About this title

Review:

'Reading this report will make company directors think hard - and few will decide to ignore its cogent and direct advice * Very well written. Not a wasted word * Cameo case studies very helpful to illustrate the points made in the text * --Dr Martin Barnes, Executive Director, The Major Projects Association and President, The Association for Project Management

Strategic risk (STRATrisk) encompasses the most important risks that an organization might face, that would make a major difference to its ability to achieve its main objectives, or even to survive. This Guide is directed at the board level, where responsibility for STRATrisk must lie. I thoroughly recommend it. --Lord Broers, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering
