Jak podchodzicie do rozwoju swoich umiejętności, kompetencji? Czy uważacie, że nigdy nie jest za późno na poszerzanie ich?

📚 Recenzja 📚

Do siegniecia po tę książkę zmusiła mnie moja praca. W ubiegłym roku zmieniłam stanowisko i postanowiłam, że pora na samodoszkalanie. Nie zawsze pracodawca jest w pełni zapewnić nam szkolenia, których potrzebujemy, aby jak najlepiej wypełniać swoje obowiązki. Zarządzanie ryzykiem to bardzo obszerny temat i w mojej opinii nigdy nie będzie dostatecznie zrozumiany. Stąd też moje zaciekawienie tą pozycją. Książka jest bardzo dobrze napisana, gdyż osoby o minimalnej wiedzy w tym zakresie mogą od podstaw się wdrożyć. Znajdziemy tu definicje, rodzaje, klasyfikację, przykłady, wykresy, diagramy i inne ciekawostki. To książka do której na pewno będę wracać niejednokrotnie, bo wiedzą jaką mogę z niej czerpać jest na tyle interesująca, że chętnie spróbuję przetestować ją na żywym organizmie. Myślę, że z pewnością mogę polecić tę książkę jako poradnik, pomoc i naukę. Dziękuję wydawnictwu za możliwość przeczytania tej książki.

Is this what they’re actually teaching in business school? This book was filled with corporate buzzwords and lacked substance. It was redundant, and many of its “insights” were, frankly, common sense. Frameworks were frequently cited, but were seldom practically applied. I appreciated the inclusion of more “progressive” aspects of risk management, such as considerations for climate change and diversity within an organization. Overall, however, I was left disappointed by a lack of specificity and quantification in book regarding a field that, in some regard, should be treated as a science.

Desværre oplever jeg den ikke til at atge en holistisk approach til at forklare tendenser, begreber og strategier og hvad formålet med førnævnte er.

Men vigtig baghåndsviden.
