Firms active in risk-taking businesses should seek to draw on both quantitative and qualitative approaches to help them manage their exposures. The development of financial mathematics in the 1970s has seen the advent of numerous models and mathematical techniques to help manage risk. Yet, to be really effective, these mathematical models should be combined with the qualitative aspects of judgement, experience, market knowledge and management discipline to ensure a robust risk management framework.
In The Simple Rules of Risk, the author addresses qualitative issues related to the development and implementation of:

Identification
Quantification
Monitoring/reporting
Management
Infrastructure
providing practical details and advice.
