KRISS or KISS

KRISS doesn’t stand for anything relating to risk that I am aware of. I just made it up to get you to read this blog on how to develop Key Risk Indicators. Sorry. KISS stands for “Keep It Simple, Stupid.”

When I work with organisations to help them develop KRIs I use the KISS principle. Because it is way different to the alternative. The alternative is a long list of KRIs that take up staff time to develop monitoring and reporting processes. All with questionable value, especially if your organis

Heading them off at the pass

I loved the movies about the wild west of 19th century USA when I was a kid. A favourite line from the era was “Head ‘em off at the pass”. Meaning, the goodies (or baddies) needed to take a short cut cross country fast to get in front of the baddies (or goodies) to surprise them and “save the day”.
