Risk Type Compass

Two independent systems contribute to this:

• Emotion  (how anxious or fearlessly risk-embracing we are), and 
• Cognition (the  degree to which we can tolerate uncertainty or need to make sense of everything). 

Emotion and Cognition combine in predictable ways to  establish each individual’s distinctive decision-making style. 

Research  demonstrates how these individual differences in risk instinct are  compounded within the dynamics of group thinking, creating the undercurrents that shape our decision making.

Accurate identification of these all-important risk instincts will enhance decision-making performance at all levels of the organisation
