I couldn’t resist drawing this picture in the morning
I couldn’t resist drawing this picture in the morning. This is all you need to know about current risk management best practices, COSO ERM 2017 and ISO31000 2018. Yes, the new standards/frameworks and best practices are BETTER than just doing a list of risks. And if it was 2005 I would be super excited.

Warning when using Palisade PrecisionTree with @Risk
Warning! If you are using Palisade PrecisionTree together with @Risk using default settings the results are most likely inaccurate and missleading. Konstantin Dozhdikov discovered that if you leave the default settings in PrecisionTree, then use it in conjunction with @Risk, the results will be incorrect and unrealistic. I have tested this using different version of Palisade… Continue reading Warning when using Palisade PrecisionTree with @Risk

allthingsrisk ep. 53: Alex Sidorenko – Making Great Decisions “With Risks in Mind”
When Ben Cattaneo started the All Things Risk podcast, he very deliberately stayed away from discussing the risk management profession (which is also my day-to-day profession). This is because he wanted the show to make risk and uncertainty concepts available to everyone. He didn’t want to make a podcast by risk professionals, for risk professionals.… Continue reading allthingsrisk ep. 53: Alex Sidorenko – Making Great Decisions “With Risks in Mind”
Full feedback on COSO ERM draft
Summary of comments STRUCTURED AND LOGICAL – I believe the content of any document, let alone an international guideline document, should be logically structured, should follow the MECE principle, shouldn’t have any unnecessary repetition or duplication. This was certainly not the case with the current COSO:ERM draft. Note to the authors. While the high level structure Applying the… Continue reading Full feedback on COSO ERM draft

Throughout the research literature, overconfidence has been defined in three distinct ways: (1) overestimation of one’s actual performance; (2) […]
