A practical approach to
managing global initiatives and risks
We are now living in a world
of accelerating, but unmanaged, risk. The 1997 Asian Capital Crisis and the Haze are just
two examples of a phenomenon which recurs with frightening regularity around the world: a
global system (capital and environmental) which operates with no effective monitor and no
effective response mechanism should something go wrong. The accelerations of global
distribution and delivery systems have intensified a dangerous set of issues, problems,
and risks which are, under the current system, either unmanaged or unmanageable.
Extracting a set of internationally tested management structures and operating principles
from effective multinational corporations and applying them to non-business challenges,
author Mark Daniell describes a common practical approach that could improve significantly
the management of global initiatives and risks, including the environment, global finance,
and cyber world issues.
