9 Special Risks

 , updated on
Special risks are a category of risk that are difficult to manage for one reason or another. The following are examples.

Dread Risk

A risk that is associated with strong emotions such as fear or protective instincts. People commonly want to drive dread risks towards zero even if its extraordinarily expensive.

Existential Risk

A global risk to quality of life.

Force Majeure

A large scale negative event that you have no power to stop such as a storm, earthquake or war.

Infinite Risk

A theoretical type of risk that can be used to explain why it makes sense to manage existential risks even if their probability is very small.

Passive Risk

The idea that inaction is often as much of a risk as action. People tend to associate risk with action and passive risk is often neglected.

Positive Risk

In many industries it is common to treat opportunities as positive risk. Many individuals find this term absurd or difficult to embrace because they think of risk as exclusively negative.

Residual Risk

The risk that remains after you have managed risk. It is usually impossible to reduce risk to zero.

Secondary Risk

A risk that results from efforts to reduce risk.

Tactical Risk

Risks associated with decisions that occur at high speed.
