Do You Understand Your Risks and Risk Variables?

This Risk! External Brain is still new and under development, but it already organizes a great deal of information organized by:

• What is Risk and Risk Management?
• Individual Risks
• Business Risks
• Societal Risks
• Forecasting Future Risks
• Why Risk Management Fails
• Other Risk Resources

Risk is an interesting topic.  We talk about it all the time, but tend not to specify exactly what we mean. And we tend to assume that everyone thinks about risks in the same way, which isn't the case.

In the process of building the Climate Web. a comprehensive knowledge management tool for anything having to do with climate change risk and risk management, we collected a lot of interesting information about risk more generally, as well as specific risk topics other than climate change. This Mini-Brain organizes some of that material for easy reference and exploration.

Because this External Brain is still under active development, your input and suggestions relating to content and organization are particularly welcome. It is easy to adapt the structure and content of the External Brain as we further develop it.

External Brains can be organized for almost any topic, as you can see at the External Brains website. We welcome your suggestions for new external Brains.
