summary
Argues that traditional risk registers fail and replaces them with a simple radar board with concentric circles that maps external vs internal risks and lets the team move tokens daily or weekly instead of burying issues in a spreadsheet; demonstrates chaos monkey style inoculation—small, planned failures (for example randomly sending a key person home, or shutting an instance) to build resilience; cites use on small projects and in government pandemic supply-chain work with measurable improvement in detection and faster responses.
