Sample Chapter:

Many companies and organizations in the world consider risk management as a separate discipline, a sort of auditing/compliance nuisance forced on them by governance rules or fearful upper management, resulting in the feeling that risk management may not be adding value to their business (Financial Times, Special Report, Risk Management, May 1st, 2007). Very seldom is risk management seen as an investment to generate positive outcomes.

This section deals with the mindset change necessary to go from a downside risk management, i.e. an investment to manage future possible losses, to an active development tool.

Such integration allows better decisions to be made, which best blend upside risks (profits, gains, advantages) with downside ones (possible hazards on the road).

In order to carry out the blending of upside risks and downside ones in the real world and help with the shift of focus from the classic downside risk to the new, blended vision, we suggest the path of integrating quantitative risk in decision making processes.
