Nassim Taleb and Dmitry Peskov at WorldSkills Kazan 2019: a dialogue on risk-engineering in terms of economic development

This will probably be the most fascinating keynote speech at the WorldSkills Conference 2019, to be delivered jointly by the American publicist, economist, and former trader Nassim Taleb and Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation on Digital and Technological Development Dmitry Peskov.

The experts will discuss the benefits of risk-engineering for creating  better management tools and building a strong competitive economy.

According to Nassim Taleb, almost all events involving major implications for markets, global policy, and people’s lives, are completely unpredictable, and, therefore, traditional risk management used by governments and corporations is useless.

Dmitry Peskov believes that, for a breakthrough, one needs to invest in risk, make a transition from KPI to value management, and shift from prototypes to life-cycle management and venture management schemes instead of avoiding risk.

Certainly, the public dialogue between Nassim Taleb and Dmitry Peskov will gain the full attention of the audience. In the future, the boldest risk-engineering based solutions will contribute to evolution of the economy on the municipal, regional, and national levels.
