July 15th – Jonathan Norman, Publisher of A Short Guide to Facilitating Risk Management (Short Guides to Business Risk)

Jonathan believes that risk management is a fundamentally human process. His Short Guide to Risk Series for Gower is designed to be part of the talking cure for risk; to provide people (risk specialists, functional managers and senior decision makers) with a shared vocabulary and a set of perspectives for looking at, discussing and addressing risk – in whatever form; effective risk management is a learned skill … the more we practice, the better we become at handing not only the risks that are familiar but also those for which we may have no existing frames of reference. Jonathan is Publisher at Gower Publishing, responsible for a program of around 80 new titles a year that span a wide subject area within business and management.
