Education as the ultimate finite game. We are taught from an early age that learning can be solved, programme advised, and is a matter of decoding a riddle that has a set meaning within a set time. There is no contingency, no no unknown, no risk.

Is it any wonder that we address our professional work in the same manner by creating structures that solve known and pre constructed risks?

Imagine instead of a weekly risk steerco meeting which go through the same agenda points and looks at the same metrics and traffic lights, convening a weekly meeting where participants from all levels are asked to to highlight their five biggest concerns? Rather than aspiring to green traffic lights, actively search for red ones.
