ITS 835 Module One Essay Guidelines and Rubric
Topic: Chapter 7 – “Turning the Organizational Pyramid Upside Down Ten Years of Evolution in Enterprise Risk Management at United Grain
Growers”
Overview: Few companies stand out as successful pioneers in enterprise risk management (ERM), especially one that undertook the initiative
almost 15 years ago. One such ERM pioneer was United Grain Growers (UGG), a conservative 100-year-old Winnipeg, Canada– based grain
handler and distributor of farm supplies. Review the case study in Chapter Seven (7) of the textbook to understand the details of their ERM
journey.
Answer the following questions regarding this case study:
1. Why does a more participative management style (“tipping the pyramid over”) lead to greater responsiveness to customers' needs,
increased accountability, and more innovative solutions to challenges than a hierarchical “command and control” structure?
2. Under what circumstances might the hierarchical “command and control” structure produce superior results?
3. What factors do you believe led UGG/ AU to be pioneers in ERM? Was it the industry/ company/ history/ circumstances? Was it a
changed organizational “culture” or perhaps good management? Describe the leading factor(s) in your response.
Guidelines for Submission: Using APA 6th edition style standards, submit a Word document that is 2-4 pages in length (excluding title page,
references, and appendices) and include at least two credible scholarly references to support your findings. The UC Library is a good place to find
these sources. Be sure to cite and reference your work using the APA guides and essay template that are located in the courseroom.
Required elements:
Please ensure your paper complies APA 6th edition style guidelines. There is an essay template located under the Information link.

And these tools also include relatively some of the high levels of the subjective judgement(K, 2017). Some of the additional set of tools also addresses the variability, quality, and also the uncertainty in the design process, and these tools are more analytical and are also typically combined to these processes which are used to produce the products(S, 2016). Still there are some other tools that are also used to generate the alternate designs for the designers who are working for the web application design for their organization or for their companies.

Amazon Organization Background
According to the studies, Amazon is one of the multinational companies based in the USA. Its headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington. Amazon operates in the e-commerce business, digital streaming, and cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Recent news indicates that Amazon has had various organizational issues, especially on the leadership aspect (Ott, 2012).
Organization issues in Amazon
Insensitive management. Reports reveal that the employees with different personal hardships such as miscarriages, cancer and other personal problems were significantly faced with unfair judgements. Others were given limited time to recover from their issues, which created a lot of issues for the employees.
Unfair ranking system. The Amazon management holds annual organizational-level reviews to discuss and determine the ranking of the subordinates. The reviews start with a discussion concerning the lower-level employees in front of the senior managers. Consequently, the king of review system employees in the raking system is not correct. It leads to the discrimination of some employees while favoring others.
Lack of benefits. Benefits are essential in any company to boost the motivation of the workers. However, Amazon fails to provide its employees with benefits such as meals, personal wellness and other critical benefits that can motivate the employees. Hence, Amazon gives no priority to its workers. Instead, the new employees are required to repay a share of their signing bonus if one quits before the years’ time. Such acts are discriminative.
Why do such issues hinder Amazon organizational efficiency?
Organizational issues contribute to organization controversies. The organization issues in Amazon provides to workers turn over. Besides, an unfair ranking system contributes to a poor relationship between the management and the workers. Also, the lack of benefits lowers the morale of the workers, thus reducing organizational productivity (Robbins & Judge, 2012). Hence, for an organization to succeed ant attain its set objective organizational issues should be avoided.

COMPANY SELECTION (Amazon)

Amazon Organization Background
According to the studies, Amazon is one of the multinational companies based in the USA. Its headquarters are located in Seattle, Washington. Amazon operates in the e-commerce business, digital streaming, and cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Recent news indicates that Amazon has had various organizational issues, especially on the leadership aspect (Ott, 2012).
Organization issues in Amazon
Insensitive management. Reports reveal that the employees with different personal hardships such as miscarriages, cancer and other personal problems were significantly faced with unfair judgements. Others were given limited time to recover from their issues, which created a lot of issues for the employees.
Unfair ranking system. The Amazon management holds annual organizational-level reviews to discuss and determine the ranking of the subordinates. The reviews start with a discussion concerning the lower-level employees in front of the senior managers. Consequently, the king of review system employees in the raking system is not correct. It leads to the discrimination of some employees while favoring others.
Lack of benefits. Benefits are essential in any company to boost the motivation of the workers. However, Amazon fails to provide its employees with benefits such as meals, personal wellness and other critical benefits that can motivate the employees. Hence, Amazon gives no priority to its workers. Instead, the new employees are required to repay a share of their signing bonus if one quits before the years’ time. Such acts are discriminative.
Why do such issues hinder Amazon organizational efficiency?
Organizational issues contribute to organization controversies. The organization issues in Amazon provides to workers turn over. Besides, an unfair ranking system contributes to a poor relationship between the management and the workers. Also, the lack of benefits lowers the morale of the workers, thus reducing organizational productivity (Robbins & Judge, 2012). Hence, for an organization to succeed ant attain its set objective organizational issues should be avoided.

ERM Implementation ERM is essential for organizations.docxelbanglis
ERM Implementation
ERM is essential for organizations in managing risks and improve on opportunities related to the achievement of organizational objectives. Statoil and United Grain Growers have established an enterprise risks management that meets their company goals based on the challenges each of them is facing.
The primary difference between ERM in Statoil and United Grain Growers is that ERM will affect management at the latter. Additionally, ERM at United Grain Growers seeks to retrieve the company from financial constraints while at Statoil, ERM seeks to improve organizational performance. However, ERM at the two companies share some similarities. For instance, ERM at United Grain Growers seeks to identify and access principle risks. The same applies to Statoil which seeks to identify any potential risks during the exercise. Besides, the two companies have a strategic risk plan. A strategic plan is essential as it outlines the role of a manager, CEO and everyone involved in the steps of an ERM (Robert and Liebenberg, 2011). United Grain growers has a strategic plan to improve financial dividends while Statoil has a risk map and committee with outlined roles and responsibilities.
The Statoil ERM seems workable and productive meaning I can implement it is it were up to me. On the contrary, I will not implement the United Grain Growers ERM. In my opinion, the ERM lacks the potential to solve financial constraints that the company is experiencing. However, some parts of it are productive, but a merger comes in with other risks for the struggling company. For instance, a merger will lead to employee layoff which might put the company at a risk of losing some important skills (Chui, 2011). Additionally, the company assets might be miscalculated during financial evaluation leading to more losses.
Generally, the ERM at Statoil might be successful in future because it is based on company goals and values. On the contrary, UGG ERM might not succeed because there are many risks associated with its strategy for implementation.

According to Brustbauer, 2016 Enterprise risk management help the company prepare for the uncertainties and disasters that may occur all along. Every business must identify the threats likely to face the business and come up with a contingency plan. Different companies faces different threats and uncertainties and therefore while coming up with the risk management plan one must consider the uniqueness of the enterprise and the likely threats to occur. These differences make the companies and business have different hierarchy of risks that are likely to occur.

