Humans are constantly considering risk, even when we don’t realize it. Risk management is our response to the possibility of suffering harm or something going wrong…and things go wrong all the time! Car accidents, stolen wallets, unexpected bad weather, burnt dinners. The list could go on and on. We are programmed to manage risk. So how does risk management translate into business?
