The Failure of Risk Management
|
||
(Why It's Broken and How to Fix It)
|
||
by Douglas W. Hubbard
|
||
|
||
## Key Takeaways
|
||
|
||
Qualititative risk analysis
|
||
(i.e. risk matricies, scoring charts)
|
||
departs from legitimate statistical methodology
|
||
and has no robust evidence to suggest its efficacy.
|
||
There is good reason to believe that such methods
|
||
are deleterious to their intended purpose
|
||
in contradiction to the common response
|
||
that they are "better than nothing".
|
||
|
||
Expected Value (Probability × Magnitude)
|
||
alone can not predict or inform risky decisions,
|
||
except for risk-neutral parties.
|
||
People and organizations are risk-averse