ERM Measures & Mini case studies:
The organization's ERM goal ought to be to quantify and express the normal result from accomplishing them. The result ought to be based, to the degree conceivable, on the normal helpful effect on the execution estimates that are utilized to run the organization. This kind of rule suggests, obviously, that the organization as of now has set up unmistakably verbalized and surely knew execution proportions of this sort. The types of risks that ERM to cover and the ERM measures that the organization should implement to monitor risks include in the following broad categories: Financial, Operational, Hazard, Strategic plans.
The key measures I will recommend that Akawini uses in the monitoring of both progress and performance is to follow in characterizing the risk types a given organization should cover in its ERM program and that organization supervisors need to take care of and oversee in an incorporated manner is that the risks matter most to the organization's strategic goals. Managers need an unmistakable, normal comprehension of what the organization implies by those risks and why they are vital to the company’s performance.
In setting the extent of their ERM program, organization leaders need to verify that the extent of risks and extent of processes are aligned and that they are probably going to enable the organization to achieve the ERM objectives they have officially set. Also, in deciding the administration procedures to be influenced, they should be sensible about the level of impact the ERM work can apply on the officeholder owners of these influenced procedures authoritative turf is ordinarily referred to as a main leading obstacle to compelling ERM. The pragmatic result is that the underlying scope is frequently less broad than the long-term desired scope.

The ERM implementation at Workers’ Compensation Fund and Zurich Insurance Group are similar in many ways. For example, both organizations have an established Chief Risk Officer (CRO) with distinct roles. The CRO position at Workers’ Compensation Fund was established in 2010, and the purpose of the office was to develop and monitor the organization’s ERM strategy, processes, and policies as directed by the CEO, the Risk Oversight Committee, and the Board (Fraser, Simkins, and Narvaez, 2014, p. 209-10). Zurich Insurance Group also has a CRO whose central role is to provide the CEO, the Board, and the Risk Committee with risk-related information (Fraser et al., 2014, p. 258-59). Besides having similar roles, the CROs of both organizations report to the same authorities.
Both organizations also have an independent risk audit. At the Workers’ Compensation Fund, auditing is external, and the CRO introduced it in 2011 as a "third-party review” (Fraser et al., 2014, p. 215). Similarly, Zurich Insurance Group consults external expertise on risk matters. For example, the company seeks external knowledge from the Natural Catastrophe Advisory Council (Fraser et al., 2014, p. 261). Zurich Insurance Group, however, has an internal audit function that forms the "third line of defense" in its risk governance approach (p. 256). Another aspect that is conspicuously similar between the two organizations is the role of the Board in ERM. Both companies have a risk committee made up of board members. Workers’ Compensation Fund, the board’s ERM functions are carried out through the Risk Oversight Committee. At Zurich Insurance Group, a Board-level Risk Committee exists, and it defines the Board's Role in ERM. Also, ERM is considered a part of all business operations, including strategic planning and budgeting.
The implementation of ERM depends on the size of an organization and the level of risks it faces. In implementing an ERM, I would follow the strategies used by these two organizations because they offer a clear path to achieving ERM. A step-by-step process used to implement ERM is depicted, and it is initiated and governed by not only the CRO but also the CEO and the Board. In the future, ERM implementation will get better. New risk assessment matrices will make risk identification more comfortable, and the role of CRO's will become easier when all members of the organization, including CEOs and the Board of Directors, assume active roles in ERM implementation.

The financing is coming from the United Arab Emirates, the materials are coming from Mexico and China, the engineering and technology are coming from Israel , and the labor will be hired locally within these countries by your management team from the United States. You invite all of the players to the headquarters in the United States for a big meeting to explain the project and get to know one another. The people seem to be staying with their own groups and not mingling.
What is the cultural phenomenon at play here (what is it called/ term)?
How do you explain the lack of intercultural communication and interaction?
What do you know about these cultures—specifically their economic, political, educational, and social systems—that could help you in getting them together?
What are some of the contrasting cultural values of these countries?
You are concerned about some of the language barriers as you start the meeting, particularly the fact that the United States is a low-context country, and some of the countries present are high-context countries. Furthermore, you only speak English, and you do not have an interpreter present.
How will this affect the presentation?
What are some of the issues you should be concerned about regarding verbal and nonverbal language for this group?
What strategy would you use to begin to have everyone develop a relationship with each other that will help ease future negotiations, development, and implementation?

ERM Implementation ERM is essential for organizations.docxelbanglis
ERM Implementation
ERM is essential for organizations in managing risks and improve on opportunities related to the achievement of organizational objectives. Statoil and United Grain Growers have established an enterprise risks management that meets their company goals based on the challenges each of them is facing.
The primary difference between ERM in Statoil and United Grain Growers is that ERM will affect management at the latter. Additionally, ERM at United Grain Growers seeks to retrieve the company from financial constraints while at Statoil, ERM seeks to improve organizational performance. However, ERM at the two companies share some similarities. For instance, ERM at United Grain Growers seeks to identify and access principle risks. The same applies to Statoil which seeks to identify any potential risks during the exercise. Besides, the two companies have a strategic risk plan. A strategic plan is essential as it outlines the role of a manager, CEO and everyone involved in the steps of an ERM (Robert and Liebenberg, 2011). United Grain growers has a strategic plan to improve financial dividends while Statoil has a risk map and committee with outlined roles and responsibilities.
The Statoil ERM seems workable and productive meaning I can implement it is it were up to me. On the contrary, I will not implement the United Grain Growers ERM. In my opinion, the ERM lacks the potential to solve financial constraints that the company is experiencing. However, some parts of it are productive, but a merger comes in with other risks for the struggling company. For instance, a merger will lead to employee layoff which might put the company at a risk of losing some important skills (Chui, 2011). Additionally, the company assets might be miscalculated during financial evaluation leading to more losses.
Generally, the ERM at Statoil might be successful in future because it is based on company goals and values. On the contrary, UGG ERM might not succeed because there are many risks associated with its strategy for implementation.

According to Brustbauer, 2016 Enterprise risk management help the company prepare for the uncertainties and disasters that may occur all along. Every business must identify the threats likely to face the business and come up with a contingency plan. Different companies faces different threats and uncertainties and therefore while coming up with the risk management plan one must consider the uniqueness of the enterprise and the likely threats to occur. These differences make the companies and business have different hierarchy of risks that are likely to occur.

ERM Measures & Mini case studies:
The organization's ERM goal ought to be to quantify and express the normal result from accomplishing them. The result ought to be based, to the degree conceivable, on the normal helpful effect on the execution estimates that are utilized to run the organization. This kind of rule suggests, obviously, that the organization as of now has set up unmistakably verbalized and surely knew execution proportions of this sort. The types of risks that ERM to cover and the ERM measures that the organization should implement to monitor risks include in the following broad categories: Financial, Operational, Hazard, Strategic plans.
The key measures I will recommend that Akawini uses in the monitoring of both progress and performance is to follow in characterizing the risk types a given organization should cover in its ERM program and that organization supervisors need to take care of and oversee in an incorporated manner is that the risks matter most to the organization's strategic goals. Managers need an unmistakable, normal comprehension of what the organization implies by those risks and why they are vital to the company’s performance.
In setting the extent of their ERM program, organization leaders need to verify that the extent of risks and extent of processes are aligned and that they are probably going to enable the organization to achieve the ERM objectives they have officially set. Also, in deciding the administration procedures to be influenced, they should be sensible about the level of impact the ERM work can apply on the officeholder owners of these influenced procedures authoritative turf is ordinarily referred to as a main leading obstacle to compelling ERM. The pragmatic result is that the underlying scope is frequently less broad than the long-term desired scope.

