The nut:
In the end, this study argues for a corporate risk model founded on persistent senior leader dialogue. The concept should be fine-tuned to monitor and adapt to persistent change in strategic conditions, offering senior leadership clear strategic choices.
Given the year (2017) my guess is this was written by someone unhappy with the 'dialogue' with the White House adminstration at that time.
> The study team found three clear vulnerabilities or shortcomings in current risk convention.
> First, it is excessively focused on near-term military threats.
> Second, it lacks a meaningful connection back to concrete defense objectives.
> Finally, third, it has proven to be an insufficient catalyst for essential post-primacy defense innovation and adaptation.

What a sad and horrible start.
