Research Partnerships

Advancing risk management theory and practice through collaborative research and shared innovation.

Our Research Philosophy

The most significant advances in risk management emerge at the intersection of different disciplines. We believe in open collaboration, shared discovery, and practical application of research insights.

Open Research

We share our methodologies, findings, and tools openly. Good ideas spread faster when they're accessible, and collaboration improves them.

Applied Focus

Research should solve real problems. We prioritise work that can be implemented and tested in practice, not just discussed in theory.

Interdisciplinary

Risk management benefits from insights across disciplines - from complexity science to psychology, from network theory to organisational behaviour.

Current Research Areas

Probabilistic Risk Networks
Beyond traditional risk matrices

Developing practical applications of Bayesian networks and MCMC simulation for complex risk environments where traditional approaches fail.

Current Questions:

  • How do we communicate uncertainty effectively to decision-makers?
  • What network structures best capture different types of risk relationships?
  • How can organisations update their risk models as new information emerges?
Antifragility Measurement
Systems that gain from disorder

Research into practical frameworks for assessing and enhancing organisational antifragility across different contexts and scales.

Current Questions:

  • Which organisational characteristics predict antifragile responses?
  • How do we measure improvement through disorder objectively?
  • What interventions most effectively enhance antifragility?
Emerging Risk Detection
Early warning systems for novel threats

Investigating methods for identifying novel risks before they fully manifest, using weak signal detection and pattern recognition approaches.

Current Questions:

  • What patterns precede the emergence of new risk categories?
  • How can organisations balance sensitivity with false positive rates?
  • Which data sources provide the most valuable early indicators?
Risk Communication
Bridging technical analysis and decision-making

Understanding how to communicate complex risk insights effectively to different stakeholder groups, from technical teams to executive leadership.

Current Questions:

  • How do we convey uncertainty without creating paralysis?
  • What visualisation approaches best support risk-informed decisions?
  • How can we improve risk intuition in non-technical stakeholders?
