SWJ: Using Risk Management to Solve Strategic Problems

The Small Wars Journal has published my article on Using Risk Management to Solve Strategic Problems.

Here is an excerpt:

Risk Management, within the field of Project Management, provides a useful paradigm to understand, categorize and develop approaches to solve complex situations. This paradigm can be applied to institutional goals, such as the development and acquisition of superior technical capabilities. I believe it can be applied to National goals such as determining the right strategy for Afghanistan, and look forward to readers’ thoughts on this.

The article briefly introduces the paradigm using examples from the world of engineering and acquisition, then brings it to topic of Afghanistan.
