RISK RADAR

DESCRIPTION
The new emphasis on anticipating, assessing and quantifying risk that now challenges executives and companies to innovate in a pressure cooker.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
 • Will abiding by the “precautionary principle” require a different form of strategic planning?
• What safety valves exist when you can’t know it all?
• Since “unavoidable ignorance” won’t cover you, where do you draw the “held liable” line?
