Welcome

Out of Nowhere provides top-down risk management services for IT and Software Engineering organizations. We can provide you a complete risk analysis and mitigation strategy in a straight forward, unbiased, and pragmatic way so you can make informed decisions and get the most out of your business.

We provide clients with "the outside view" to produce realistic depictions of risks. This bypasses much of the cognitive and political favoritism, such as optimism bias and strategic misrepresentation, and gets to the heart of the matter. By conducting "top-down" technical and business risk analysis, we are able to identify risks that fall between the typical "silo risk analysis" techniques.
