Dr David Hillson is The Risk Doctor, with a global reputation as a thought-leader in risk management.
During David’s 35-year consulting career (1985-2020), he developed an approach to understanding and managing risk that was both ground-breaking and practical. He shared his insights with clients in sixty countries across every continent except Antarctica, ranging from major organisations, government departments, international agencies, charities, small businesses and individuals.
Since retiring from active consulting, David has focused on making his legacy available to others through books, papers, presentations and videos, so that they can build on his work and take it further.
His thought-leadership is expressed in his speaking and writing, which blend new ideas and concepts with practical application, presented in an accessible style that combines clarity with humour, shaped by his motto “Understand profoundly so you can explain simply”.

Values
David’s work through The Risk Doctor Partnership has been characterised by four key values:
- Purpose. We are purpose-driven, motivated by principles not profits. Our purpose is to help others to deal effectively with uncertainty wherever and however they encounter it.
- Generosity. We have been blessed with more ideas than we can use ourselves. Where appropriate we will give these away to support our purpose, through our advice, papers, articles and briefings. Otherwise we will charge a fair price when people need to leverage our experience and expertise.
- Efficacy. We want everything we do to make a difference, moving beyond mere efficiency (more for less) and effectiveness (obtaining measurable results) to efficacy (achieving desired goals).
- Contributors. We will be innovative and creative in our drive to generate positive-sum relationships with our clients, partners, suppliers, community and the environment. Our goal is to create prosperity by putting in more than we take out.
David’s ethos is based on the following six principles:
- Integrity. What you see is what you get.
- Reliability. We only promise what we can deliver, and we always keep our promises.
- Relationship. People matter more than projects or profit.
- Applied effort. Success requires hard work on the things that matter.
- Commitment. We don’t give up.
- Mutuality. We always strive for win-win-win.
