Some Blind Spots in Risk Management (Bill Panning)
The current financial crisis has spawned extensive debate concerning its causes and cures.  Perhaps it should also prompt risk management professionals to consider whether there are blind spots in their ways of thinking about, measuring, and managing risk.  In his talk Bill will focus on crucial gaps in our current risk paradigms, on the blind spots that they creates and on the psychological factors that make us reluctant to recognize and correct these blind spots.
