Abstract
Throughout history we have dedicated excessive amounts of time and energy preparing ourselves for some future threat. However, despite all of our modern technological advances, we are often unaware of all the risk factors or unable to predict when something dangerous may happen and in what form a risk may materialize. Over time metaphysical certainties have been gradually replaced by more scientific understanding of risk. But we still have more work to do. Growing levels of dynamic complexity dictate that we must further evolve risk management into a science of predicting, controlling, and mitigating the unintended consequences caused by continuous system changes.
