Conversely, failure to manage strategic risk can lead to often catastrophic consequences - Enron, Arthur Anderson, Kvaerner and Equitable Life were all seriously affected by a failure to think sufficiently about strategic risk. Most organisations have well embedded procedures for assessing and mitigating project and operational risks. Strategic risks are an order of magnitude greater and, by their very nature, involve a wider range of uncertainty and the interaction between a large number of factors, with major benefits accruing from managing them well and often dire consequences from the failure to manage them effectively. This major new printed guide and CD, compiled by a group of industry experts working under the auspices of the DTI, the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Actuarial Profession, presents in a succinct and cogent way a recommended approach to the management of strategic risk, STRATrisk, and an explanation of how to apply the approach. Among the practical steps recommended are:examination of the key processes already embedded in the organisation to see whether they contain hidden strategic risksadequate follow-through from risk identificationthe use of tools such as horizon scanning, concept mapping, pattern recognition and risk grouping The CD amplifies the information contained in the printed guide and provides video clips and a number of case studies.iLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 297mmItem Length: 210mmGenre: Technology & EngineeringTopic: Business & FinanceSubtitle: A guide for directorsAuthor: No AuthorItem Weight: 124gRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
