Rhinos and risk assessments: Adjusting risk assessment methodologies to account for 'unforeseeable' events
Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning ; 15(2):196-204, 2020.

ABSTRACT
It is wrong to describe the COVID-19 pandemic as a 'black swan' (ie a catastrophic event that no one saw coming). Far more apt would be to call it a 'grey rhino' - something that has long been predicted but overlooked by leadership the world over. This paper argues that it is time to stop relying on outdated risk formulas and adjust risk assessment methodologies to account for these grey rhinos. Simply put, it is time to accept that the potential impact of an event is more important than its likelihood.
