StrategyDriven Podcast Episode 5, Introduction to Organizational Performance Measures, serves as a foundation for the upcoming series of podcasts on the best practices associated with organizational performance measures.

Decision-making often involves trade-offs. Risk aversion suggests that all things being equal, decision-makers will select the option having the lowest risk.
