Mumpsimus Revisited: Essays on Risk Management

About the Book

Mumpsimus Revisited is a collection of short essays from the pages of Risk Management Reports, a periodical that the author has published, edited and written since 1974. The subject is risk management, a discipline for dealing with uncertainty in our personal and organizational lives. These essays are deliberately provocative, irreverent, controversial, contrarian and challenging, drawn from the author’s forty-plus years of consulting, speaking, writing and reading.
