Risk and Uncertainty • Risk management arises where samples obey the laws* of probability. Gives rise to quantification which increases knowledge. We can make reasonable assumptions, and plan. Measurable Uncertainties: Insurable / Manageable • Uncertainty management arises where samples do not obey the laws* of probability. We have no credible basis of knowing what is around the next corner. Assumptions are a fallacy. Requires resilience, expect the unexpected Un-measurable Uncertainties: Uninsurable / Resilience *Bell Curve (C F Gauss)

Managing Risk and Uncertainty for Opportunity In the absence of certainty, the only way to maintain potentiality is to focus on excellent execution and demonstrable resilience at the same time whilst taking as much acceptable risk as is reasonably possible (Peter Bernstein, Against the Gods, The Remarkable Story of Risk)
