Events which massively impact your reputation need to be managed upfront. But which events can can harm you so much? is it the small events that get out of control or the large rare events that you have missed? I am proposing a method which can help you understand where you have weaknesses and help focus your efforts.
This document provides an agenda for a crash course on managing cyber risk using quantitative analysis. It covers concepts like risk, uncertainty, and risk management approaches. It then discusses qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative risk analysis methods. Monte Carlo simulation and PERT distributions are presented as tools for quantitative analysis. Exercises are provided to demonstrate applying these concepts, including estimating the risk associated with unencrypted laptops being lost or stolen.
1) The document discusses uncertainty and differentiating it from risk, as uncertainty encompasses factors beyond one's control like time, place, and being fully prepared.
2) It notes that while people often think in terms of certainty, there are always unknown unknowns that can disrupt plans and expectations.
3) Uncertainty analysis is presented as a way to systematically assess all possible factors that could lead to success or failure in a given situation.

The document discusses the phenomenon of "risky shift", where groups tend to make riskier decisions than individuals. It explains that risky shift occurs because influential group members can persuade others and individuals feel their personal risk is reduced by sharing it with the group. The document also discusses how risky shift relates to management, with managers sometimes distancing themselves from subordinates or micromanaging to reduce perceived personal risk. It concludes by noting risky shift can lead groups like juries to make riskier decisions than individuals, with potentially disastrous outcomes.

The document provides advice on taking a standardized approach to disaster recovery planning. It recommends answering three key questions first: who owns disaster recovery, what the goals of the planning effort are, and how to define a disaster. It also suggests focusing on critical business functions that could no longer be performed rather than specific disaster types when planning. Establishing good governance through policy, standards and templates can provide consistency. Following an established framework can make disaster recovery planning more manageable. The overall goal is to put a solid plan in place without trying to solve every problem at once.

Cyber risk management and the benefits of quantificationDavid X Martin
Cyber security is an unknown, unknown risk which is difficult to quantify. Focus on the impact of the cyber security events, not how they happen. Use disruption models to quantify operational disruptions. Convert as many unknown risks into known risks, so they can be quantified. And for those truly unknowable risks, focus on what needs to be done to ensure survivability.
A false sense of security is the best cure for your conscious yet less effective against a real attack.
Security is about risks and how you manage it, if you like to build good security you need to perform risk management and periodically measure risk against your security template. Attacks shift and so does your budget assignment. Simple questions can reveal more
needs and address security in those areas of importance.

Behavioral Economics At Work Nunnally, Steadman, Baxter Las Vegas Finalksteadman
The document summarizes a presentation on behavioral economics and judgment risk given by Tyler Nunnally, the founder and CEO of Upside Risk. The presentation discusses concepts from behavioral economics like heuristics and biases that can lead to judgment errors, and examines how risk appetite can impact decision making and business performance. Best practices for managing judgment risk and reducing biases are also covered.
Crisis management involves preventing crises from becoming catastrophes through planning and coordination. A crisis is defined as an event that threatens vital interests and demands rapid decision making. While crises are unlikely, their impacts can be high. Effective crisis management requires defining roles, creating communication plans, and conducting training before a crisis occurs. During a crisis, clear, consistent messaging and flexibility are important. After a crisis, lessons should be learned through analysis to update plans. Preparation is key to effective crisis response.

