Riassunto

The modern business climate demands a new risk management strategy

Mastering Strategic Risk: A Framework for Leading and Transforming Organizations is a comprehensive guide to redesigning organizational systems to better manage the risks and complexities of the modern world. Based on the notion of "Create, Facilitate, and Support," the book provides a roadmap to ensuring optimum performance in even the most challenging circumstances. Whether applied to a system or an entire organization, the ideas presented can help unlock a business's potential and ensure a sustainable advantage.

Modern business leaders face unprecedented challenges, and risk management has become a strategic priority. Traditional management frameworks are outdated, and cannot be re-tooled to effectively account for the demands and complexities of the 21st century. Instead of adjusting old, ineffective models, businesses are better served by implementing an entirely new model custom-built to lead organizations through today's business environment. Mastering Strategic Risk describes this brand new framework, and provides the tools and background leaders need to remain effective in this new age. Topics include:

• The three forces behind customer behavior, competitive advantage, and a culture of discipline
• New major change agents that drive complexity and intensity
• Tools that help identify and mitigate the biggest risks to operations
• A new HR model to drive peak performance and galvanize employees

The book contains well-known real-world examples from Wachovia, Toyota, World-Com, and Citrix, that illustrate key concepts within the new framework and demonstrate the core elements of modern risk management. For the savvy leader looking to push an organization to the next level, Mastering Strategic Risk: A Framework for Leading and Transforming Organizations provides a brand new model for effective management.

"Books, such as this one by Joel McPhee, which address Risk Management appropriately, as this one does, are invaluable in advancing knowledge in this important discipline. Too often Risk Management is viewed as risk avoidance, which is simply a path to an unsuccessful end. Understanding and wisely addressing and mitigating the risks a business faces lead to success. Joel addresses that appropriately in this insightful treatise. The complexities impacting business decisions require disciplined approaches to risk identification, capture and mitigation and Joel's writing provides a methodology to successfully execute one such disciplined approach."

"Unprecedented and fresh insight! For too long we've created an atypical division between our organic world and socially constructed systems. Moreover, as our social systems continue to fail, we overlook the numerous lessons found in our natural world and repeatedly turn to the same flawed systems for answers.

This book is a must read for managers and future managers who will provide transformative and sustainable organizational leadership."