The ERM implementation at Workers’ Compensation Fund and Zurich Insurance Group are similar in many ways. For example, both organizations have an established Chief Risk Officer (CRO) with distinct roles. The CRO position at Workers’ Compensation Fund was established in 2010, and the purpose of the office was to develop and monitor the organization’s ERM strategy, processes, and policies as directed by the CEO, the Risk Oversight Committee, and the Board (Fraser, Simkins, and Narvaez, 2014, p. 209-10). Zurich Insurance Group also has a CRO whose central role is to provide the CEO, the Board, and the Risk Committee with risk-related information (Fraser et al., 2014, p. 258-59). Besides having similar roles, the CROs of both organizations report to the same authorities.
Both organizations also have an independent risk audit. At the Workers’ Compensation Fund, auditing is external, and the CRO introduced it in 2011 as a "third-party review” (Fraser et al., 2014, p. 215). Similarly, Zurich Insurance Group consults external expertise on risk matters. For example, the company seeks external knowledge from the Natural Catastrophe Advisory Council (Fraser et al., 2014, p. 261). Zurich Insurance Group, however, has an internal audit function that forms the "third line of defense" in its risk governance approach (p. 256). Another aspect that is conspicuously similar between the two organizations is the role of the Board in ERM. Both companies have a risk committee made up of board members. Workers’ Compensation Fund, the board’s ERM functions are carried out through the Risk Oversight Committee. At Zurich Insurance Group, a Board-level Risk Committee exists, and it defines the Board's Role in ERM. Also, ERM is considered a part of all business operations, including strategic planning and budgeting.
The implementation of ERM depends on the size of an organization and the level of risks it faces. In implementing an ERM, I would follow the strategies used by these two organizations because they offer a clear path to achieving ERM. A step-by-step process used to implement ERM is depicted, and it is initiated and governed by not only the CRO but also the CEO and the Board. In the future, ERM implementation will get better. New risk assessment matrices will make risk identification more comfortable, and the role of CRO's will become easier when all members of the organization, including CEOs and the Board of Directors, assume active roles in ERM implementation.

100 WORDS OR MORE
Consider your past experiences either as a student, early child care professional, or teacher. Describe a creative episode similar to the two boys who found a frog in the text (Creativity and the Arts with Young Children, p.309), when the teacher (maybe you) seized the opportunity (the teachable moment) to inspire the children to branch out using their imagination, creativity, and interests. Why do you think this was such a memorable moment?
WHAT WAS OBSERVED?
Two boys were exploring the outdoors and found a small frog. The teacher recognized their high interest and determined that this was an appropriate topic for a study. Their experience in nature provided the interest and stimulus for a long-term project on frogs. The teacher demonstrated her belief that this study could not only include informational learning but also be enriched by the use of the arts. She didn't know a lot about frogs, so she joined the children in looking for information about them. Stories provided the content for the drama about frogs, and the music selection encouraged listening and moving to the “frog music.” A group mural was created through the collaboration of several children, who created visual representations of the frog's environment. Another group of children investigated building a habitat for the frog in their classroom aquarium. All of the children were involved in active learning and used methods that matched their interests. At the conclusion of the study, the children shared their learning by making a giant book about frogs, creating a song about frogs, and demonstrating the development of the frog aquarium that emulated its outdoor environment. Finally, they returned the frog to its home, which led to their understanding that it needed to live in its natural habitat.

Article is attached
The overwhelming similarities between the articles are perception of identity through self-focus or self-identity through culture. Mulvaney tells us “truth is socially constructed through language and other symbol systems” (Mulvaney, 222). And as an example, it was just such self-focus that landed Galileo in jail by asserting that the universe was sun-centered as opposed to earth centered. The people of that time had socially constructed their own truths based on their perceptions of that time, although we now know that both were incorrect. It was from this perception of correctness that power was assumed and asserted by the majority, which in this case led to Galileo’s arrest (Mulvaney 2004).
Jandt touches on an interesting fact regarding existentialism, the idea of the “other” and the idea that both the observer and the observed are changed in the process. He states, “that the observer is not independent of the observed; the observed is in some sense “created” or changed or both by the act of observation” (Jandt, 212). It is from this dynamic that Jandt speaks of that we can see the formation of societal roles, i.e. the roles of those in positions of power and those in a subservient roles.
The interesting culmination of the information from all three articles is that the process is not a stagnant one, but rather one that can, and often times does change. Through introspective analysis, asking ourselves the question “Who am I?” we can embrace our cultural differences and through the acceptance of our individual qualities can take back some of the power that was perhaps lost (Jandt, 210). For example, take the labels “Feminist” and “Gay” along with “queer” and “Chicano,” which were certainly negative when created, have been transformed into positive labels embraced by those within each perspective community (Jandt 2004).

100 word response to the followingBoth perspectives that we rea.docxvrickens
100 word response to the following:
Both perspectives that we read referenced Hofstede’s work. Merrit and Helmreich focused closely on Hofstede’s principles of individualism and power distance. They studied how American flight crews differed in these areas from Asian flight crews. The American flight crews proved to have much more individualism than the Asian, although power distance perceptions were mixed between pilots and flight attendants, with the flight attendants perceiving more power distance than the pilots (in Jandt, 2004). Aldridge also focused on individualism and power distance, with regards to the American culture. It is Aldridge’s thesis that it is the idea of the “natural rights of man” that underpins American culture (in Jandt, 2004, p.94). The natural rights of man are a value that is espoused by a culture with high individuality and low power distance. If man has natural rights, then he is an independent being, and in order to value all men, we must have a lower perception of the distance between those of high status and those with lower status.
I enjoyed both perspectives. I felt that the aviation study was very strong, as they were careful to make sure that they accounted for cultural differences in their measurements. I agree with the authors that although they confirmed some sociological theories and demonstrated that flight crews tend to follow their cultural norms, the study is likely skewed. In order to understand how different flight crews behave from standard Asian social norms, the surveys would have to be done from an Asian perspective and even then, there is not just one Asian culture, so that should be taken into account. We likely miss many of the subtle differences between Asian flight crews and their home culture, by not having a sensitive test to that culture.
My main complaint about Aldridge’s perspective is a lack of strong comparison to other cultures. I felt that the argument that American culture is strong based on our belief in natural human rights would have been better served by showing more comparison to other cultures that also espouse this value and/or to cultures that clearly do not. The comparison to Nazi culture was a start, but one that gets kind of old after a while, and is not a culture that is as current as I would prefer in a comparison.

100 word response to the followingThe point that Penetito is tr.docxvrickens
100 word response to the following:
The point that Penetito is trying to make is that it is important for indigenous cultures to survive. He uses the case of the education of the Maori in New Zealand as an example to exhibit the declining influence of the culture because of the influence of the more dominant British culture. Penetito strengthens his argument by referencing problems that come with colonization and the negative on natives, most notably, the educational system. By attacking this one issue and using facts about the culture to enrich the discussion helps to focus his message that cultures being dominated is a bad thing. The Maori educational system has been moulded to fit the mainstream framework rather than a Maori one (Jandt, 2004, p. 173) and this creates many of the problems and contributes to the extinction of culture. He could use other examples of how colonizing countries leads to the destruction of less important areas of indigiounous cultures such as dress, language, or food in order to strengthen his arguments about the educational systems. The lack of attention in the educational field is having lasting effects on Maoris living in New Zealand and any more information he could use to support this would be important to know. Also examples of educational systems in other colonized countries, to compare and contrast them to New Zealand's would also help to influence readers. He references a report done by the Ministry of Maori Development which states that, "disparities between Maori and non-Maori in a variety of economic sectors such as employment and income" (Jandt, 2004, p. 181). The Maori are just an example of one culture that is fighting for survival out of many. The problem is that through colonization, diversity dwindles. Penetito's writing is valid for all endangered languages because all cultures can use it as a template and useful knowledge for preserving their cultures before they are completely gone.

I would like to ask a provocative question, or two.
Given that all of the indigenous languages in the USA are on the brink of extinction, should there be federal funding to protect these languages and these cultures?
Along the same lines, what do you think of English-only initiatives? Do these aid or hurt American culture?

