"As always at HBS, I looked forward to creating a network of professionals who work on common problems. I also had the opportunity to test and challenge my accumulated insights and opinions on the broad area of risk management. This included listening to the thinking and framing of the subject through the faculty and case studies, absorbing the class contributions for new ideas, and confirming some enduring aspects of managing risk across the worlds of business and government."
