The Diamond Datascram Diaries: Diamond Datascram Development Polsinelli PC
Our 2017 Labor and Employment Webinar Series will track the challenges that employers face through the highs and lows of the business cycle that can drive and ultimately determine a company’s success. Stages in this cycle can include company formation, growth through new investments or strategic alliances, and workforce restructuring due to changing economic conditions.
At each stage, there are discrete labor and employment issues that must be understood and addressed, which exist alongside complicating factors such as changing technologies, regulatory oversight and best practices for a compliant workforce. Polsinelli’s Labor and Employment attorneys will be joined by colleagues from practices across the firm (including Intellectual Property, White Collar, and Employee Benefits) to provide a comprehensive review of these issues.
In this series, we will follow the rise and fall of the innovative but fictional Diamond Datascram Inc. during the four main phases of the business cycle:
1. Formation: Diamond Datascram Development
2. Peak: Diamond Datascram Dominance
3. Contraction: Diamond Datascram Decline
4. Trough: Diamond Datascram Decimated
Learn over a dozen unique accounting, HR, and managerial anti-fraud alternative considerations that businesses, governmental and not-for-profit organizations can implement to reduce the risk of internal embezzlement and asset misappropriation. In addition to discussing the fraud prevention measures, this course will incorporate some real-life examples of frauds perpetrated, what lead to their discovery and what steps could have been taken to prevent them from occurring.

This document provides an overview of building successful business partnerships in China. It discusses the legal and regulatory environment, examples of fraud and corruption, cultural differences, and strategies for mitigating risk. The business environment in China has become more complex with growing income inequality and erosion of traditional ethics. Successful partnerships require taking time to build deep trust through relationships, as trust is valued over legal agreements in Chinese culture. Thorough due diligence, internal controls, and compliance programs are needed to navigate the risks of doing business in China.

Did Mom take her morning meds? Did she take the right meds?
Imagine a world where you receive notifications when your mother misses her morning medications and where her doctor automatically receives her Glucometer or Pulse Oximeter readings. This talk will be an introductory discussion about taking an Internet Of Things (IoT) approach to keeping our loved ones safe, in their own homes longer, and elongate their presence in our lives. We will be discussing the challenges around applying IoT technologies to personal healthcare and how we can use Pivotal Technologies to build a more efficient solution.
The discussion will start by reviewing the challenges with personal healthcare including the privacy and security concerns and considerations. We will also delve into how Arther C Clarke's third law can be used to describe IoT technologies. With this context, we will explore building a personal healthcare IoT solution on PCF using Spring Technologies.
Japanese militarism developed from the Meiji Restoration and referred to the ideology that the military should dominate Japan. The early Meiji government viewed a strong military as necessary to defend against threats. Under Yamagata, universal conscription was introduced in 1873, indoctrinating soldiers with loyalty to the emperor. German advisor Meckel greatly influenced the development of the Japanese military based on the Prussian model. Japan joined the imperialist powers after victories over China and Russia, seeking resources for industry. The military grew independent from civilian control and could influence government formation. Opposition to militarism came from individuals in politics, business and culture but faced repression as militarism increased in the 1930s.

Complex cybersecurity issues like data breaches, ransomware attacks, and evolving threats from sophisticated hackers are an ongoing challenge for all industries. The healthcare industry in particular saw over 100 million patient records compromised in 2015. While estimating costs of data breaches is difficult, the average reported cost is around $6.5 million per breach or $217 per compromised record. Proper preparation, compliance, security practices, incident response planning, and legal risk management are needed to deal with these ongoing threats.

The document discusses opportunities and challenges of doing business in Asia-Pacific. It outlines several key opportunities, including a growing consumer market driven by an emerging middle class, and increasing digitalization and e-commerce. However, it also notes challenges such as differing regulations across countries, competition from state-owned enterprises, information deficiencies, and needing to understand and adapt to different business systems in each market. Overall, it emphasizes that international businesses must develop flexible, localized strategies to navigate the region's diverse opportunities and institutional differences.
All levels of society rely upon information technology systems. Network operations are pervasive and impact nearly every aspect of our society. The desire of companies to collect, use, store, and secure information about customers, employees, and other individuals is a requirement of the new economy. It is no wonder that the prevalence of electronic communications and a growing dependency on cyber structures and operations also create potential vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. It is critical to preserve information systems and address and prevent weaknesses in cyber protection efforts. This webinar examines the means for companies to reach data goals ethically, efficiently and legally. Best practices and model comprehensive privacy and cybersecurity policies are discussed. And, data breach response and related litigation, including class action litigation issues and fiduciary duty violations under corporate law, are discussed.