This document discusses crisis and risk management for companies. It defines a crisis as an event that could significantly impact an organization. Crisis management involves identifying potential crises, planning responses, and resolving crises in an effective manner. The goal is to minimize damage to a company's reputation, profits, and operations. Good crisis management includes clear communication and demonstrating control over the situation. While crises cannot always be predicted, companies should have risk management processes and crisis response plans in place.
This document discusses the concept of risk from multiple perspectives. It begins by providing examples of risks faced around the world from food shortages to natural disasters. It then defines risk and discusses it in the context of business environments and change. The document outlines different types of risks including financial, operational, strategic and hazard risks. It provides examples of risks within each category. It also discusses risk analysis and management. In summary, the document presents an overview of what risk is, different sources and types of risk, and the importance of risk analysis for decision making.
The document discusses risk assessment in laboratory settings. It explains that risk assessments are important to evaluate potential hazards of experiments and activities. Employers must analyze what could go wrong, the likelihood, and consequences to implement safety precautions. Risk assessments cover procedures, work environments, and substance handling, storage and transportation. Regulatory agencies inspect risk assessments to ensure compliance with health and safety laws and encourage improved safety practices.
The document provides 5 steps for conducting better risk assessments, including adopting a root-cause approach to risk identification, standardizing a 1-10 assessment scale and criteria, linking risks to controls and strategic goals, and embedding risk management into everyday activities. It explains how prioritizing risks based on their root causes and using a consistent 1-10 scale allows organizations to better understand their top risks and prioritize mitigation activities. Following these best practices can help risk assessments add more value to businesses by providing transparent and actionable risk information.
The document discusses risk management for businesses. It identifies two main categories of risk: systematic risk which are uncontrollable market risks like interest rates and recessions, and unsystematic risks which are company-specific like new competitors or loss of key personnel. It emphasizes assessing the likelihood and potential impact of risks to determine which require the most attention. Some options to mitigate risk include developing contingency plans, strengthening internal controls, diversifying revenue sources, evaluating entity structure, using legal agreements, and purchasing insurance. The overall goal of risk management is to identify risks, assess potential damages, and establish systems to address risks.
This document discusses crisis and risk management for companies. It defines a crisis as anything that could significantly impact an organization. Crisis management involves identifying potential crises, planning responses, and resolving crises to minimize damage to a company's reputation, profits, and operations. The crisis life cycle has three stages - the crisis breaks, the crisis intensifies, and rebuilding after the crisis passes. Effective crisis management includes good communication, understanding risks, and being prepared to respond quickly to crises.
This document discusses crisis and risk management for events and event marketing. It defines risk management as a proactive process to handle potential future risks, while crisis management is a reactive process to address unforeseen adverse events. The document outlines important aspects of crisis management planning, including identifying crisis response teams, monitoring for early warnings, and having emergency contact lists and communication procedures. It also discusses evaluating risks associated with events like injuries, reputational damage, and weather. The case study provides an example of how one company implemented event risk management for a meeting in Bogota during protests by closely monitoring security, vetting travel and hotels, and having an on-site crisis action plan.
COVID-19 Crisis Management Toolkit for Family Business (Executive Summary)Devin DeCiantis
As the short-term impact and longer-term implications of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to develop, LGA has developed a collection of slides for you to share freely with your family, your Board and your executives to help them make sense of the situation and build a common vocabulary and toolkit to deal with the crisis.
The slides include practical advice for enterprising families and their key governance entities (Boards, Family Councils, C-Suite, Foundations) for developing a short-term crisis response plan, as well as ideas from our Risk Practice for designing a longer-term Family Enterprise Risk Management (FERM) program. We have also included updated data and analysis on the pandemic more generally.

