Taming the Risk Hurricane – Masterclass with Dr. David Hillson

Summary

David Hillson, the Risk Doctor, uses the analogy of a hurricane to help us understand the nature of extreme risk in projects and organisations. The conditions under which a hurricane can form can be analogous to the external and internal climate in an organisation which puts it at risk from an extreme event. In this wide-ranging interview we explore how uncertainty and change affect projects, how organisations can develop resilience and anti-fragility to make them less susceptible to, and even able to exploit the disruptive power of extreme risk.
