The problem
One customer is 40% of your revenue. You already know how this story can end — you just haven’t put a number on how exposed you are, or what it would take to survive the day they leave.
Risk registers become theatre: every line marked “high,” none of it driving a decision. Meanwhile the process that fails quietly keeps failing until it fails publicly, the liquidity that looked fine has six weeks left under stress, and the dashboard that would have warned you was never built.
Real risk work isn’t a colour-coded grid — it’s running the nightmare on paper before it runs on you. The tools exist; most businesses just never use them.
What this book gives you
How to Master Risk Models gives you the 18 frameworks that make risk a decision tool instead of a compliance ritual — each a full chapter with the model behind it.
- Enterprise Risk Management
- The Risk Heat Map
- Credit & Liquidity Risk
- Value at Risk
- Stress Testing
- Monte Carlo Simulation
- Key Risk Indicators
- Concentration Risk
… 18 in all, from the risk register to Monte Carlo.
See it move
Model your concentration risk and stress it: what happens to cash and covenants the day your biggest customer halves its order? Run the liquidity model forward and read the exact date the money runs short. Better to meet that date in a spreadsheet, months early, than in a board meeting with no plan.
