Dr Louise Pryor, Centre for Risk Studies: Because models are simplifications they are bound to be wrong

At the Centre for Risk Studies’ 4th Annual Meeting, leaders and decision makers from business, government, inter-governmental organisations, academia and NGOs explored the links between risk and strategy.

Challenging the customary perception that risk is the threat of loss with predominantly negative undertones, the annual conference encouraged broader discussion about opportunities that emerge in a risky environment.

Because models are simplifications they are bound to be wrong argues Dr Louise Pryor, a Risk Researcher at the Centre for Risk Studies.