Must use Chicago style citing and the textbook: Jandt, Fred E. (editor) Intercultural Communication: A Global Reader. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. 2004. Part I Cultural Values
Culture has many different meanings anywhere from historical perspectives to behavioral perspectives to different traditions that have been passed down from generations to generations.
Levi Strauss was interested in structuralism which he defined as “the search for unusual harmonies” (pg 1 Jandt). “There are many more human cultures than human races”, human cultures are counted by the thousands and human races are divided up by units.
The collaboration between cultures is trying to compare the old world with the new world. “No society is intrinsically cumulative. Cumulative history is the way of life of cultures and how they get a long together. All cultural contributions are divided into two groups; isolated acquisitions or features, the features are important but at the same time they are limited. The second group is systemized contributions which is how each society has chosen to express human aspirations. According to Strauss the true contribution of a culture is its difference from others.
Geert Hostede looks at business cultures and states that culture may be divided into four categories symbols, heroes, rituals and values. “Understanding people means understanding their background from which their present and future behavior can be predicted”. There are also four national cultural differences: 1.power distance-the population from equal to extremely unequal 2. Individualism -people have learned to act as individuals rather than in a group 3.masculinity- assertiveness or masculine values prevail over the feminine ones 4.uncertainty avoidance- people in a country prefer structured over unstructured situations.

Must use Chicago style citing and the textbook: Jandt, Fred E. (editor) Intercultural Communication: A Global Reader. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. 2004 Part I Cultural Values
Our culture is something that has been ingrained in us from an early age, and is largely unconscious. Levi-Strauss says that while certain biological traits were selected for us in the beginning of evolution, as soon as culture came into being, those biological traits were influenced by the dynamics of culture (Jandt, p. 6). Essentially, we are not able to separate ourselves from culture, and to do so would be to ruin what is wonderful and unique about each culture. According to Hofstede, all cultures have their processes, and their values. While things like symbols and rituals in a culture vary greatly, he says; “Values represent the deepest level of culture. (Jandt, p. 9)”
Because culture is deeply ingrained in us, all of the variants that Levi-Strauss and Hofstede discussed must be taken in account when dealing wit.

Between the Baroque and Rococo era, according to Getlein in Living with Art 2010, Rococo is a development and extension of the baroque style. Rococo is not only a play on the word baroque, but also French for rocks and shells. Rococo is known for its ornate style and several points of contrast. Baroque on the other hand was an art of cathedrals and palaces (Getlein p. 397). The Mirror Room of the Amailienburg in Nymphenburg is a great example of the Rococo style of art with its gentle pastels, overall intimacy, multiple mirrors and its illusion of the sky and with that baroque is large in scale and rococo is lighter. According to Getlein p. 398, Rococo architecture first originated in France but was soon exported, some examples of this type of art are found in Germany. Hall of mirrors on page 392 by Charles Le Brun is an example of baroque art, it is a more intense piece of work that is more vibrant and energetic vice the lighter decoration s used in The Mirror Room.

The Renaissance covered the period from 1400 to 1600, which brought numerous changes that included new techniques in art, the way art was viewed, and how people viewed themselves. The term renaissance means "rebirth" and it refers to the renewal of interest in Roman and Greek cultures. During the period scholars who called themselves humanists believed in the pursuit of knowledge and striving to reach their full creative and intellectual potential. This new way of thinking had many impacts for art during this period. Artists became interested in observing the natural world and studied new techniques on how to accurately depict it. Various techniques were developed such as the effect of light known as chiaroscuro; noting that distant objects appeared smaller than nearer ones they developed linear perspective; seeing how detail and colored blurred with distance, they developed atmospheric perspective. (Getlein page 361) The nude also reappeared in art, for the body was one of God's most noble creations; an example of this can be seen in figure 16.8 the statue of David, by the artist Michelangelo. (Getlein page 368) The primary difference between the Renaissance and the prior period of time was that artists were no longer viewed craftsmen, they were now recognized as intellectuals. (Getlein page 362)
The Northern Renaissance developed more gradually than in Italy. Northern artists did not live among the ruins of Rome nor did they share the Italians’ sense of a personal link to the creators of the Classical past; thus affecting the focus and characteristics between the two cultures. (Getlein page 374) Renaissance artists in northern Europe focused more on small details of the visible world, such as decoration or the outer appearanc.

Unlike the Egyptian culture that created statues of themselves as gods and pharaohs. Muslims did not worship false idols or statues so no pictures or statues or gods are present in their mosques. According to Geitlein (2010), “The Qur’an contains a stern warning against the worship of idols, and in time this led to a doctrine forbidding images of animate beings in religious contexts” (p. 410). Instead the Muslims of the Islam culture used geometry and plants to design buildings, like the Egyptian pyramids, Muslims built beautiful mosques with grand designs. Islam became a world religion, like Christians, they needed a place of worship and prayer. They also used fine textiles, sun dried brick, and ceramics to create their designs. An example would be the popular Cordoba mosque of Spain. A lot of mosques use the arch and dome technique like that of the Romans and Byzantine architecture. Arabic script also became popular and appeared inside the mosque temples. Islam used calligraphy as art and to illustrate writing. Egyptians were also big on scripting but theirs was called hieroglyphics, which not only had letters, but pictures were a big part of their writing system as well. The Egyptians didn’t technically worship false idols at all times, at some times they had statues created of themselves but there wasn’t really a religion in Egypt until the one god religion began there. Egypt gave you a visual of the life and world of Egypt, Islam leaves it more up to the imagination with no pictures of what any of the past history looked like.

Realism was a mid to late 19th century movement in which artist should represent the world at it is regardless of artistic and social understandings. Realist were seeking to free art from social regulation and depicting how society shapes the lives of people (Little, page 80).
In his Fur Traders Descending the Missouri, American-born George Caleb Bingham a self taught artist and the first major painter to live and work west of the Mississippi River illustrates the realism of life for a French trapper and his son on the Missouri River hunting from a dugout canoe. The painting is simple to understand, it represents the calmness of a time to me when life was simple.
Abstract Expressionism was a movement that got its start following World War TWO. Developed in New York and often referred to as the New York School or Action Painting it is characterized to depict universal emotions. Additionally this was the first American movement to gain international recognition (Little, page 122).

Identified the organization for your report
Interviewed at least one key mid-level or senior-level manager
Created a market position analysis
Conducted an external environmental scan in preparation of your final report and presentation
In this assignment, you will generate a preliminary strategy audit in preparation for your final course project.
Prepare a report that includes the following:
In preparation for your course project, prepare the preliminary strategy audit using the tools and framework you have focused on so far including the following:
Analysis of the company value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage
External environmental scan/five forces analysis
Identify the most important (5–7) strategic issues facing the organization or business unit.
You may modify the strategic issues in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.
Keep in mind that it is important to look at the strategic issue(s) from more than just one perspective in the business unit or company—speak to or research the issue from more than one angle to offer a 360-degree approach that does not cause more problems or issues.
Strategic issues arise from a mismatch between internal capabilities and external trends such that important opportunities are not being pursued or significant external threats are not being addressed under the current strategy.
Include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic alignment and operating performance.
You may modify these recommendations in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.
Keep in mind that recommendations can include, but are not limited to, tactics in marketing, branding, alliances, mergers and acquisitions, integration, product development, diversification or divestiture, and globalization. If you recommend your company to go global, you must include a supply chain analysis and an analysis of your firm’s global capabilities.