Social Listening in Practice: Reputation & Crisis MonitoringBrandwatch
Every organization, regardless of size, will encounter a crisis at some point. Thankfully, not every organization will have to deal with one involving serious loss of life or injury. But every organization will encounter reputation issues with differing degrees of severity and impact.
But no matter what the size of your business, the principles and processes for effective crisis communications in the social media age are the same.
Our new guide outlines best practices for detecting and responding to a crisis, while also exploring:
- What reputation monitoring actually means
- How to identify a crisis, intelligently assess the damage, escalate and respond
- Real-world crisis case studies from Boeing, the Beverly Hills Hotel, United Airlines, Marriott Hotel & Walmart/ASDA
This document discusses the results of a global risk management survey conducted by Aon that ranked the top 50 risks facing organizations. It then discusses additional research Aon conducted with over 100 captive insurance company directors to get their perspectives on some of the risk rankings from the original survey. For several risks, including computer crimes/hacking and pandemic risk, a large percentage of the captive directors felt the rankings in the original survey underrated the potential impact and complexity of those risks. The document advocates that risks are growing in complexity and interconnectivity, challenging traditional approaches to risk management.
STRATEGIC PLANNINGManaging Risks A NewFrameworkby Rob.docxsusanschei
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Managing Risks: A New
Framework
by Robert S. Kaplan and Anette Mikes
FROM THE JUNE 2012 ISSUE
W
Editors’ Note: Since this issue of HBR went to press, JP Morgan, whose risk management practices are
highlighted in this article, revealed significant trading losses at one of its units. The authors provide
their commentary on this turn of events in their contribution to HBR’s Insight Center on Managing
Risky Behavior.
hen Tony Hayward became CEO of BP, in 2007, he vowed to make safety his top
priority. Among the new rules he instituted were the requirements that all
employees use lids on coffee cups while walking and refrain from texting while
driving. Three years later, on Hayward’s watch, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf
of Mexico, causing one of the worst man-made disasters in history. A U.S. investigation commission
attributed the disaster to management failures that crippled “the ability of individuals involved to
identify the risks they faced and to properly evaluate, communicate, and address them.” Hayward’s
story reflects a common problem. Despite all the rhetoric and money invested in it, risk
management is too often treated as a compliance issue that can be solved by drawing up lots of rules
and making sure that all employees follow them. Many such rules, of course, are sensible and do
reduce some risks that could severely damage a company. But rules-based risk management will not
diminish either the likelihood or the impact of a disaster such as Deepwater Horizon, just as it did
not prevent the failure of many financial institutions during the 2007–2008 credit crisis.
Identifying and Managing
Preventable Risks
In this article, we present a new categorization of risk that allows executives to tell which risks can
be managed through a rules-based model and which require alternative approaches. We examine
the individual and organizational challenges inherent in generating open, constructive discussions
about managing the risks related to strategic choices and argue that companies need to anchor these
discussions in their strategy formulation and implementation processes. We conclude by looking at
how organizations can identify and prepare for nonpreventable risks that arise externally to their
strategy and operations.
Managing Risk: Rules or Dialogue?
The first step in creating an effective risk-management system is to understand the qualitative
distinctions among the types of risks that organizations face. Our field research shows that risks fall
into one of three categories. Risk events from any category can be fatal to a company’s strategy and
even to its survival.
Category I: Preventable risks.
These are internal risks, arising from within the organization, that are controllable and ought to be
eliminated or avoided. Examples are the risks from employees’ and managers’ unauthorized, illegal,
unethical, incorrect, or inappropriate actions and the risks from br.
The document discusses different types of problems including 'tame', 'messy', and 'wicked' problems and how their complexity relates to approaches for risk management. It also examines the differences between management and leadership strategies for addressing uncertainty and ambiguity depending on the problem type. Effective risk management requires qualitative approaches for 'wicked' problems with high behavioral complexity and ambiguity.
This document discusses risk management and provides definitions of risk. It summarizes the key steps in the risk management process as establishing context, identifying risks, analyzing risks, evaluating risks, treating risks, and monitoring and reviewing risks on an ongoing basis. Communication and consultation are also emphasized. Various risk management models and the benefits of risk management for organizations are outlined. Myths about risk management are dispelled.

In this talk we'll have a look to the cumulative effect of the constraints of a remote working environment and of the common countermeasures.

Impact of Effective Performance Appraisal Systems on Employee Motivation and ...Dr. Nazrul Islam
Healthy economic development requires properly managing the banking industry of any
country. Along with state-owned banks, private banks play a critical role in the country's economy.
Managers in all types of banks now confront the same challenge: how to get the utmost output from
their employees. Therefore, Performance appraisal appears to be inevitable since it set the
standard for comparing actual performance to established objectives and recommending practical
solutions that help the organization achieve sustainable growth. Therefore, the purpose of this
research is to determine the effect of performance appraisal on employee motivation and retention.

