Books: Risk, Resilience, Security, Safety & Management Sciences (Recommended Reading)

Here are some valuable resources that I found to be instructive, informational, and influential in my doctoral research and throughout my Master of Science (MSc). Some of these resources may be familiar to you, but others are less 'popular', yet far more valuable than many of the usual suspects in the fields and disciplines of risk, security, safety, resilience, and management sciences.

Tip: Check the reference list of ANY seemingly authoritative or popular offering by the 'experts'. Red Flag #1. And, if there aren't any, consider this Red Flag #2, and the biggest. Caveat emptor - buyer beware.

V UCA or BANI?

"VUCA stands for Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.

The VUCA framework is a reminder to consider how to lead and adapt to the challenges of living in a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world. In his book Leaders Make the Future, futurist Bob Johansen provides counterpoints to each that leaders can use: Volatility yields to VisionUncertainty yields to UnderstandingComplexity yields to ClarityAmbiguity yields to AgilityWe live in a VUCA world, but we can handle it.

The VUCA framework originated in the US Army War College.VUCA is an acronym, as opposed to an initialism. Also see OODA Loop. "
