Synopsis

As a longtime leader and innovator in the risk management industry, Ken Bingham holds nothing back, keeping it honest and practical for the reader as he lends his decades of wisdom in support of risk and safety companies, startups, and anyone considering a career in risk management. In his view, the industry has spent more than fifty years of lagging when it comes to leveraging the available data, and with his insights and the insights of his company, Risk Alive, he intends to deliver the industry's understanding not just into the present, but into an exciting future.

Guided by evidential truths presented in a warm, honest storytelling style, The Soul of Risk will positively transform the way you think about a potential career in risk and safety. As Bingham explores and presents the enormously valuable (and currently untapped) data, he presents hidden learnings, renews the call for young people to join this incredibly exciting career path, and turns everything you think you know about risk upside down.

The world has changed. Most businesses and industries are open to sharing data to make themselves better, quicker, and more cost-efficient at what they do. As someone working in (or considering working in) a career in risk management, there has never been a better opportunity to change your perspective on how to use this new horizon of data to make the world a safer and better place. A career in risk and safety is so much more than just a career; with the right tools and the right knowhow, you can, as the subtitle suggests, transform yourself into a modern-day superhero.
