Summary

Risk isn't just about statistics and calculations. It's about asking and answering the right fundamental questions. To build effective risk management, we don't just need to turn data into backward-looking risk reports. We need to create a risk culture in which employees have the necessary skills and in which they can respond optimally to any risk situation in order to create added value and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
And that's what I can do.
