In a crisis of economic and political leadership, who should we turn to for a vision of the future, for the rebirth of our society? Turn to the young, for they shall inherit the earth.

A crisis of capitalism and leadership

Capitalism is coming under attack. The way of the free market, with its gospel of globalization and the primacy of growth and GDP as a

Companies need a rigorous enterprise risk management framework to effectively compete in today's uncertain environment. To help companies understand why they need ERM, here's an excerpt from my take on how enterprise risk management enables the business to move faster and overcome disruption:

The wider adoption of strategic risk management cannot come fast enough to save everyone

What Is Leadership?

Leadership is an important and relevant skill to develop for anyone--across all industries, across all corporate functions, both in and out of the office.  Michele Sancricca is uniquely qualified on this topic, having spent several decades as a leader in both the military and corporate worlds.  

I am privileged to have Michele as a personal friend.  Recently, I took the opportunity to pick his brain on the topic of Leadership.  Leadership topics discussed include leadership tools, leadership mist

What is the hardest thing for a leader to do? Are you thinking fire people, remain calm, manage conflict, make the tough decisions?
 
I think it is something much more fundamental. It is communication. I truly believe communication is the single hardest challenge a leader faces. If you communicate well you will ensure the right people are hired and lead so no need to fire. Remaining calm will be much easier as you won’t need to be exasperated at the actions of others and conflict will be the dom

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of listening to a wonderfully engaging presentation by Alisa Camplin who won the gold medal in aerial skiing at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.  Her story of hard work, heartbreak and of course victory was compelling enough, however, when she said that she used Risk Management to get her across the line, you bet my senses became hyper-sensitive.


Alisa is a long-term IBM employee and now manager of hundreds of staff.  During her quest for gold she was at

My view of the role of the risk profession differs to those who designed and promote the Three Lines of Defence (3LOD) model (at least how it has been interpreted by some).  As with my musings on whether there should be separate risk and audit committees for Boards, (see Blog, 22/11/09 “Should Audit and Risk Committees be Separate?”  and Risk e-Views - Risk Leadership: Should a Board have a Risk Committee? 22/09/12)  I feel risk professionals in organisations need to be advisors and confidants o

Risk Leadership: Young Leadership

Risk Leadership: Young Leadership

One of the great advantages of family holidays is the opportunity to learn from the younger generation. So often there is no end of surprises and you are walking away with your tail between your legs or nodding approvingly.

Why should we look for risk leadership from the uninitiated or those younger than us?:-

"Devil may care" Their carefree attitude can remind us of why we are doing all this in the first place and help shift our risk appetite to a more appropriate

It is often said that the benefits of Risk Management are intangible. No argument here. It's tough to say "You were successful because I helped you manage your risk" when you are talking to an already successful CEO. How then do you demonstrate the benefits of Risk Management?

One approach is around the concept of Intellectual Capital. When we talk about the value of a business, we talk about book value and market value. The difference between book and market value is often described as the intan

One approach for embedding a risk management culture across your enterprise is to develop a team of risk champions within your business. What should you expect of them and how should you equip them?

 

The answers to these questions are not straight forward. When you are dealing with cultural change the strategies that work best will depend on a myriad of elements that have occurred or will be occurring in your organisation. Here are some practical questions to ask yourself that will help you to d

Rescorla, Boisjoly and LeMessurier - These names may not be familiar to you, however they all have a prominent position in James Chiles book "Inviting Disaster".

Rescorla was the head of security at Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Centre at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attack. After the bombing of the underground car park of the World Trade Centre in 1993, he warned the firm of a possible terrorist attack from the air and that the firm should consider moving to another buil

The Golden Hour and the First 24 Hours!

In the vast majority of cases, regardless of the duration, the end success or successful resolution to a crisis is determined by the initial actions in the first 24 hours. Often referred to as the “Golden Hour” in emergency medicine, the initial hour of the first 24 hours is the foundation upon which the primary phase is predicated. The events, information and decision making process during these two phases will place both individuals and multi national cor
