only limit is our imagination.
Day 1 1115_alexander_kjerulf
This document discusses happiness at work and how to achieve it. It is authored by Alexander Kjerulf, Chief Happiness Officer. The key points are:
1. Happiness at work leads to greater productivity, creativity, health and profits for companies. Happy employees are better for business outcomes.
2. There are tools and strategies for improving happiness at work, such as focusing on results and relationships, celebrating successes, taking breaks, and hiring people who are already happy.
3. Creating a happy workplace is good for employees, customers, and investors. The future belongs to organizations that prioritize happiness.
Vulnerability and development
The document discusses the economic impacts of climate change, including the problem, its sources and mechanisms, possible futures, and consequences. It also discusses solutions, focusing on increasing adaptive capacity through available technologies, resources, human and social capital, risk sharing, information management, and decision making. However, future vulnerability depends on uncertain development status and the complex relationship between development, exposure, and adaptive capacity. While adaptation assistance could help reduce impacts, development assistance has proven difficult and adaptive capacity is closely tied to development.
Managing Reputation
Events which massively impact your reputation need to be managed upfront. But which events can can harm you so much? is it the small events that get out of control or the large rare events that you have missed? I am proposing a method which can help you understand where you have weaknesses and help focus your efforts.
Risk Management - Dr.J.Mexon
Risk refers to the possibility of loss or an unfavorable outcome from an action or event. It includes two elements - an uncertain outcome and the possibility of an unfavorable result. There are several types of risk including pure risk (loss or no loss), speculative risk (loss, gain, or no change), and fundamental risk that affects large populations. Businesses also face strategic, compliance, operational, financial, and reputational risks. Perils are the causes of potential losses, such as natural events, theft, riots, strikes, accidents, and economic downturns. Hazards increase the severity of losses from perils. Risk management aims to reduce or mitigate risks and losses through insurance and other techniques.
Significance Of Risk
Risk is defined as the probability of encountering harm or loss. Risk assessment identifies and documents risks to reduce negative impacts. It examines categories like planning, budgets, and legal issues. Risk mitigation seeks to responsibly reduce risk through measures like improved planning, qualifications, and reliability of information. Empirical research supports using risk assessment in high-impact decision making and operational development to improve outcomes.

*Risk revisited
This memo discusses the author's views on risk in investing. Some key points:
1) The future is unpredictable and risk cannot be precisely quantified, but should be viewed as a range of possible outcomes. Experts can provide subjective estimates of probabilities.
2) While many outcomes are possible, only one will occur. Superior investors have insight into assessing the likelihood of various outcomes and whether potential returns compensate for risks.
3) Risky investments must appear likely to provide higher returns to attract investors, but higher perceived risk does not guarantee higher actual returns. The relationship between risk and return is based on opinions, not facts.
Compliance Conference Part 1 V2 20090817
This document summarizes a presentation about people risks, compliance motivation, and organizational culture. It discusses how individual behaviors and systemic failures can interact to create conditions for non-compliance. It uses the example of National Australia Bank to show how a culture of intimidation allowed fraudulent activities to go undetected. The presentation also draws from social psychology research on how authority, social modeling, and moral disengagement can influence people's behaviors and compromise integrity.
Experts on Covid-19 leadership communication
The document provides advice from experts on how company leaders should communicate during the Covid-19 pandemic. It recommends that leaders provide continuous communication to employees and customers to reassure them while avoiding panic. Leaders should focus on safety measures in place, guidance to stay safe, and status of supply chains. When speaking publicly, leaders should select scientific sources, display strong leadership while avoiding personal judgments, and emphasize having a plan in place with evidence of actions taken. The document advises that the CEO and task force heads should be the main communicators.
