		<description><![CDATA[I remember attending a meeting for a change management programme. Based on having sat through some talks on change management, and my reading of a bunch of books and web sites on change management, I said that a better way of approaching change management had to exist. But since we didn&#8217;t know any better at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ This book goes beyond managing &#8216;risk&#8217;, to consider managing &#8216;risk attitude&#8217; - the beliefs and strategies that people hold towards risk. In order to do that the first few chapters have to consider basic risk management and then move on to the more psychological aspects of attitude.

I normally hate business books written in a fictional fable storytelling style. But for some reason I managed to read and enjoy this one - with one or two minor annoyances which we can cover later.
The book suggests that sometimes we cause our own problems, or at least make problem situations worse through our own [...]]]></description>
