Risk: A User’s Guide

A fresh framework for handling uncertainty replaces a narrow focus on probability with ten dimensions of control that can be adjusted in any context. Drawing on military history and business experience, it reframes risk as something that can be managed through narrative, bias, action, timing, adaptability, communication, technology, diversity, structure and leadership.

Readers looking for a clearer way to think about risk will find practical ideas and exercises that connect foresight with everyday decision making. The emphasis is on building resistance, improving preparedness and creating stronger defences against known and unknown challenges.
