2013-06-01 Uprooting Terror The senselessness of the Boston bombings prompt risk management musings. MORE 2013-05-01 Who is the Real Gambler? Cheering for the underdog is a big risk and yet we all do it, don't we? MORE 2013-04-12 Mission Control Often I think that being a corporate risk manager is much like being a medical doctor. The patient is the organization. The risk assessment process is the medical diagnosis procedure. A doctor assesses many symptoms, and their cause-and-effect relationships.

No matter how knowledgeable or credentialed, something about this person prevented us from having faith in them. MORE 2013-02-19 Instant Gratification or Regret I'd like to compare two recent events. Both events occurred with communication companies to which I subscribe. MORE 2012-12-18 Price of Guarantees A new shiny object sits on my desk.

A warm summer evening, a tree-lined street, the sound of kids running around laughing, biking, playing a game of street tennis, hockey and skipping rope. The sound of an ice cream truck's bells tinkle in the background. MORE 2012-09-15 Murphy Proofing Three recent events have made me very philosophical. The first involved the renewal of an insurance policy for my firm. Due to many factors, we were at risk of possibly missing the renewal deadline and temporarily losing coverage. MORE 2012-08-22 Giving Peace of Mind The following scenarios are ripped from the headlines and as a risk manager who is now analyzing risk for a large-scale special event, they have got my full attention. MORE 2012-07-24 Statesman or Spoilsport? So many wondrous feats are taking place this spring and summer: The Nik Wallenda high-wire walk across Niagara Falls, the UEFA Euro 2012 in Poland/Ukraine and, of course, the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in London.