Sense of urgency
The document discusses using crises to create a sense of urgency in organizations. It outlines four big mistakes: 1) assuming crises will automatically create urgency, 2) manipulating people in a way that causes backlash, 3) passively waiting for a crisis that may never come, and 4) underestimating how crises can damage or destroy organizations. To effectively use crises to drive change, leaders must carefully plan responses and actions to channel energy in a positive direction, rather than allowing crises to breed fear, anger or blame. Well-handled crises can offer opportunities, but they are not a guarantee and always carry risks if not managed properly.
Risk management 6 mistakes
This document discusses low probability, high impact events that are difficult to predict due to complexity but can have severe consequences. It argues that focusing on reducing vulnerability to rare events is important, and that historical predictions often fail because unprecedented phenomena may occur. Insurance is suggested as one way to remedy risks from low probability events. The document also notes that facts and circumstances change over time, and that accurately predicting the magnitude or duration of events is challenging.
Risk management 6 mistakes
This document discusses low probability, high impact events that are difficult to predict due to complexity but can have severe consequences. It advocates focusing on reducing vulnerability to rare events through measures like insurance, and acknowledging that historical data may fail to predict novel phenomena. Standard statistical models based on past distributions are susceptible to surprises from destructive outliers. Large losses can potentially occur from socioeconomic or statistical drivers like hostile policies or departures from textbooks examples.
Uncertainty_and_Risk.pptx
This document discusses uncertainty and risk in projects. It defines risk as "uncertainty that, if it occurs, will affect achievement of objectives." It distinguishes between uncertainty and risk, with risk being the subset of uncertainty that matters because it could impact objectives. The document notes that risks include both threats and opportunities. It also discusses how risk management is important for projects, which aim to achieve specific objectives and deliver value.
Applying behavioral science to security 0320
This document discusses using behavioral science techniques to improve cybersecurity compliance. It explains that people don't lack understanding but lack motivation, so motivating people is key. Three techniques are discussed: nudging to subtly influence decisions, social proof to highlight what the majority does, and positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors. The document provides examples of how these techniques can be applied to cybersecurity, such as frequent personalized communications, sharing anonymous performance comparisons, and rewarding strong performers with badges and time off.
Prieto Black Swans
In 17th century Europe all observable swans were white and by extension all swans were therefore assumed to be white. No non-white swan had ever been observed. In the 18th century, however, black swans were discovered in Western Australia and that discovery undermined the statistics of swans to that date. Previously, the “risk” of a Black Swan was essentially nil, but upon recognition that the improbable was not the same as the impossible the possibility of Black Swans became more likely.
What had changed that made Black Swans more probable? Simply put our perceptions were broadened. In this article we will look at large programs, what creates the possibility of Black Swans and what are some of the new risks we must pay attention to.
Possibility of Black Swans
Program Management is very much about meeting the challenges of scale and complexity. These challenges largely focus on the management of known knowns and known unknowns. But large programs by their very nature move into a new neighborhood where previously rare unknown unknowns are more prevalent. In effect large program risks grow in new non linear ways. What causes this growth? Simply put:
- Scale and complexity move you into a new neighborhood where black swans may be more common
- Scaling drives non linear and non correlated growth in risks
- Complexity masks existing risks
- Complexity creates new risks
So what are Black Swans?
My paper in this month\'s issue of PM World Today tries to provide some guidance for those responsible for large engineering & construction programs.
RGP DIALOGUE 2013
Estelle Jonkergouw of Achmea believes risk managers need to take more risks in how they approach their role. She argues that "not enough risk is also a risk" and that risk managers should challenge businesses more when risks are too high. However, risk managers must also remain alert to potential risks in operations and look for opportunities to mitigate key risks. Effective risk managers are partners to the business who are knowledgeable about market conditions and can enhance decision-making, while still maintaining robust risk analysis. The challenge is for risk managers to actively contribute to organizational change through clear communication and demonstrating courage in standing up for risk management perspectives.

Effective Crisis Communication
Chapter 5 – 10 Lessons on Managing Crisis Uncertainty Effectively
Ulmer, R., Sellnow, T., and Seeger, M. (2019). Effective crisis communication: Moving from crisis to opportunity. Sage Publications. Thousand Oaks, CA.
