It is inspirational to hear words that rhyme where a line and a stanza impart a meaning using the song-like attributes of the articulated statements. The command of a poem makes one remember. It helped some University students recall difficult formulas in integral and differential calculus. It is real and it does work. I’ve used it a lot during my college years singing “The Integral of u” to the tune of “The Wonder of u.”
I have always wanted to write about risk-based management principles in a p

Wow cool! A device that lets you know, via Internet, when your milk is beginning to sour! And a connected thermostat—turning the heat up remotely an hour before you get home to save money…and “smart” fitness monitors, baby monitors, watches…
Slow down. Don’t buy a single smart device until you ask yourself these 10 questions. And frankly, there’s a lot of effort in some of these questions. But, security isn’t always easy. Check it out.

It’s exciting to watch advances in predictive and prescriptive employee solutions. Workday recently announced the release of an application enabling employers to “identify which employee is likely to quit, and what options need to be considered to retain that person”.
Workday is not the first to announce Flight Risk Scores of current employees. Many top Talent Management solutions have made similar announcements in the past several months. It’s a step
You just learned you have a new credit card account by checking your credit or because a bill collector called you. Problem is that you don’t remember ever applying for it. You must find out what’s behind this new account and how it got there.
When it comes to tossing into the rubbish your old computer device, out of sight means out of mind, right? Well yeah, maybe to the user. But let’s tack something onto that well-known mantra: Out of site, out of mind, into criminal’s hands.
Your discarded smartphone, laptop or what-have-you contains a goldmine for thieves—because the device’s memory card and hard drive contain valuable information about you.
Maybe your Social Security number is in there somewhere, along with credit card information
Many companies share some problematic habits when it comes to compliance. The worst of them is treating compliance like a checklist. In other words, thinking, “If we meet these specific compliance requirements, our company should run efficiently and securely.” While this is a simplified outlook, the point remains the same. Being compliant guarantees neither efficiency nor security, but failure to meet requirements can have long-lasting negative effects.
At LogicManager, we view compliance as the

Intuition can be a powerful decision tool, however it is so often misused. If you are not aware of the times when you could or should follow your intuition then you are most likely taking a big chance on the outcome – then you will certainly need guts.
The times you should use intuition are when you are making a decision under familiar circumstances and when there is little time to stop and think the issue through. A typical example is for a fire fighter entering a burning building. Studies hav

The central banks of the United States, England, and German – as well as 2 Nobel-prize winning economists – have all shown that banks create money out of thin air … even if they have no deposits on hand.
The failure of most governments and most mainstream economists to understand this fact – they instead believe the myth that pe

From farm to pharmaceutical, diesel truck to dinner plate, pipeline to plastic product, it is impossible to think of an area of our modern-day lives that is not affected by the oil industry. The story of oil is the story of the modern world.
And this is the story of those who helped shape that world, and how the "oiligarchy" they created is on the verge
The role of today’s risk managers is clear: to close the gap between strategic-level initiatives and the operational risks faced at the activity level.
To do this, many organizations are adopting risk-based GRC programs – both at the request of senior management and to meet the expectations of regulators. A large number of these programs rely on spreadsheets and shared drives to manage information collected across departments and levels. But today’s GRC software solutions are proven to unlock val
