Posted on May 14, 2012 by Scott ~ 0 Comments

In early 2011 we discussed the top risks for 2011, leading into 2012.  A little over a year later we thought it prudent to cover what we see are the Top 10 risks for the rest of 2012 and leading into 2013.

The rapid change in the consumption of technology is overtaking Moore’s Law as the most talked about rule.  Quite simply, over the last decade there have been a significant number of advances in consumer technology and what we have seen is the ever increasing trends in consumption patterns surrounding these new technologies.

We need more glass half-full risk managers

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Scott ~ 0 Comments

Way too many risk managers, risk experts, and risk professionals are glass half-empty people.  Of course the role of risk management is to focus on  the potential things that can go wrong, but that does not mean that the risk manager has to be negatively focused.  In actual fact, it is that negative focus that has made risk managers the type of person that businesses wish to avoid rather than engage.

Finding operational risk data and having it work for you

Posted on March 3, 2012 by Scott North ~ 0 Comments

One of the most important roles of a risk professional is to be on the front foot with information. The expectations of the organisation, and most likely your CEO, is that as the Risk Executive you have an ear to the ground and an eye on the horizon.

Quite simply, unless you are superman, covering such a broad area with one mind is going to be a massive challenge for anyone. So, how do you confront that challenge, because confronting your CEO with why you cannot be on top of everything operational is most likely a career limiting move.

So, how are we confronting the challenge?

Where is risk management going?

Theoretical scientists spend many hours considering the universe and everything in it, about it and around it.  They ponder the very fabric of how things are made and also determine the theories around everything scientific in nature.

Does this have anything at all to do with risk management?

What are the key attributes critical for leaders? What are the attributes of people that show leadership through leading others regardless of their role in the organisation? Leadership is not defined by hierarchy, grade or level of pay.  It is defined by the response of those around you.

Some retail risk therapy

We want to help in our way,  so here are the top 5 risks for the retail industry and some thoughts on potential controls.  Personally, as a consumer, if the retail industry did not have these as their top 5 then they were not doing risk management.  But, that is just my opinion.  Back to the risks themselves.
