SURVIVING AND THRIVING IN UNCERTAINTY
Creating the Risk Intelligent Enterprise

Why can't the cycle of scandal, speculation, greed, and recklessness be broken? With countless sums spent on enterprise risk management, why does it consistently fail at critical junctures? How can you hope to manage that? In a sense, you can't—not in the way you can manage a production facility or a sales force. Conventional risk management, though necessary, is concerned mainly with avoiding risk and protecting existing assets—and simply isn't enough for the survival of your organization.

Starting with a Foreword by the Honorable Tom Ridge—the nation's first Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security—Surviving and Thriving in Uncertainty: Creating the Risk Intelligent Enterprise reveals demonstrated methods you can use to help exercise better judgment and make better decisions under the most risky, uncertain, and turbulent conditions.

Based on their combined decades of experience as practitioners, consultants, and advisors to numerous business professionals throughout the world, recognized industry veterans and authors Frederick Funston and Stephen Wagner look at:

• Perspectives of those who work in risk, from business directors and senior executives to combat pilots, first responders, race car drivers, and astronauts
• How you can use risk management tools proactively instead of reactively to improve decision making
• The ten fatal flaws in conventional risk management . . .
• . . . And their ten corresponding enterprise risk intelligence skills
• Why doing business based on tradition, habit, or on autopilot can mean your business's downfall

This book reveals risk management to be an integral part of value creation and preservation. Get smart in your approach to risk with the timely and relevant guidance found in Surviving and Thriving in Uncertainty: Creating the Risk Intelligent Enterprise.
