Managing Risk and Performance: A Guide for Government Decision Makers

Praise for Managing Risk and Performance: A Guide for Government Decision Makers

“Doing nothing rarely prevents a risk from materializing. Stanton and Webster have given government managers a clear, comprehensive, actionable road map they can use to organize and manage to anticipate and mitigate risks that put their missions in jeopardy. Managing Risk and Performance: A Guide for Government Decision Makers takes lessons learned from effective risk management in the private and public sectors and gives executives a blueprint for using those lessons to bring about a new focus on enterprise risk management in federal agencies and other organizations. The benefits of this approach are immense. The consequences of inaction are potentially catastrophic.”

—Robert J. Shea, Chairman, National Academy of Public Administration and former Associate Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget
