Description
โWith an arsenal of studies and statistics, Evans covers fascinating topics, including battlefield strategies, overconfidence, lies, and the tendency to follow the crowdโฆa valuable manualโ (Publishers Weekly) introducing the recently discovered type of intelligence. โRisk Intelligence is really a great contribution for dealing with the biggest challenge we have in an interconnected world: complexity, velocity, and uncertaintyโ (Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum).As acclaimed author and lecturer Dylan Evans reveals in his latest work, there is a special kind of intelligence for dealing with risk and uncertainty. But shockingly, many people in positions that require high risk intelligenceโdoctors, financial regulators, and bankers, for instanceโseem unable to navigate what Evans calls the โdarkened room,โ the domain of doubt and uncertainty.
Risk Intelligence is a travellerโs guide to the twilight zone of probabilities and speculation. Evans shows us how risk intelligence is crucial to making good decisions, from dealing with climate change to combating terrorism. He argues that we can all learn a lot from expert gamblers, not just about money, but about how to make decisions in all aspects of our lives. Introducing a wealth of fascinating research findings and using a wide range of real-life examplesโfrom the brilliant risk assessment skills of horse race handicappers to the tragically flawed evaluations of risk that caused the 2009 financial crisisโEvans reveals the common errors in our thinking that undermine our risk intelligence.
Both highly engaging and truly mind-changing, Risk Intelligence shows how we can improve our thinking in order to enhance our lives. ISBN:9781848877382
