Retired four-star general in the U.S. Army, Stanley McChrystal in his new book, Risk: A User’s Guide , describes how an organization can develop the capabilities that enable it to identify, assess and then respond to risks that could potentially threaten its very existence. Instead of building contingency plans as a planned response to preidentified risks, Gen. Stanley McChrystal recommends building a strong Risk Immune System that positions your company to react effectively to any risks as it occurs. This Risk Immune System is comprised of ten operational control elements: Leadership, Communication, Narrative, Structure, Technology, Diversity, Bias, Action, Timing, and Adaptability. By consistently proactively managing and strengthening these operational control elements and eliminating any developments that may restrict your company’s ability to adapt to changes, leadership fortifies a company’s Risk Immune System. This book provides excellent insights into how a management team can successfully position a company to adapt and improve in response to changes in the environments and marketplaces where it operates.