1. Turning a Black Swan

Where should you invest your efforts to
reduce reputational impact?

2. We cant imagine something so bad happening
We underestimate the consequences or don’t consider all potential
repercussions of the event
We are not holistic in our approach
It cant happen to me!
We simply don’t know.
Learning from the past
If you have ever worked in an insurance company, and more specifically in the claims departments, you will have
been exposed to some of the craziest events you can imagine.
The most unlikely events, scenarios, consequences and stories have all happened to someone, somewhere,
somehow.
So what are some of the reasons for these massive reputational hits?
From a practical view,
which Black Swan event
has never happened
before?
To be more specific, which
initiator of the event has
never happened before?
We need to break the events down into a
series of components so that we can manage
them effectively
3. #
Initiator Impact Accelerator Resistance
Every event has multiple facets which
are complex and dynamic.
However each event has a series of components which are generic
The way a company
handles the initiator, the
impact and accelerators
will have a tremendous
effect on the overall
outcome of the event on
the strategic goals of the
company
What happens following
the event will depend on
a time line of events that
have happened in the
past and could happen
in the future
The event needs to take
place or be one element of
the risk register or risk
mapping. Its why the risk
register entries need to
define or describe a
scenario. This to avoid two
people arriving at different
conclusions because the
scenarios they bud are
different
The event will have to
have some sort of
impact regardless of
what or where it is. This
impact will depend on
view point, type of event
and where you draw the
boundary or risk
envelope.

Media and world interest
at this time will play a
significant role in what
needs to be managed
and the ultimate size of
the event

A New Perspective Toward the
Future
Once broken down into these separate elements we
can start to:
• Identify were we have weak controls and
governance
• Where we are exposed to multiple scenarios and
therefore have a higher risk of such an event
becoming critical
• Where in the event chin we need to focus our
effects
• Quantify the impact such an event can have on
our bottom line and business model
Data Transparency
Identify where you are weak and strengthen those areas. The more
weaknesses you find the more you run the risk of a major event getting out of
control.
6. #
What is my inherent risk
and current status?
Many of these issues should already be captured in
the bottom up and top down risk identification
process. The overview of such risks and their
associated action plans highlights the level of risk and
the current vulnerability status within the company.

Key Note:
One element of black swans that is typically commented on is the issue of “we did
not identify the risk!” or “the risk could not be identified”. It should be clear that
people are identifying and then ignoring some events as they feel they are too
remote or they have them under control. Many people are also overwhelmed by
the number of potential risks they can have and thus only concentrate on those
which are feasible or sound logical. Calculating the worst case, all protection
methods failing, as done by most insurance companies should help in capturing
possible events. What we then do with the information is a second step in black
swan analysis.
This list can be extended to cover all of the potential
events and their associated risk category's. Each one
will have sub elements in a value driver tree format
enabling us to get a basic understanding, and
transparency, of where key controls and barriers are
needed or weak.
7. #
Location Location
Location.
Depending on where you are and the current maturity
of that country the impact of a normal event will be
registered. Again this should be part of your normal
risk identification and assessment approach. Be
aware of bias where underreporting of event severity
can be seen.

This elemnt of the approach tends to be physical in
nature. Ie associated with a country where the event
takes place. It can also, with a slight change of the
weights used, be where in your plant or which
regulation has been impacted.
8. #
Closeness.
Distance creates a dilution effect that can be a
significant risk reducing factor. In many event
scenarios this can be used affectively and can be
managed. It has been used in design for many years
successfully. However this is dynamic as not only are
there population changes but also legislation changes
that need to be continuously monitored.

