Dr. Jeffrey Edwards, founder and chief risk strategist of FFERM Technologies, joins host KJ to challenge the financial industry's decades-old reliance on likelihood and impact heat maps for risk management. He traces that methodology back to a 1984 Department of Defense weapons framework that was never designed for financial services, and explains why it leaves institutions blind to risk contagion, compounding, and black swan events. The episode makes a compelling case that the next major financial collapse is not unpredictable. It is just being measured with the wrong ruler.

 

Key Takeaways:
4:58 — Where did the financial industry's risk management framework actually come from?
14:28 — What happens when two separate risk events collide at the same time?
15:32 – When should an institution stop relying on the heat map as its primary risk tool?
23:19 — How does FFERM Technologies transform a risk score into something actually useful?

 

Quote of the Show (13:09):
"Math can guide you down the wrong path if you're asking and looking at it the wrong way." – Dr. Jeffrey Edwards
