Q

What are some of the problems with different risk perceptions?

A
  • Differing perceptions on what a risk is (risk ID)
  • People hide or falsify risks for self-interest (risk ID)
  • Differing views on likelihood (risk analysis)
  • Different knowledge (risk analysis)
  • Deliberate under/over statement of severity for self-interest (risk analysis)
  • Differing views on what acceptable (risk evaluation)
  • Incorrect or inconsistent data collection for assessment and treatment
  • Some risks are ‘unknown unknowns’
36
Q

What are two real dangers that may result from differing risk perceptions?

A

1) Organisations mge same risks very inconsistently depending upon the individual managing it
2) Risk Mgrs may seek to achieve greater kudos through focus of efforts on managing stakeholders fears of perceived greatest risks, rather than those that are actually the most significant