The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement officers explaining that they are discouraged from making arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They claim that they have been either not making arrests in domestic violence situations or arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return after removal. These occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law enforcement.
One of your jobs in working as a victim witness assistant is to help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s office has decided that you should present each of these topics for the next training session:
Topic 1: Domestic violence:
Your goal is to educate law enforcement to use best practices in the investigation of domestic abuse cases. Include the following topics:
How to approach a domestic violence situation when responding to an emergency call
when the parties should be separated
how to interview parties
what information needs to be in the report and why
how best to help a victim
what laws protect victims, including the use of protection orders
why victims return to abusers
length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers
Arrests
the legal standard needed to make an arrest in a domestic violence case
What evidence should be collected at the arrest?
Are dual arrests effective law enforcement?
how to assist domestic violence victims
reluctant victims
help for victims
Topic 2: Child Abuse:
Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following topics:
signs of child abuse and categories (physical, sexual, emotional)
difference between abuse and neglect
legal description of neglect
use of guardian
ad litems
the legal standards that must be met in removal from the home
termination of parental rights
requirements of Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)
role of court-appointed special advocates (CASA) in child abuse and neglect cases
role of social services in abuse and neglect cases

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Topic: Chapter 7 – “Turning the Organizational Pyramid
Upside Down Ten Years of Evolution in Enterprise Risk
Management at United Grain
Growers”
Overview: Few companies stand out as successful pioneers in
enterprise risk management (ERM), especially one that
undertook the initiative
almost 15 years ago. One such ERM pioneer was United Grain
Growers (UGG), a conservative 100-year-old Winnipeg,
Canada– based grain
handler and distributor of farm supplies. Review the case study
in Chapter Seven (7) of the textbook to understand the details of
their ERM
journey.
Answer the following questions regarding this case study:
1. Why does a more participative management style (“tipping
the pyramid over”) lead to greater responsiveness to customers'
needs,
increased accountability, and more innovative solutions to
challenges than a hierarchical “command and control”
structure?
2. Under what circumstances might the hierarchical “command
and control” structure produce superior results?
3. What factors do you believe led UGG/ AU to be pioneers in
ERM? Was it the industry/ company/ history/ circumstances?
2. Was it a
changed organizational “culture” or perhaps good management?
Describe the leading factor(s) in your response.

Additional Praise for
Implementing Enterprise Risk Management
6. “Educators the world over seeking to make the management of
risk an integral part
of management degrees have had great difficulties in providing
their students with
a definitive ERM text for their course. The Standards and
associated Handbooks
helped, but until the arrival of Implementing Enterprise Risk
Management: Case Stud-
ies and Best Practices, there has been no text to enlighten
students on the application
of an effective program to manage risk across an enterprise so
that objectives are
maximized and threats minimized. Fraser, Simkins, and Narvaez
have combined
with a group of contributors that represent the cream of risk
practitioners, to pro-
vide the reader with a clear and concise journey through the
management of risk
within a wide range of organizations and industries. The
knowledge, skills, and
experience in the management of risk contained within the
covers of this book are
second to none. It will provide a much needed resource to
students and practition-
ers for many years to come and should become a well-used
reference on the desk
of every manager of risk.”
—Kevin W. Knight AM, chairman, ISO/TC 262—Risk
Management
“The authors—Fraser, Simkins, and Narvaez—have done an
invaluable service to
advance the science of enterprise risk management by collecting
an extensive num-
ber of wonderful case studies that describe innovative risk
7. management practices
in a diverse set of companies around the world. This book
should be an extremely
valuable source of knowledge for anyone interested in the
emerging and evolving
field of risk management.”
—Robert S. Kaplan, senior fellow, Marvin Bower Professor of
Leadership
Development, emeritus, Harvard University
“Lessons learned from case studies and best practices represent
an efficient way
to gain practical insights on the implementation of ERM.
Implementing Enterprise
Risk Management provides such insights from a robust
collection of ERM pro-
grams across public companies and private organizations. I
commend the editors
and contributors for making a significant contribution to ERM
by sharing their
experiences.”
—James Lam, president, James Lam & Associates; director and
Risk Oversight
Committee chairman, E∗ TRADE Financial Corporation;
author, Enterprise Risk Management—From Incentives to
Controls
“For those who still think that enterprise risk management is
just a fad, the varied
examples of practical value-generating uses contained in this
book should dispel
any doubt that the discipline is here to stay! The broad
collection of practices is
8. insightful for students, academics, and executives, as well as
seasoned risk man-
agement professionals.”
—Carol Fox, ARM, director of Strategic and Enterprise Risk
Practice, RIMS
“Managing risk across the enterprise is the new frontier of
business management.
Doing so effectively, in my view, will be the single most
important differentiating
factor for many enterprises in the twenty-first century.
Implementing Enterprise Risk
Management: Case Studies and Best Practices is an innovative
and important addition
to the literature and contains a wealth of insight in this critical
area. This book’s
integration of theory with hands-on, real-world lessons in
managing enterprise
risk provides an opportunity for its readers to gain insight and
understanding that
could otherwise be acquired only through many years of hard-
earned experience.

industries through excel-
lent case studies, providing a real-world base for its
recommendations and an
important reminder that ERM is valuable in many industries. I
highly recommend
this text.”

of Management;
author of Winning with Risk Management
“The body of knowledge in Implementing Enterprise Risk
Management continues to
develop as business educators and leaders confront a complex
and rapidly chang-
ing environment. This book provides a valuable resource for
academics and prac-
titioners in this dynamic area.”
—Mark L. Frigo, director, Strategic Risk Management Lab,
Kellstadt Graduate School of Business, DePaul University
“The management of enterprise risk is one of the most vexatious
problems con-
fronting boards and executives worldwide. This is why this
latest book by Fraser,
Simkins, and Narvaez is a much needed and highly refreshing
approach to the sub-
ject. The editors have managed to assemble an impressive list of
contributors who,
through a series of fascinating real-life case studies, adroitly
11. help educate readers
to better understand and deal with the myriad of risks that can
assault, seriously
maim, and/or kill an organization. This is a ‘how to’ book
written with the ‘risk
management problem solver’ in mind. It provides the link that
has been missing
for effectively teaching ERM at the university and executive
education levels and
it is an exceptional achievement by true risk management
advocates.”
—Dr. Chris Bart, FCPA, founder and lead faculty,
The Directors College of Canada
“The Institute of Risk Management welcomes the publication of
this highly practi-
cal text which should be of great interest to our students and
members around the
world. Implementing Enterprise Risk Management brings
together a fine collection of
detailed case studies from organizations of varying sizes and
working in differ-
ent sectors, all seeking to enhance their business performance
by managing their
12. risks more effectively, from the boardroom to the shop floor.
This book makes a
valuable contribution to the body of knowledge of what works
that will benefit the
development of the risk profession.”

Foreword
E
nterprise Risk Management is an evolving discipline focused on
a com-
plex and still imperfectly-understood subject. In such a
situation, science is
advanced best by collecting data from multiple, independent
sites. A rich
set of observations educates the field’s scholars and
practitioners and provides the
foundation for them to develop descriptive and normative
theories as well as cod-
ified best practices about the subject.
The authors—Fraser, Simkins, and Narvaez—have done an
invaluable service
to advance the science of enterprise risk management by
collecting an extensive
28. number of wonderful case studies that describe innovative risk
management prac-
tices in a diverse set of companies around the world. This book
should be an
extremely valuable source of knowledge for anyone interested
in the emerging
and evolving field of risk management. We should be grateful to
the editors and
to each chapter author for expanding the body of knowledge for
risk management
professionals and academics.

