The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking

                                                J.K. Galbraith

 

Thinking is hard work.  It takes time, it takes energy, and it forces people to become engaged and immersed in the process.  In short, it sucks.  However it is also necessary.  And it can be enlightening.  Furthermore it can be invigorating!

Is your organization adopting conventional views to avoid thinking (and to follow the rest of the lemmings off of the cliff), or is your organization taking the invigorating and refreshing path of thinking that leads to new insights and opportunities into risk management and beyond?
