Hi. Welcome to Riskczar’s Blog (pronounced risk-zar). I chose this name because the czar is often seen as a high-level special adviser. I see myself as your high-level special adviser with almost 20 years of experience in financial, operational risk and enterprise risk management (ERM), and process improvement. I love this stuff. I also love satire. If you don’t have a sense of humour, please go someplace else.
I am not a quant, an academic or an accountant but just a guy who likes disseminating knowledge about risk management in a way that anyone would understand. You will not see any Greek letters or equations in my posts because that side of risk management doesn’t interest me too much nor is that the audience I am trying to reach. I prefer the lighter side - while goofing on the misfortunes of those who failed to practice proactive risk management – just to make the point and make you laugh.

You say, “Risk management is about people and processes and not about models and systems.” Unfortunately, your play on words deceives the reader into believing there is difference between people an processes, and models and systems. In my view, people use theories (i.e., frameworks) to model reality (if there is such a thing) and systematize complexity via process technologies and designs. In the final analysis, people conceptualize solutions via models and systems in order to survive. People who cannot conceptualize via whatever means, are mute on solutions to the problems of enterprise. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I see your point. I meant to articulate that we often place too much reliance of scientific models and technology tools and believe we have adequate risk management. I lean towards the behaviour, cultural and common sense side of risk management.
