Risk Management and Football

October 16, 2013
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM EST

PDU accredited
Presented by: Daniel Persa and Roberet Charette

What the great football teams do – and the best companies as well –is to coldly and calculatingly manipulate and exploit to their advantage the root causes of risk: time, control and information uncertainty. Wherever possible, great football teams and companies attempt to create risk mismatches: situations where they increase the risk to their competitors’ plans and actions while simultaneously minimizing risk to themselves. Great teams and companies create winning mismatches through a combination of technical innovation and solid operational execution aimed squarely at the root causes of risk. In this webinar, Dr. Robert Charette, President of the ITABHI Corporation, and well known author on the subjects of risk entrepreneurship and innovation, along with CAI’s own Daniel Persa, former standout quarterback for Northwestern University who holds the Big Ten single-season record for completion percentage, describe how football teams actively manage risk to their advantage, and how companies can learn from their experiences.
