And in the end, ‘nothing happened’. Many of us will remember the late 1990s, when all thoughts turned to the bug in computers around the world. Some digital timekeeping stored 2-digits for the 4-digit year, so 1900 was indistinguishable from 2000.
Oh, the calamity predicted, and solved, at the time. So, when the clocks ticked over and we carried on, there was a cry that it was all a hoax and a beat-up.
I guess we’ll never know, because there’s no parallel universe where nothing was done, to compare.
This is risk management’s challenge: if it’s done right, nothing happens.
