How many designers does your risk department have?  None you say!  How much
of the curriculum of risk programs is based on design factors?  Next to none
you respond!  When was the last time someone said "I really like the
design of this risk tool."  Are you now laughing?

To be useful, risk systems must be used, and furthermore they must be seen as
being easy to use.  A lack of focus on design leads to clumsy risk systems
and practices that go underutilized.  A little design can go a long way
towards the success and uptake of anything – and this includes risk
management.
