Risk Tips, Blogs and a Few Risk Rants

Risk Tips, Blogs and a Few Risk Rants

I recently had someone contact me and ask if I had a consolidated list of all my Risk Tips. I replied to the email with the link to all the Risk Tips, but when I reviewed a few of them I realised something: I hadn’t updated them since the day I wrote them.

So that got me thinking? Why not put together a collection of all my Risk Tips? But then I thought: why not add some Blogs, and then I thought, why not add some of my Risk Rants as well?
So, here it is. All my Risk Tips, a range of my Blogs and some of my Risk Rants updated and remastered; a Greatest Hits if you will.

As a bit of a bonus, I have added an extra Risk Tip, Blog, and a Risk Rant.

When you read this collection, you will realise that I do not conform to the “traditional” approach to risk management, and there is a very good reason for that. I believe that the risk management profession is more focussed on “doing risk management” as opposed to managing risk.

What will also become apparent as you read the collection is that I am not a huge fan of ISO 31000, in fact, I would go so far as to say I am a critic of the Standard.
I spent 20 years in the Australian Army, and we used to have a saying: if 100 people are marching and one person is out of step, is the one person the one out of step or are the other 99?
I sometimes feel that I am the one person in step as I continue to question the common approaches to risk management.

I hope you get some insights and tools from this collection. And that it at least makes you consider that not everything you read in Standards and textbooks is gospel.

100% of the proceeds of sales will be donated to veterans and first responders.
