ABSTRACT
Valerie gives a lecture to a business seminar on ‘The future of risk analysis in the construction industry’. Her lecture is in two parts. The first part is a detailed address based upon notes written by herself, expounding two theories propounded by Valerie and issued as materials to the delegates. The materials are marked with a copyright symbol. The first part also includes a short roleplaying section to enliven the address by extracting a volunteer from the audience to illustrate some difficult concepts. The content of this is flexible. The second part of the talk consists of some personal reminiscences, and also includes some stories which are typical in risk analysis and certain commonly told stories in the industry.
