Real stories. Real consequences. Better conversations about risk. If you'd like to look inside, you can download an extract for free or review it on Amazon.
Tales from the Edge brings risk management to life through compelling real-world stories of success, failure, uncertainty and decision-making — from Piper Alpha, Deepwater Horizon and Challenger to the Titanic, Enron, the Ford Pinto and the Miracle on the Hudson.
This is the book of all the case studies that you wanted to create for your training course but didn't get around to. Perfect to pick and choose for debates or assignments or just specific learning points. Each chapter looks at a different case study with a different risk-based learning highlighted in each case study.
Rather than another textbook on risk theory, it uses stories and case studies to explore why things go wrong, why things sometimes go spectacularly right, and what we can learn from both.
