Corporate Risk Management and Decision Making September 15, 2008

Gary Lynch's achievement is to take the management of risk from being a dry governance requirement, many times drafted in isolation, into being an essential component of the corporate decision making process. I recommend At Your Own Risk to all those involved in driving the value chain in their company.br /br /Thomas Shannonbr /OMG plcbr /br /

I've been a line positions most of my life and thought about risk in my area, but generally thought it was someone else's problem. Lynch's book smashed through my denial. With an easy to read style with great examples, Lynch demonstrates that "Risk Awareness" needs to be part of a company's culture. I am handing this book out and asking associates to begin asking a lot more "What if..." questions.

Lynch gets it right in this book. He takes a broad set of perspectives, experiences and best practices and pieces them together to create a one-of-a-kind mosaic that finally illuminates the real issues we are facing in the business world. He seems to have done his homework, but this is far from an academic-only exercise...it is reality based, practical and useful. Translates an enormous and challenging issue into digestible and actionable guidance. While no one can completely tackle this issue in 300 pages, this book will certainly help you understand where to start.