Businesses, business schools, regulators, and the public are now
30. scrambling to
catch up with the emerging field of enterprise risk management.
—Robert Kaplan (quote from Foreword in Fraser and Simkins,
2010)
Most executives with MBA degrees were not taught ERM. In
fact, there are only
a few universities that teach ERM. So some business school
graduates are strong
in finance, marketing, and management theory, but they are
limited in terms of
critical thinking, business acumen, and risk analysis skills.
—Paul Walker1
THE EVOLUTION OF ENTERPRISE
RISK MANAGEMENT
Over the past two decades enterprise risk management (ERM)
has evolved
from concepts and visions of how risks should be addressed to a
method-
ology that is becoming entrenched in modern management and
is now
increasingly expected by those in oversight roles (e.g.,
31. governing bodies and
regulators). As Felix Kloman describes in his chapter “A Brief
History of Risk Man-
agement,” published in Fraser and Simkins (2010), many of the
concepts go back
a very long time and many of the so-called newly discovered
techniques can be

2 Implementing Enterprise Risk Management
referenced to the earlier writings and practices described by
Kloman. However,
it is only from around the mid-1990s that the concept of giving
a name to manag-
ing risks in a holistic way across the many operating silos of an
enterprise started
to take hold. In the 1990s, terms such as integrated risk
management and enterprise-
32. wide risk management were also used. Many thought leaders,
for example, those
who created ISO 31000,2 believe that the term risk management
is all that is needed
to describe good risk management; however, many others
believe that the latter
term is often used to describe risk management at the lower
levels of the organiza-
tion and does not necessarily capture the concepts of enterprise-
level approaches
to risk. As a result, the term ERM is used throughout this book.
As ERM continues to evolve there is still much discussion and
confusion over
exactly what it is and how it should be achieved. It is important
to realize that
it is still evolving and may take many more years before it is
fully codified and
practiced in a consistent way. In fact, there is a grave danger
now of believing
that there is only one way of doing ERM. This is probably a
mistake by regula-
tors who have too eagerly seized some of these concepts and are
trying to impose
them when the methods are not fully understood, and in some
33. cases the require-
ments are unlikely to produce the desired results. As Fraser and
Simkins (2010)
noted in their first book on ERM: “While regulatory interest can
force ERM into
companies, if not done well, it can become another box-ticking
exercise that adds
little value.”3
The leading and most commonly agreed4 guideline to holistic
risk manage-
ment is ISO 31000. However, it should be mentioned that in the
United States
the COSO 2004 Enterprise Risk Management–Integrated
Framework has been the
dominant framework used to date. Many organizations are
currently adopting
one or the other of these frameworks and then customizing them
to their own
context.
WHY THE NEED FOR A BOOK WITH ERM
CASE STUDIES?
Following the success of the earlier Enterprise Risk
Management: Today’s Leading
34. Research and Best Practices for Tomorrow’s Executives by
Fraser and Simkins (2010),
we found through our own teaching experiences, and by talking
to others, that
there was an urgent need for a university-level textbook of ERM
case studies to
help educate executives, risk practitioners, academics, and
students alike about
the evolving methodology. As a result, Fraser and Simkins,
together with Kristina
Narvaez, approached many of the leading ERM specialists to
write case studies for
this book.
Surveys have also shown that there is a dire need for more case
studies on ERM
(see Fraser, Schoening-Thiessen, and Simkins 2008).
Additionally, surveys of risk
executives report that business risk is increasing due to new
technologies, faster
rate of change, increases in regulatory risk, and more (PWC
2014). As Paul Walker
of St. John’s University points out in the opening quote of the
2014 American Pro-
ductivity & Quality Center (APQC) report on ERM, “Most
35. executives with MBA
degrees were not taught ERM. In fact, there are only a few
universities that teach
ERM. So some business school graduates are strong in finance,
marketing, and

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT CASE STUDIES 3
management theory, but they are limited in terms of critical
thinking, business acu-
men, and risk analysis skills.” Learning Centered Teaching
(LCT), as discussed in
Chapter 2, is an ideal way to achieve this. Using LCT and the
case study approach,
students actively participate in the learning process through
constructive reflective
reasoning, critical thinking and analysis, and discussion of key
issues. This is the
first book to provide such a broad coverage of case studies on
ERM.
36. The case studies that follow are from some of the leading
academics and prac-
titioners of enterprise risk management. While many of the
cases are about real-life
situations, there are also those that, while based on real-life
experiences, have had
names changed to maintain confidentiality or are composites of
several situations.
We are deeply indebted to the authors and to the organizations
that agreed so
kindly to share their stories to help benefit future generations of
ERM practition-
ers. In addition, we have added several chapters where we feel
the fundamentals
of these specialized techniques (e.g., VaR) deserve to be
understood by ERM stu-
dents and practitioners. Each case study provides opportunities
for executives, risk
practitioners, and students to explore what went well, what
could have been done
differently, and what lessons are to be learned.
Teachers of ERM will find a wealth of material to use in
demonstrating ERM
37. principles to students. These can be used for term papers or
class discussions, and
the approaches can be contrasted to emphasize different
contexts that may require
customized approaches. This book introduces the reader to a
wide range of con-
cepts and techniques for managing risks in a holistic way, by
correctly identifying
risks and prioritizing the appropriate responses. It offers a
broad overview of the
various types of ERM techniques, the role of the board of
directors, risk tolerances,
profiles, workshops, and allocation of resources, while focusing
on the principles
that determine business success.
Practitioners interested in implementing ERM, enhancing their
knowledge on
the subject, or wishing to mature their ERM program, will find
this book an abso-
lute must resource to have. Case studies are one of the best
ways to learn more on
this topic.
This book is a companion to Enterprise Risk Management:
38. Today’s Leading
Research and Best Practices for Tomorrow’s Executives (Fraser
and Simkins 2010).
Together, these two books can create a curriculum of study for
business students
and risk practitioners who desire to have a better understanding
of the world of
enterprise risk management and where it is heading in the
future. Boards and
senior leadership teams in progressive organizations are now
engaging in building
ERM into their scenario-planning and decision-making
processes. These forward-
looking organizations are also integrating ERM into the
business-planning pro-
cess with resource allocation and investment decisions. At the
business unit
level, ERM is being used to measure the performance of risk-
taking activities of
employees.
As these case studies demonstrate, ERM is a continuous
improvement process
and takes time to evolve. As can be gleaned from these case
studies, most firms that
39. have taken the ERM journey started with a basic ERM language,
risk identification,
and risk-assessment process and then moved down the road to
broaden their pro-
grams to include risk treatments, monitoring, and reporting
processes. The ulti-
mate goal of ERM is to have it embedded into the risk culture of
the organization
and drive the decision-making process to make more sound
business decisions.

