Our Vision

How do we help our clients deal with uncertainties?

“All we can know is that we know nothing. And that is the sum total of human wisdom.” – Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace, 1867

At RiskIQ we subscribe to the Knightian view of risk and uncertainty. We actively distinguish between decision making under risk, and uncertainty, and the approaches and tools we use in each case. We do this to avoid complacency and any misplaced sense of security that might stem from a view that all risks are ‘manageable’. In the process we constructively challenge ourselves and our clients to continually strive for broader knowledge and deeper understanding of how we fit into and deal with an unknowable future.
