Principles of Management Education

9125672052?profile=RESIZE_400xManagement is not a function nor a blend of functions.  It is a practice best understood by means of experience that are set in context.

All levels of education divide subject matter into definite categories, according to the means of creation of that knowledge, not by the manner in which it is used.  This is true for Management Education as well.

When I run training for the development of risk frameworks, I ask participants to hold up their hand if they have a framework that is more than a couple of pages. I ask them to keep their hand up if it’s more than 10 pages, 20, 50 and I keep going if needs be. The winner so far had a framework that was over 200 pages. I kid you not. No wonder they were there to get help.

A great risk framework achieves your desired goals in the least amount of words possible. It should:

While every business understands the critical nature of regulatory compliance, we frequently hear about compliance violations and massive fines levied by regulatory bodies. Enforcing regulatory compliance is a challenging task because it requires compliance from every stakeholder in the business process. The employee dealing with customers on the front line must be aware of the organization's compliance requirements, but they are only the first line of defense. Then it becomes their manager's re
