"The book is extensively illustrated with detailed practical examples from real life, including calculations and charts. The rich conceptual content and practical detail mean this is not a book you can read over a weekend. But tackled patiently, a section at a time, over a period, it will make most intelligent managers into better managers." Matthew Leitch is a consultant, author, business school educator and risk standards committee member whose website is www.WorkingInUncertainty.co.uk "What the field urgently needs is thinking that takes us to the basics of what risk and uncertainty are, and looks at them in a fresh way. This book is indeed such thinking, introducing important new fundamental concepts such as 'clarity efficiency' and the 'estimation-efficiency spectrum'" - Professor Terry Williams is Director of the Risk Institute, University of Hull, UK.

"The book is illustrated with practical examples drawn from the author's long experience of working with businesses and government departments in wide range of different industries and countries. If you deploy only some of the tools and techniques that are described, it is difficult to see how your planning process cannot become more enlightened." - Martin Hopkinson is a project risk professional and author based in Winchester, UK.
