On the Origin of Risk Book Launch

The author Adam Timlett will give a talk about his new book: On the Origin of Risk.

On the Origin of Risk, which will initially be available on Kindle ebook, presents a new way of understanding the deep biases we have in the business and scientific communities in our theories of risk and the core concepts we use to manage risk, especially as organisations.

In this talk, Adam will present the evidence and argument from cutting-edge biology that risk is managed differently in organisms in Nature, and that we must learn from Nature in order to develop new theories and lead our mathematics of risk in new directions.

In the final half On the Origin of Risk sketches out what these new directions look like. It presents the beginning of a new way to look at problems of risk, including a technical appendix that adds new details on the new mathematics of risk which leverages our latest empirical knowledge of biological systems and original research by the author.
