Riassunto

World of Risk Next Generation Strategy for a Volatile Era We are all now living in a world of accelerating but unmanaged global risk. This book provides a fresh and creative look at risk and its impact on some of the most critical challenges of our time. It outlines a new state-of-the-art model of global strategy and leadership and applies it to provide improved solutions to the rising set of risks inherent in economic crises, crime, disease, the environment, the poverty gap, the unpoliced cyberworld and the erosion of our traditional systems of culture, value and belief. Unlike prior analyses that only highlight problems, World of Risk presents an architecture of practical solutions that can truly make this a better world for the next generation. "Mark Daniell has written a thought-provoking masterpiece with perfect timing on the eve of the millennium. He covers multiple issues of potential danger in the world we live in and sets a strategy for dealing with them. He writes with great clarity and insight on every subject including the commitment of the individual and the collective global responsibility of our leaders and institutions in combating the horrendous risks around us in what he calls a 'dangerous cocktail.' This is a must read for leaders of communities, businessmen, managers of any enterprise, politicians and any member of a family. A great read to start the millennium." Simon Murray former Executive Chairman Asia Pacific, Deutsche Bank and Chairman, GEMS "As complexity and pace of change are rapidly increasing, new ways of thinking become crucial. Mark Daniell's book offers a valuable new approach. Starting from the concept of risk and its transformation he develops an original and innovative way of looking into our future scenario and option spaces. Highly recommended for those who want to stay ahead of the crowd regarding the quintessential skill of the future: thinking." Dr Albrecht A.C. von Muller Founder and Chairman, Think Tools AG
