โข Riskpro is Indiaโs first national practice dedicated to risk management services and training, corporate governance, and global regulatory compliances.
โข Risk can be defined as a prospect of loss or reduced gain that can adversely affect the achievement of an organisationโs objectives.
โข When greed overtakes need, it spells trouble. Manifested as โbankruptcyโ in much of the developed world and โcorruptionโ closer to home, greed has clearly disrupted some major industrialised economies and enhanced the risks of doing business
โข In todayโs world, risks are not few. The reason companies so often fail to systematically manage their key risks is rooted in the way they define the risks they face. Risks are manageable and the answer to untapped business opportunities that lie dormant waiting for risk factors to turn favourable

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
ย
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

I joined the CQI around 1970 when it was
entitled the Institute of Engineering Inspection.
The reasons I have decided to sign up for CQP are
in keeping with the late Professor Ishikawa, who
said: โQuality begins and ends with education.โ I
firmly believe that. There has never been an end to
manโs creativity and we can always find new and
better ways of doing things. It is my opinion that
it is the responsibility of all professional people to
keep abreast of the latest developments in their
particular field otherwise they are simply not
being professional.
On a personal level, CQP will, first of all, give
me the satisfaction of knowing that I am worth lis-
tening to and that whatever I do is at, or near to,
the cutting edge. I also believe that we should be
able to learn from each other and this, in my opin-
ion, is the main value of having an institute creat-
ed for that purpose.
