To understand what is happening, make sense of the publications (from different sciences and schools), interpret the frameworks and translate the myriad of languages related to public governance of value and risk, it is wise to reduce the dictionary with concepts as are starting points of our organisation and for our members and network.
It serves as a compass in diagnosis, design, and decision-making. These tools are theoretical concepts and practical aids that help to get not lost in translation. Especially the dictionary of risk is a thick one with hundreds of interpretations. Many pretend to be or want to be the standard.
