why we are taking this route”

Dragon King
(Sornette 2009)
Black Swan
(Taleb 2001, 2007)
Two kinds of crises
What are you afraid of?
The future is already here. It’s just not very evenly
distributed.
- William Gibson

Agenda
1. Adaptive Risk Management
2. Identifying Phase Transitions
3. Conclusions
27
Manage polarities for virtuous cycles
Outcomes reflect compounding feedback loops which create virtuous cycles or
death spirals (“Rethinking capitalism,” Hanauer & Liu, 2012)
28
Build a Risk Culture with Dynamic
Shared Maps
Energy Phase Transition
29
Mass collaboration platforms empower
social intelligence
“…if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange
them, then we both have two ideas. It's nonzero.“ -- Dean Kamen
(“Abundance” by Diamandis & Kotler)
facebook graph of social relationships
30
Conclusions: Key Polarities
• Fault lines & tremors
• Think big & move fast
• Core & Periphery
All interesting things happen at the edges of the system.
They do not happen at the solid core. In the edges where
things are uncertain is where the evolution happens.

Editor's Notes

  1. We live in an increasingly complex and fast moving world. Predict and control no longer works. A more sensible approach is Sense and Respond. A mountain biking race would be a good analogy. Of course we do all the homework and map out the course, get GPS and weather forecasts. But what makes the real difference is executing on the course, sensing and responding to the changing conditions of the course. This is a paradigm we will take to stress testing.
  2. At FNA we’re map makers. Maps amplify intelligence. They allow us to see hidden patterns in complex data. How are risks connected, and how do they evolve in a complex non-linear network?
  3. This is an image of a brain scan showing abnormal cells in that are early warning signals for MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS in a recent study from UC DAVIS. There are so many parallels between systemic risk management and healthcare. Because our ability to control goes down exponentially after tipping points are crossed, our best chance lies is early detection and action.
