Ep. 17: Daniel Wagner - Global Risk Agility and Decision-Making

Risk management needs an overhaul.  It needs to join the 21st Century.  Daniel Wagner and Dante Disparte's new book Global Risk Agility and Decision-Making: Organisational Resilience in the Era of Man-Made Risk not only discusses why this is the case, but also provides a great road map of how to achieve it.

This week, Daniel joins me as the first guest to make a re-appearance on the show.  He discusses many of the book's themes and we have a fascinating conversation that I felt could have gone for hours.  We talk about:

• Brexit - while I never want to date any of my episodes, I thought I'd be re-miss not to tap Daniel's expertise on country risk management and spend some time getting his take on Britain's recent referendum;
• The Anthropecene Era and man-made risks - we spend some time talking about climate change in particular, but the book also discusses things like terrorism and cyber risk;
• Where risk management goes wrong for organisations - short-termism, greed, etc.; 
• Risk agility;
• Systemic issues like corruption and vested interests in global politics;
• Organisations "having a conscience";
• Individual and organisational leadership;
• Disruption
• Common sense
• and much more!

It is a wonderful conversation that I am sure you will enjoy!
