UTSpeaks - When Risk is Good Type: Speakers/Conferences/Lectures/SeminarsDescription: Is the fear of risk and uncertainty killing creativity?Free public lecture by Dr Theresa Anderson The media is lately filled with tales of people, companies and nations struggling to reduce the uncertainty and risk associated with investments in financial markets. In such times, reducing uncertainty is part of an essential survival strategy. And yet, even in this time of crisis, the very survival of those markets relies on a certain tolerance of risk and uncertainty. Have we insulated ourselves so much that we have lost our agility in responding to opportunity? How much uncertainty can we tolerate to reach greater heights of success? This thought-provoking public lecture explores the balancing act of managing risk for the sake of security and success and our willingness to allow degrees of risk for the rewards of creativity and innovation. Dr Anderson is a researcher with the UTS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, exploring the relationship between people and emerging technologies. She has a particular interest in examining ways that information systems and institutional policies may better support creative and analytic activities. Her earlier doctoral research examined human decision processes, information retrieval interactions and e-scholarship. She was awarded the inaugural annual Emerald/EFMD Outstanding Doctoral Research Award in 2005.