Again this element is oriented towards an
environmental impact and event. That is normally
physical in nature. However if you are talking abut say
an Enron type event then the proximity to the public or
market would be a better analogy and corresponding
modifications to the methodology must be made.
9. #
Company Risk Attitude.
Time has two key components that need to be
captured and tracked. That of duration and speed,
which can be monitored in your normal risk
management process, but also global trends.
Tracking similar event types in similar, or even
dissimilar industries, requires a broader view and data
capture. Its not impossible as some of your current
consultants, service providers can give you insight
into some of these trends.

Opportunity and transparency
are sustainable.
Levels of obsolescence, focus on compliance, use of
double standard can all reflect on the company
culture. This has the affect of blinding us to events
which can impact the stakeholder value of the
company. But also limit severely the chance of
opportunity capture

Company culture has been discussed for many years, but I
always have the impression its misunderstood. There are
multiple examples of where the top management have
indicated that they have the right culture but failed when
tested. This culture is key if you are planning to apply
resistance to any catastrophic event that could take place.
11. #
Communication is key.
We have all seen the affect of communication on
stakeholder value. Too slow, not enough and
sometimes even no information can all negatively
impact the event results.
Media is a two-way street however. What we think and
what others think of us. These can be dramatically
different.

Information transparency is key. Whether ESG, CSR,
or even SEC 20f reporting the information needs to be
consistent, transparent and truthful. Failure to do this
correctly will amplify errors and you will be in a
defensive mode rather than a controlling and leading
mode.
12. #
What is the focus now and
in the future.
Does the world care right now? Sometimes yes,
sometimes no. Depends on the day and the recent
events.
Depends on the social and political focus today and
tomorrow.
Depends on if someone wants to run a negative
campaign against you.
Be prepared and expect the worst.

Why are there Black Swans?
14. Managing Transparency
As the potential Black Swan event has now been sub divided into smaller elements we can start to see through the
fog where we in fact need to focus our efforts.
Clearly you will have some functions
already operating in these areas such as
communications, HR etc. But you might
also have some gaps in the management
responsibility or you might not be asking for
information as you believe its irrelevant.
Running simple dry runs can make you
aware of your resilience to such events or
your flexibility in reacting to an unusual
scenario
You will have some areas where you are
more sensitive and through this
transparency you can review the strength
of the barriers you need or even the
functionality of these barriers

15. Negative examples
Union Carbide, Bhopal – the Initiator, Location and Proximity all affected directly the overall result of this event
Enron – the Initiator, Proximity, Company culture and possibly the Media made this event front page news
BP, Deep Water Horizon - Time, Media were sensitive areas here
Arthur Anderson – Initiator, Proximity and Media with no Resistance pushed them too far
Positive examples
Mining sector – there have been multiple storage dam failures over the last few years having devastating effects on
the public and environment. Some events arising from the same company's. But there has been no large outcry from
the public, no real global change to legislation and companies operate basically as before. Time and media have
been used well.
Steel industry – massive staff reductions in 10 of thousands not being captured but a few hundred people for some
smaller industries have made front pages of local newspapers. Timing and media with some company culture
elements have been managed positively to reduce image impact.

Its not the Oil Platform, or the Tailing
Pond dam breakage that triggers such
devastating affects. Ist what is taking
place in society, in other peer groups
and in recent history. This combination
of timing, location and media awareness
needs to be understood to avoid such
impacts.
Understanding which elements of this stakeholder value tree are key to you and your
reputation can help you focus and improve the barriers needed and manage the affect.
19. SUMMARY
The intention of this discussion is not to establish a register
for risks or opportunities that can be Black Swans. The
intention is to identify those existing risks captured during the
normal risk management approach and establish which ones
can become devastating. The elements which can turn a
“normal” event into a Black Swan event.
As noted previously all events have potentially occurred
already or have been identified. They have however
potentially been underestimated and the full extent of the
consequences not fully realized.
By use of this approach during a facilitated workshop can help
to capture similar events that are rare and the accelerators
that can create the domino effect necessary to trigger large
events.
