Quotes on Risk


            An unbiased appreciation of                                           People risk is a major
          uncertainty is a cornerstone of                                       component - some would
           rationality — but it isn’t what                                      say THE major component
            organizations want. Extreme
                                                                                  – of risk management,
         uncertainty can be paralyzing and
         the admission that one is merely                                              irrespective of
        guessing is especially unacceptable                                      organisational type and
        when the stakes are high. Acting on                                           industry sector
        pretended knowledge is often the
                preferred approach.                                             Institute of Risk Management
