In his book “The Black Swan” Nassim Nicholas Taleb has shown that the world is driven primarily by the big unexpected changes rather than the small ones you find considered in your business forecast scenarios.

Well, apart from the fact that risk management teams often operate in the way criticised by Taleb, one single team cannot transform an organisation into one that has the best chances to excel under uncertainty. Getting your business Black-Swan-Ready constitutes a fully-grown business transformation requiring different skills, different people, new ways to manage and reward people, different KPIs, … you name it.
