<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"We have been working together now for well over a decade. Our journey started with designing a comprehensive risk management education program for the Risk Management Group at the Bank of Montreal (BMO). Following that we developed several strategy and risk programs for the Schulich Executive Education Centre (SEEC) and worked on a risk program for bank directors at the Global Risk Institute in Financial Services. We have learned much along the way from our professional colleagues and the participants. Although our backgrounds are in strategy and risk management for financial institutions, we have worked with people from many different industries, including not-for-profits. We thought it was time to share what we have learned from financial institutions (FIs), which are among the leaders in integrating strategy and risk. This should be no surprise because that is their business. We believe that it is worthwhile to see what is at the leading edge of the integration so that other public and even private companies can reflect on the appropriateness of their integration. We also think our thoughts will be useful for people starting their careers in risk at FIs. To that end, we try to balance the needs of a broad audience with the challenge of being relevant to risk professionals."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Discover the interplay between strategy and risk in this insightful new resource from two experts in the financial industry who have applied their knowledge to multiple industries </b></p> <p>In <i>The Two Headed Coin</i>, accomplished authors James L.

And in <i>The Two Headed Coin</i>, authors James L. Darroch and David Wm. Finnie show you the interplay between the two interconnected forces of risk and strategy. You'll discover how to identify those risks that are essential to the strategic positioning and goals of your organization and those that can be translated into risks that the organization has the capability to manage.<p>A rigorous and practical perspective on competitive advantage undergirds and informs more specific discussions of individual executive and leadership positions like the Chief Risk and Executive Officers. You'll also find out how an unrelenting focus on culture and ethics can minimize the risk of sustaining large losses caused by aberrant and adverse behaviors. Finally, you'll learn how to use real options and scenario planning to create an uncertainty management framework.<p>Ideal for professionals who manage risk in financial institutions, <i>The Two Headed Coin</i> is an indispensable resource for business leaders who hope to create enduring competitive advantage by integrating their organization's concept of risk into their long-term strategic planning.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>DR.
