New Risk Manager’s Handbook Number One Volume Four, Approaching Risk Management, Information Risks, Risk management for Information, The future, SMEs and SOHO
In Volume Four, the author considers communications and information systems. For many this automatically means electronic systems and computers, but the author explains how other older technologies may provide some effective solutions and goes on to relate the ways in which modern electronic technology can dramatically affect risk in other areas of the enterprise, both in introducing new risks and providing solutions for other risk issues. Having considered the way in which communications and information risks related to traditional enterprise structures and operations, the author considered how these new technologies are changing enterprise practices and structures, and how they may develop in the immediate future.
New Risk Manager’s Handbook Number One Volume Three, Approaching Risk Management, Risk management for buildings, Risk management for shared and public buildings, Risk management for travel and transport
Having initially being published in the traditional manner, with a printed paper hard back book, that then went through two reprints to meet demand, the author moved to the then very new medium of electronic publishing which made updating books easy and provided considerable freedom in the choice of layout and use of colour illustrations. This was appropriate for what was also still a pioneering concept in the safe achievement of objectives.
During 2012, the author began a major revision of his work and this volume of Handbook Number One is one of four volumes, reviewing the approach to true holistic risk management. Handbook Number One in its four volumes is a foundation work that sets the basis for later handbooks addressing parts of risk management in greater detail and to assist those working in specific areas of risk management.
New Risk Manager’s Handbook Number One Volume Two, Approaching Risk Management, People and legislation, Risk management for sites
The author wrote the first holistic risk management book in the early 1990s.
