Concatenation of Risk

Currently reading J. Davidson Frame’s “Managing Risk in Organizations”.  Great example of a seemingly insignificant event cascading into a major headache.  The printing press experiences a fire and will not be able to deliver brochures expected to be that were supposed to come today.  These brochures are needed for a client’s conference in two weeks time. All the arranged plans to sort, label, and send them out have to be replanned.
