Interagency Knowledge Management Working Group,Quarterly General Meeting, Washington DC Trust as a Risk Management Strategy: A Knowledge-based Perspective Adrian (Zeke) Wolfberg Office of the Chief of Staff 15 November 2006
Perspective • A Knowledge Organization creates Value- There are risks in creating Value- These risks come about because we need to cross organizational boundaries- “Risk Management” drives out variation in the system – reducing the connections- “Risk Creation” brings in new connections to the system – increasing turbulence
Risk-related Strategies We are interested in the same thing –security. But how we go about it can have different strategies.
