My personal risk philosophy is, keep it simple, be sensitive to your surroundings so you can quickly adapt to the changing environment, stay focused on the most important objectives and most importantly follow a disciplined approach and don't get distracted by all the noise in the environment.
After publishing my first book,Chaos to Clarity, I stumbled upon an article that described the ancient rune Jera (pronounced Year . Ra). The runic alphabet emerged sometime between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century. The runic alphabet known as Elder Futhark consists of 24 runes one of which is Jera. I noticed an interesting relationship between the description of Jera and two important risk management principles; stay focused and practice a disciplined approach.

Organizational culture is an amorphous element of an organization that drives people to exhibit behaviors, both good and bad, which inevitably overpowers their personal belief system. Cultural Calamity examines a number or risk management disasters that were driven by organizational culture.

I have been increasingly frustrated by ineffective risk management in the IT industry. My frustration was the driving force to write this book. Chaos to Clarity: The Tao of Risk Management is my attempt to bring clarity to the murky practice of risk management. Tao is commonly thought of as a series of principles to live by. The goal of Chaos to Clarity is to present basic risk management principles I have found to be highly effective over the years.