4 Implementing Enterprise Risk Management
SUMMARY OF THE BOOK CHAPTERS
As mentioned earlier, the purpose of this book is to provide
case studies on ERM
in order to educate executives, risk practitioners, academics,
and students alike
about this evolving methodology. To achieve this goal, the book
is organized into
40. the following sections:
Part I: Overview and Insights for Teaching ERM
Part II: ERM Implementation at Leading Organizations
Part III: Linking ERM to Strategy and Strategic Risk
Management
Part IV: Specialized Aspects of Risk Management
Part V: Mini-Cases on ERM and Risk
Part VI: Other Case Studies
Brief descriptions of the contributors and the chapters are
provided next.
PART I: OVERVIEW AND INSIGHTS FOR
TEACHING ERM
The first two chapters provide an overview of ERM and
guidance on ERM educa-
tion. As we have pointed out, education on ERM is crucial and
more universities
need to offer courses in this area. Our conversations with many
ERM educators
and consultants highlight how extremely challenging it is to
achieve excellence in
ERM education.
41. Chapter 2, “An Innovative Method to Teaching Enterprise Risk
Manage-
ment: A Learner-Centered Teaching Approach,” offers insights
and suggestions
on teaching ERM. This chapter covers the concept of flipping
the classroom with
learner-centered teaching (LCT), distinguishes it from
traditional lectures, and
describes how it can be used in teaching ERM. The LCT
approach emphasizes
active student participation and collaboration on in-class
activities such as case
studies versus the traditional lecture approach. This chapter
provides several
examples as to how LCT can be applied in teaching ERM,
utilizing Fraser and
Simkins’ (2010) book. David R. Lange and Betty J. Simkins,
both experienced ERM
educators, team together to write this chapter. David Lange,
DBA, is an Auburn
University Montgomery (AUM) Distinguished Research and
Teaching Professor of
Finance. He has received many prestigious awards for both
research and teaching
from the University and from several academic associations. He
42. has taught many
courses in the area of risk management and has consulted in a
significant num-
ber of individual and class insurance–related cases in both state
and federal court.
Betty Simkins, PhD, the Williams Companies Chair of Business
and Professor of
Finance at Oklahoma State University, is coeditor of this book.
PART II: ERM IMPLEMENTATION AT
LEADING ORGANIZATIONS
Part II is a collection of ERM case studies that give examples of
how ERM was
developed and applied in major organizations around the world.
Note that there
is no perfect ERM case study and the objective is for readers to
assess what they
believe was successful or not so successful about these ERM
programs.

43. ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT CASE STUDIES 5
The first case study in this book describes ERM at Mars, Inc.
Larry Warner, who
is the former corporate risk manager at Mars, Inc. and now is
president of Warner
Risk Group, describes the ERM program at the company in
Chapter 3. Mars is
a global food company and one of the largest privately held
corporations in the
United States. It has more than 72,000 associates and annual net
sales in excess
of $33 billion across six business segments—Petcare,
Chocolate, Wrigley, Food,
Drinks, and Symbioscience. Its brands include Pedigree, Royal
Canin, M&M’s,
Snickers, Extra, Skittles, Uncle Ben’s, and Flavia. With such
complex business oper-
ations, Mars recognized the importance of providing its
managers with a tool to
knowledgably and comfortably take risk in order to achieve its
long-term goals.
Mars business units use its award-winning process to test their
annual operating
plan and thereby increase the probability of achieving these
44. objectives.
The case study in Chapter 4 entitled “Value and Risk: ERM in
Statoil” was writ-
ten by Alf Alviniussen, who is the former Group Treasurer and
Senior Vice Pres-
ident of Norsk Hydro ASA, Oslo, Norway, and Håkan
Jankensgård who holds
a PhD in risk management from Lund University, Sweden.
Håkan is also a for-
mer risk manager of Norsk Hydro. In this case study, the
authors discuss ERM at
Statoil, one of the top oil and gas companies in the world,
located in Norway. In
Statoil, understanding and managing risk is today considered a
core value of the
company, which is written into the corporate directives and
widely communicated
to employees. ERM is thoroughly embedded in the
organization’s work processes,
and its risk committee has managed the transition from a “silo”-
mentality to pro-
moting Statoil’s best interests in areas where risk needs to be
considered.
45. Chapter 5, called “ERM in Practice at University of California
Health Systems,”
is written by their former Chief Risk Officer (CRO), Grace
Crickette, who is now
the Senior Vice President and Chief Risk and Compliance
Officer of AAA Northern
California, Nevada, and Utah. The University of California’s
(UC) Health System
is comprised of numerous clinical operations, including five
medical centers that
support the clinical teaching programs for the university’s
medical and health sci-
ence school and handle more than three million patient visits
each year. ERM plays
an important role at the UC Health System and assists the
organization in assess-
ing and responding to all risks (operational, clinical, business,
accreditation, and
regulatory) that affect the achievement of the strategic and
financial objectives of
the UC Health System.
The descriptive case study in Chapter 6, written by Dr. Mark
Frigo from
DePaul University and Hans Læssøe, the Strategic Risk
46. Manager of the LEGO
Group, provides a great example of integrating risk management
in strategy devel-
opment and strategy execution at the LEGO Group, which is
based on an initiative
started in late 2006 and led by co-author Hans Læssøe. The
LEGO methodology is
also part of the continuing work of the Strategic Risk
Management Lab at DePaul
University, which is identifying and developing leading
practices in integrating
risk management with strategy development and execution.
United Grain Growers (UGG), a conservative 100-year-old
Winnipeg, Canada-
based grain handler and distributor of farm supplies, was an
ERM pioneer. Chap-
ter 7 called “Turning the Organizational Pyramid Upside Down:
Ten Years of Evo-
lution in Enterprise Risk Management at United Grain Growers”
analyzes the ERM
program at United Grain Growers 15 years later. When UGG
announced that it
had implemented a new integrated risk-financing program in
1999, it received
47. a great deal of attention in the financial press. CFO magazine
hailed the UGG
www.it-ebooks.info
http://www.it-ebooks.info/
6 Implementing Enterprise Risk Management
program as “the deal of the decade.” The Economist
characterized it as a “revo-
lutionary advance in corporate finance,” and Harvard University
created a UGG
case study. While most outside attention focused on the direct
financial benefits
of implementing the program (protection of cash flow, the
reduced risk-capital
required, and a 20 percent increase in stock price), scant
attention was given to the
less tangible and therefore less measurable issues of
governance, leadership, and
corporate culture—the conditions that enabled such innovation.
It was a combi-
nation of a collaborative leadership open to new ideas, a culture
48. of controlled risk
taking, and active risk oversight by the board that produced a
strategic approach
to UGG’s risk management process. This chapter is written by
John Bugalla, who
is the principal of ermINSIGHTS.
John Hargreaves has written Chapter 8 titled “Housing
Association Case
Study of ERM in a Changing Marketplace.” He has a
mathematics degree from
Cambridge University and six years strategy consultancy
experience at KPMG.
This case study features four real-life charitable housing
associations in England
and Wales, each with a different strategy and risk environment.
Simple yet prac-
tical tools to assist in risk identification and prioritization are
also presented. This
case study has two main aims. The first is to help develop an
understanding of
the importance of ERM in a charitable context, showing that
modern charities are
often very active organizations that face significant risks.
Second, the case aims to
49. illustrate the need for a close relationship between risk
assessment and strategy
development, particularly in sectors where objectives are
defined in social as well
as economic terms. Each of the four cases has a different
perspective and challenges
the student or practitioner to identify and assess the risk and
develop possible risk
treatments for each.
Chapter 9, “Lessons from the Academy: ERM Implementation in
the Univer-
sity Setting,” was written by Anne E. Lundquist. She is
pursuing a PhD in the
Educational Leadership program at Western Michigan
University with a concen-
tration in Higher Education Administration. This chapter
explores the unique
aspects of the University of Washington’s (UW) risk
environment, including how
leadership, goal-setting, planning, and decision-making differ
from the for-profit
sector. The lack of risk management regulatory requirements,
combined with cul-
tural and environmental differences, helps explain why there are
50. a limited number
of fully evolved ERM programs at colleges and universities.
The second half of the
chapter explores the decision to adopt and implement ERM at
UW, including a
description of early decisions, a timeline of how the program
evolved, a discus-
sion of the ERM framework, and examples of some of the tools
used in the risk
management process. It traces the evolution of the UW program
as well as demon-
strates decisions that administrators made to tailor ERM to fit
the decentralized
culture of a university.
The case study in Chapter 10, “Developing Accountability in
Risk Manage-
ment: The British Columbia Lottery Corporation Case Study,”
demonstrates how
ERM was successfully implemented in a Canadian public sector
organization over
a 10-year period. Jacquetta Goy, author of this chapter, was the
Senior Manager,
Risk Advisory Services at British Columbia Lottery Corporation
and was respon-
51. sible for establishing and developing the ERM program.
Currently, Jacquetta is
the Director of Risk Management at Thompson Rivers
University, Canada. This
case study focuses on initiation, early development, and
sustainment of the ERM

ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT CASE STUDIES 7
program, highlighting some of the barriers and enablers that
affected implemen-
tation. This case study includes a focus on developing risk
profiles; the role of
risk managers, champions, and committees; and the
development of effective risk
evaluation tools. The approach to ERM has evolved from
informal conversations
supported by an external assessment, through a period of high-
level corporate
focus supported by a dedicated group of champions using voting
52. technology to
an embedded approach, where risk assessment is incorporated
into both opera-
tional practice and planning.
Chapter 11, “Starting from Scratch: The Evolution of ERM at
the Workers Com-
pensation Fund,” describes the evolution of a formal ERM
program at a midsize
property casualty insurance carrier. This chapter is authored by
Dan Hair, the CRO
of the Workers Compensation Fund. In this chapter, the
motivations of executive
management and the board of directors in taking existing
strategic risk manage-
ment discussions to a higher level are reviewed. The step-by-
step actions taken by
the company to develop the ERM program are explained in
chronological order.
External resources used are also commented upon. The chapter
concludes with a
discussion of striking an ongoing balance between program
rigor, documentation,
and business needs.
53. Chapter 12, “Measuring Performance at Intuit: A Value-Added
Component
in ERM Programs,” shows how Intuit, maker of Quicken,
QuickBooks, and Turbo-
Tax, is committed to creating new and easier ways for
consumers and businesses to
tackle life’s financial chores, giving them more time to live
their lives and
run their businesses. This case study shows how Intuit, a global
company, is
exposed to a wide range of customer-related and operational
risks. Understand-
ing the risk landscape enables Intuit to formulate and execute
strategies to address
potential pitfalls and opportunities. The author, Janet Nasburg,
is Chief Risk Offi-
cer at Intuit. Janet is responsible for driving Intuit’s ERM
capability, ensuring that
the company appropriately balances opportunities and risks to
achieve optimal
business results. Before Intuit, Janet spent 16 years in various
finance roles at Visa,
and has more than 30 years of risk management and finance
experience.
54. Chapter 13 describes TD Bank’s ERM program and how it has
been developed
to reinforce the risk culture and ensure that all stakeholders
have a common under-
standing of how risks are addressed within the organization.
This is achieved by
identifying the risks to TD Bank’s business strategy and
operations, determining
the types of risk it is prepared to take, establishing policies and
practices to gov-
ern risks, and following an ERM framework to manage those
risks. This chapter is
co-authored by Paul Cunha and Kristina Narvaez. Paul Cunha is
Vice President,
Enterprise Risk Management at TD Bank. During his career at
TD Bank, he has
spent time in risk management, internal audit, retail banking,
commercial bank-
ing, and corporate and investment banking. Kristina Narvaez is
the president and
owner of ERM Strategies, LLC, and is co-editor of this book.
PART III: LINKING ERM TO STRATEGY AND
STRATEGIC RISK MANAGEMENT
Part III of this book demonstrates the link between ERM and
55. strategy in what is
now being called strategic risk management (SRM). SRM
represents an important
evolution in enterprise risk management, shifting from a
reactive approach to a
www.it-ebooks.info
http://www.it-ebooks.info/
8 Implementing Enterprise Risk Management
proactive approach in dealing with the large spectrum of risks
across the organi-
zation. These case studies view their risk-taking activities in a
strategic way, not
only to protect the organization’s value and assets, but also to
be able to capture
new value that is in alignment with the strategic goals of the
organization.
Zurich Insurance Group, the case study in Chapter 14,
demonstrates the link
between ERM and strategy. Zurich is a global insurance carrier
56. and is exposed to
a wide range of risks. Zurich recognizes that taking the right
risks is a necessary
part of growing and protecting shareholder value. It is careful
not to miss valu-
able market opportunities that could attract the best talent and
investor capital, but
must also balance the growth opportunities with the reality that
it is operating in
a complex world economy. This chapter is co-authored by Linda
Conrad, Director
of Strategic Business Risk Management at Zurich and Kristina
Narvaez, president
and owner of ERM Strategies, LLC and co-editor of this book.
Linda leads a global
team responsible for delivering tactical solutions to Zurich and
to its customers on
strategic issues such as business resilience, supply chain risk,
ERM, risk culture,
and total risk profiling.
Chapter 15, “Embedding ERM into Strategic Planning at the
City of Edmon-
ton,” is written by Ken Baker, who is their ERM Program
Manager. This study
57. examines the process used by the City of Edmonton in Alberta,
Canada, to estab-
lish its strategic ERM model. After examining several existing
frameworks, the
City decided on a framework based on the ISO 31000 risk
management standard,
but customized to suit the City’s needs. During the process,
administration had
to weigh factors common to any large organization, as well as
those specific to
governments in general and municipalities in particular. The
chronicling of this
process may assist those in similar organizations to more
successfully implement
their own ERM and SRM programs.
Chapter 16 describes a brief history of the evolution of
enterprise risk
management and describes a new and innovative approach
(value mapping) to
measuring the potential value by taking risks. This chapter also
provides a model
for incorporating the ERM process into strategic planning. John
Bugalla, Principal
of ermINSIGHTS and author of Chapter 7, and James Kallman,
58. a finance professor
at St. Edward’s University, co-author this chapter. John’s

PART IV: SPECIALIZED ASPECTS OF
RISK MANAGEMENT
Part IV of the book captures unique aspects of ERM so that the
reader can learn
about the many broad applications, including insights into
managing specific
types of risk. This part starts with a case study in Chapter 17 of
the challenges
of risk management within a typical police department. This
case is followed by
eight additional chapters addressing other intriguing aspects of
risk management.
Andrew Graham reveals the complex and challenging aspects of
risk manage-
59. ment in Chapter 17, “Developing a Strategic Risk Plan for the
Hope City Police Ser-
vice.” This fictional case study was developed based on many
years of teaching risk
management to police forces. The setting is a medium-sized but
growing city that

is facing many issues, including changes in demographics,
traffic issues, budgetary
challenges, and so on. The student is required to act as a
consultant who has been
hired by the chief of police to assist him in briefing the Police
Services Board and the
mayor in understanding the most critical risks to their objective
of having a best-
in-class police service for their citizens. Andrew Graham
researches, teaches, and
writes on public-sector management, financial management,
60. integrated risk man-
agement, and governance at Queen’s University School of
Policy Studies, Canada,
as well as a variety of international and Canadian venues.
Andrew had an exten-
sive career in Canada’s criminal justice system and has taught
and worked with
police services and police boards and commissioners in a
variety of ways for the
past 10 years.
Chapter 18, “Blue Wood Chocolates,” is designed to facilitate
discussion of the
implementation of an ERM framework, corporate governance
issues, and com-
modity risk management. The situation that this fictional
company faces is typi-
cal of many midsize companies that have performed
satisfactorily in the past but
are exposed, often unknowingly, to major potential risks and do
not have the
internal governance and risk management structures to identify,
quantify, and
manage such risks adequately. In particular, this case illustrates
commodity and
61. foreign currency exposures, and challenges the student to
investigate the specifics
of hedging such positions. Rick Nason, PhD, CFA, and Stephen

thored this chapter. Rick is an associate professor of finance at
