This month Strategist is looking at what are the major risks that businesses are going to be facing in the 21st century?

Business has always been about risk.It has to be managed, and controlled. But the kinds of risks that businesses are facing are changing all the time.

There is the risk of terrorism. The threat of cyber-crime. And new technologies mean there are new types of industrial accidents that companies have to be prepared for. Even climate change means there may be new types of extreme weather to contend with.

Matthew Lynn discusses the most serious risks that companies are facing in the 21st century with his guests Paul Barry, Head of Risk Management at IBM Global Services, Scott Payton, a business writer and editor, and Martin Vander Weyer, the editor of Spectator Business.
