A New Way at Looking at Risk: From the Pandemic to Cybersecurity and Beyond

12 JANUARY 2021

Bob Zukis will change the way you view the world we live in: it’s one comprising a set of complex systems, from finance and health care, to communications and the environment. Sometimes the failure of a single component can bring down an entire system. And sometimes, as with the COVID-19 pandemic, it can cascade into the failure of multiple systems.

Bob Zukis will change the way you view the world we live in: it’s one comprising a set of complex systems, from finance and health care, to communications and the environment. Sometimes the failure of a single component can bring down an entire system. And sometimes, as with the COVID-19 pandemic, it can cascade into the failure of multiple systems. Bob Zukis, co-author of “The Great Reboot: Succeeding in a World of Catastrophic Risk and Opportunity” offers eye-opening guidance for corporate leaders on how to move beyond traditional risk management approaches to identify and prepare for systemic risks. Bob shares insights from his book as well as from his experience as CEO and Founder of Digital Directors Network, Adjunct Professor of Management and Organization at the USC Marshall School of Business, and Governance & Sustainability Center Fellow.
