Too many executives think risk management is strictly for technical specialists. In Risk Intelligence: Learning to Manage What We Don#t Know, David Apgar challenges this misconception. The author explains how to raise the quality of your risk analysis#thus enhancing your "risk IQ"#by applying four simple rules: 1) Recognize which risks are learnable#and reduce their uncertainty by discovering more about them. 2) Identify risks you can learn about the fastest. The higher your learning speed, the more a project is worth pursuing. 3) Take on risky projects one at a time#learning about the risks underlying each before moving to the next. 4) Build networks of business partners, suppliers, and customers who can collectively manage new ventures# risks by playing distinct roles. The book provides two tools for improving your risk IQ#the Risk Intelligence Audit and the Risk Scorecard#and concludes with a 10-step action plan for systematically raising your managerial and organizational risk IQ. Your reward? Smarter business decisions over time.
