We not only do not have to do it, neither, with the lack of planning have we tried to eliminate or reduce the risks.

Perhaps further management courses will bring in that concept for you.

The answer is always yes

Not at all, not even selective nations, perhaps just some citizens.

Every action has to be dynamically assessed every time it is undertaken , even if risk assessed previously.

Very well said.
risk is characterized by two quantities:
1. the magnitude (severity) of the possible adverse consequence(s),
2. and the likelihood (probability) of occurrence of each consequence.

If the risk is too big, you don't take it. When the chance that brexit goes wrong is smal, and the negative magnitude is very large. So then the risk is high, and you don't take it, unless you are irresponsible.

Re: Why are people so surprised?

Depends surely what the objective is ? is there anything more important than freedom ? not IMO so I am willing to take any chance no matter how dangerous to be free. Just surviving isn't enough.

There will always be somebody, in the boardroom, maybe, who says that the risk is too high.

Just the same as in the UK Brexit.

Many of those boardrooms, on the high street, are now gone!

Take no risks - stay stuck under the massive EU roadblock.

Take some well researched risks - prosper.

In preparing for a no deal brexit there must be some mettle of research. A little will be enough to open the eyes of those on the helm of the ship of state. Otherwise the ship will fare into the mists of time, never to be heard of again. Only in the legends of the flying englishman.

Unless there is a lack of thought process which seems to be the case with brexit.
