Strategic Risk and Crisis Management: A Handbook for Modelling and Managing Complex Risks
David Rubens, Kogan Page, 2023
The management of complex risks is no longer the concern of large and complex organisations alone. As author David Rubens points out in his latest book, Strategic Risk and Crisis Management: A Handbook for Modelling and Managing Complex Risks, whether a cyber attack, a pandemic or a natural disaster, the modern risk environment impacts all organisations’ ability to respond to and recover from high-impact events.
It is Rubens’ view that the modern risk environment challenges our fundamental understanding of risk and crisis management. A recognised global authority on the strategic management of global events, Rubens is Professor in the United Nations University for Peace at the European Centre for Peace and Development in Belgrade, where he is Programme Director for the International Postgraduate Study Programme in Strategic Risk and Crisis Management. He also founded the Institute of Strategic Risk Management in 2018.
Rubens brings his significant experience to bear in Kogan Page’s latest book, which in his praise for the work, General Stanley McChrystal writes: “Captivating. David Rubens has brought a lifetime of scholarship and practical work on risk and crisis management to a subject we spend too little time thinking or...doing something about.”
Hot off the press, this book covers the integration of multiple stakeholders and the importance of information exchange and critical decision-making under pressure at strategic, tactical and operational levels. It also includes material on leadership and resilience, and the challenges of global urban resilience.
Lessons learned from Covid-19, the WannaCry attack, the Texas snowstorm and the Gatwick Airport Drone Incident make for useful case studies.
The author’s vast insight and rigorous research make this tome essential reading for anyone interested in risk and crisis management, which introduces concepts, frameworks and processes that will offer readers both practical solutions as well as inspiration.
