Risk -

Risk and danger. Opportunities and profits

Productivity is not possible without risk. You cannot build something with the chance of it collapsing. Or that it works today and not tomorrow. OR not for a while. The most important exponent of this, the most well-known is perhaps: the malfunction. We assume that the Internet always works, or a website, but sometimes it fails. If it concerns a stock exchange link, on which millions of people depend, then there really is a problem. Another example is a highway, where an accident occurs. That can lead to the same kind of problems: the connection no longer works.

On a personal level, the concept is also important. Although we often do not think about it. But what is the risk that something fails? Or that you build something, in terms of software, and it does not work, and someone suffers damage as a result.

Or more generally. You start a project and are unable to complete it. Or it costs too much, or when it is delivered there is no longer any demand for the application, because the world around it has changed.

Then of course there is also the other side: chances, profit and possibilities.

An attitude towards Risk. One person consciously or unconsciously takes more risk than another. You can gain insight into how much risk you take here, by performing a specific assessment. [see resources.]

Philip Galle - Periculum This is an etching from the Rijksmuseum made between 1585 and 1590. Periculum is Latin for a number of translations: trial, experiment, but also danger, to venture something. The word can be found in the English peril. In Dutch and German, danger is an alternative use. The English fear is hidden there again.

Opportunities and return

In addition, there are opportunities for professionals (P, Self-employed / free-lance & Entrepreneur) to develop themselves and opportunities to make a return (specifically for investors)

The question here is whether you are someone in your professional role who is more likely to see or have to find obstacles, or someone who feels more at home in the Bull's camp. Going for something with force. Seeking profit. Seeing opportunities. Not being in the group of the counterargument, but with the club that takes the lead. Offensive or defensive.

But how exactly can risk be measured? We use a special model for this.
