“Risky Business” (Yours!)

Risk is so pervasive in business that we often fail to ask ourselves if we really understand the fundamental nature of it, how to assess it and then manage it.  This short article by Jean Proussen of the Institute of Directors provides a valuable primer for C-Level Executives for thinking about, and coping with that which cannot be avoided; risk and uncertainty.
