Controllability is dead. Long live responsibility!

We have been asked to take a reflective stance towards risk management approaches and discuss one of the many myths and delusions. To start, it is important to say that all organizations and formulated goals are a mental construct. I mean: you are able to touch e.g. the office property, the desks, (if allowed) your colleagues, but you can neither touch the organization nor its goals. An organization is basically the aggregate of the behaviour and decisions of the individuals at a certain location, at a certain time. The organization exists in our minds and this makes that every organization reaps the benefits of, or gets hindered by the (mis-)understanding of the conscious and unconscious behaviour of its members.
