Can you give examples of risk management failures?

Sure! One notable example is the 2008 financial crisis, where banks underestimated the risks of mortgage-backed securities.

What were the consequences of that failure?

The consequences included a global recession, massive bailouts for banks, and significant job losses worldwide.

Are there any other examples?

Yes, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010 is another example, where inadequate risk management led to environmental disaster.

How can companies improve their risk management practices?

Companies can improve by conducting regular risk assessments, fostering a risk-aware culture, and implementing robust monitoring systems.
