A quick search of business
efficiency and personal development sites on Twitter or Linked-in will provide
a long list of articles on increasing certainty or equivalently decreasing
uncertainty. Of course the risk
management sites, both academic and professional are about nothing else but
reducing uncertainty and increasing certainty.
Another search however will
reveal that there are virtually no postings about how to increase uncertainty. However a more careful distinction needs to
be made. For many things uncertainty is desirable. I am actually a big fan of uncertainty. Uncertainty means opportunity. Uncertainty means greater potential for those
who are willing to work harder or think smarter. Uncertainty means we have a reason to get up
each and every day and be excited about the tasks before us. Uncertainty means we have something to look
forward to. Uncertainty means that risk
professionals have jobs and value to provide.
After
all, the only things certain are death and taxes, and both of those I am not a
big fan of.