Defining Uncertainty
Uncertainty – The inability to predict the future.
Lack of Information
Complexity of Information
Quality of Information
Crises create EPISTEMOLOGICAL and ONTOLOGICAL uncertainty.
Epistemological – Uncertainty from lack of knowledge.
Ontological – Uncertainty from a new future created by crisis – The future has little to no relationship with the past.
Lessons 1 - 3
Crises Can Start Quickly and Unexpectedly
Shouldn’t respond with routine solutions
The threat is perceptual
Lesson 4
Communicate Early and Often Regardless of Having Information or Not!
Because of uncertainty, accurate info is not there for stakeholders.
Effective strategies include making a list of potential questions.
What happened?
Who is responsible?
Why did it happen?
Who is affected?
What should we do?
Who can we trust?
What should we say?
How should we say it?
Lesson 5
Ethical Ambiguity During Crises
Organizations should not purposely heighten the ambiguity of a crisis to deceive or distract the public
Ambiguity is “an ongoing stream that supports several different interpretations at the same time”, Weick (1995)
Ethical when – uses unbiased data to inform and contribute to the complete understanding
Unethical when – using biased or incomplete information to deceive
Lesson 6
Be prepared to defend your interpretation of the evidence surrounding a crisis
Lesson 7
Without good intentions prior to a crisis, recovery is difficult or impossible
Questions of Evidence
Questions of Intent
Questions of Responsibility
Lesson 8
If you believe you are not responsible, you need to build a case for who is
Lesson 9
Organizations need to prepare through simulations and training
Crises thrust people into unfamiliar roles.
Crisis demands can bring structures to their knees.
Organizations should train and prepare for crises.
Lesson 10
Crises challenge the way organizations think about and conduct their business
Crises create “Cosmology Episodes” – disorienting experiences in which beliefs and sensemaking structures are hampered. Weick (1993)
They can change how we think about the world.
Organizations and Stakeholders need information to reduce uncertainty.
Organizations in crisis often stonewall
Stakeholders are left wondering if they will get information needed to protect themselves
Media speculates

Crisis Management & Lean Six Sigma
This document discusses how Lean Six Sigma principles and methodology can be applied to crisis management. It argues that many organizations fail to properly interpret statistical risk assessments and warnings about low-probability but high-impact events. These organizations view risks like 1 in 1000 as too unlikely to worry about, but from a Lean Six Sigma perspective, such an event should be expected to occur within 1000 trials. The document advocates that organizations implement regular vulnerability assessments, crisis response planning, training and preparation in order to minimize waste and disruption when such events do occur.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

- 1. THE 6 MISTAKES EXECUTIVES MAKE in Risk Management Article by Naseem N.Taleb ,Daniel G.Goldstein and Mark W.Spitznagel
- 2. INTRODUCTION Forecasting Events- Highly risky to determine Risk mgt models of Bank- increased exposure to risk instead of limiting it and rendered global economic system fragile Complexity- 1) Because of internet and globalisation world has become a complex system 2)increased incidences of black swan also makes forecasting even ordinary events impossible. Just can predict the companies that ignore black swan events
- 3. MISTAKES We think we can manage risk by predicting extreme events We are convinced that studying the past will help us manage risk We don’t listen to advice about what we shouldn’t do eg. $ not lost is $ earned integrate risk mgt activities into profit centers & treat them into profit generating activities
- 4. We assume that risk can be measured by Std deviation We dont appreciate that whats mathematically equivalent isnt psychologically so We are taught that efficiency and maximising shareholder value dont tolerate redundancy eg.Mr.Ricardo’s theory of comparative
- 5. CONCLUSION Black Swan events are increasingly dominating social and economic media, IGNORE them. Do not be in the illusion that you can predict(Black Swan Events) Avoid developing sophisticated techniques that preserve the illusion of being able to understand and predict these events. Need to change the way of thinking about risk Avoid making the above six mistakes
