This is a very good introduction to risk management for your company. He covers risk management for the supply chain, IT, product development,project managment etc.. Risk management is a very potent topic with the extreme weather events and political events we have experienced in recent years. This coupled with the extending of shupply chains around the world, made this a very timely book for me. Lynch's credentials are rock-solid in this field, haveing spent his entire career in this arena. He has a second book on supply chain risk management that was not as useful as this one.

Gary Lynch's achievement is to take the management of risk from being a dry governance requirement, many times drafted in isolation, into being an essential component of the corporate decision making process. I recommend At Your Own Risk to all those involved in driving the value chain in their company.

I've been a line positions most of my life and thought about risk in my area, but generally thought it was someone else's problem. Lynch's book smashed through my denial. With an easy to read style with great examples, Lynch demonstrates that "Risk Awareness" needs to be part of a company's culture. I am handing this book out and asking associates to begin asking a lot more "What if..." questions.
