Breaking the mindset that risk management is insurance
Breaking the mindset that risk management is insurance
Foundations
In the world of F-22 Raptor flight test engineering where I came from, failure was not an option and neither was insurance.
Business is about taking risks, not being stifled by risk management practices that don’t work and are often the result of academic exercises instead of practical, real-world experience. It’s about rapidly identifying critical and strategic risks and then addressing them with the best and most effective countermeasures that will enable your core business to grow, your ideas to flourish, and your objectives to be achieved. Risk management should support the business; yet, all too often it only “checks a box” and even slows progress.
At The Feagin Company , we excel at sustainable, integrated, and effective business management processes that help businesses run faster, better, and at lower costs. Your objectives are important to us and we look forward to celebrating your success by enabling decision making capabilities and processes that support the “upside” of intelligent risk-taking and the achievement of opportunities.
