The futurist Alvin Toffler
passed away last month. He is perhaps
best known for his book Future Shock, or for coining the term “Information
Overload”. He was an astute observer of
how technology was changing the workplace and indeed our everyday lives.
Often asked about the
characteristics and skills needed to succeed in our evermore technological
world, Mr. Toffler had this to say; “The illiterate of the 21st
century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot learn,
unlearn and relearn.”
In
risk management I fear that we may have forgotten how to learn, unlearn and
relearn. Perhaps it is time to take
stock of what assumptions, strategies, tactics and measures of risk management
that you need to learn, unlearn and relearn.
