Did you see the 2008 fiscal crisis coming? How about the next one? Shift your perspective to spot emerging risks.
Recommendation
Lloyd’s sponsored this report on risk identification for the insurance industry, but don’t let that fool you. This is a focused, methodical overview that a wide range of readers will find useful. It explains the current understanding about human behavior in assessing risk. It addresses the impediments to clear thinking and identifying risk accurately that arise from organizational structures, human nature and society. getAbstract suggests this enlightening study to insurance and finance professionals, investors, innovators and anyone charged with “minding risks.”