While China has made progress in intellectual property laws and regulations due to WTO membership, enforcement remains inconsistent, especially at the local level. For small businesses, infringement by false students, untrustworthy employees, and other companies is a major risk. The government provides little protection, so small businesses must detect infringement themselves and find trustworthy partners. Unless a small business can hire private enforcement like larger multinationals, operating in China means being prepared to deal with infringement on one's own.

This document discusses regulatory initiatives in financial technology (fintech) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). It covers the definition and history of fintech, its potential impacts, and key regulatory challenges and responses. Fintech is defined as technological change in how business and financial activities are conducted. Key challenges for regulators include the fast pace of innovation, lack of experience among some fintech firms, and ensuring an appropriate regulatory balance between objectives like consumer protection and market growth. The document recommends approaches like regulatory analysis, innovation sandboxes, global standards, and building supervisory capacity to help address these challenges.
This document summarizes key differences between entrepreneurial ecosystems and startup challenges in China and the United States. It notes that while China faces many opportunities for innovation, its ecosystem lacks experienced talent, has strong copycat cultures, and weak IP protections. Exits are also more challenging in China, where IPOs have declined significantly since 2011 and M&A psychology differs due to regulatory barriers and cultural views of IP and talent. The document provides statistics on venture capital investment trends that show funding declines in China in recent years.
Identity fraud costs billions globally each year and impacts millions. Current solutions are reactive and costly.

They seek funding to develop and deploy their solution, with the goal of participating in every financial transaction process worldwide by providing identity authorization services.
Impact of data science in financial reporting James Deiotte
The document discusses the emerging impact of data science and analytics in financial reporting and auditing. It covers how descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics can be leveraged using data platforms to improve analysis and lower costs. Some key challenges discussed include determining what constitutes a digital asset, how to protect assets and data use given laws cannot keep up with technology, and considerations for boards around setting the right tone regarding data governance and controls. The role of auditors is still evolving with the rise of big data shifting what drives enterprise value. Overall it examines both opportunities and challenges as data science transforms accounting and auditing practices.
Core Elements of Retail LP Shortened version 15MBAlan Greggo
This document summarizes presentations from the ASIS International seminar on organized retail crime. It discusses the large financial impact of organized retail crime, with common targets being large retailers in major cities. Surveys found that ORC activities involve fencing stolen goods and theft rings. The document outlines various tools and strategies retailers use to combat ORC, such as security cameras, license plate readers, and dedicated ORC investigation teams. It also discusses preventing internal theft, protecting personally identifiable information, and crisis management procedures.
This document discusses fraud and the fraud process. It defines fraud and the three main types: misappropriation of assets, corruption, and fraudulent financial statements. It also describes the fraud triangle of perceived need, opportunity, and rationalization that allows fraud to occur. Finally, it outlines auditors' responsibility to detect fraud according to SAS-99, which requires understanding fraud risks and designing audit procedures to address those risks.
This document discusses corruption in public resource allocation in India. It notes that India ranked 97 out of 177 on the 2013 Corruption Perception Index. The sectors most vulnerable to corruption are infrastructure/real estate (85%), metal/mining (76%), and aerospace/defense (64%). Top corrupt practices involve mines/minerals, oil/gas, sand, special economic zones, stock markets, telecommunications, and defense deals. Major corruption scandals include the 2011 Antrix-Devas deal and the KG basin gas price issue. The top five reasons for corruption are weak law enforcement, many government touchpoints, complicated taxes/licensing, outdated rules, and gaining unfair business advantages. Steps to reduce corruption include improving governance
Uncertainty and change will likely dominate the post-pandemic world of travel. While security and
terrorism have been constant concerns for tourists, broader issues of personal safety, risk and crime will
understandably infuse travel decision making in the wake of COVID-19. This chapter explores the
multitude of definitions and expressions that make direct comparisons of security between places
exceptionally difficult. In this chapter, context, hyper-specific location, travel security and crime
prevention techniques are introduced. The chapter also explores the relationships and overlaps of
international security, safety, terrorism, crime and risk. Complete with a series of systematic literature
reviews specific to each sub-topic, large data sets, expert analysis and evidence-based decision making,
this chapter offers practical tips for travellers at all levels of experience. The curated, practical advice will
empower tourists to contribute to their own personal security by better understanding the complexities
summed up with simple, practical guidance no matter where they venture. Overall, the consolidated
security and terrorism work within this chapter presents an updated base for tourists and the travel
industry to relaunch travel in the wake of one of the world’s most significant travel disruptions. Tourists
should be better informed and equipped for new travel challenges and adventures.
Throughout, and in the wake of a global pandemic, many countries have re-evaluated what exactly constitutes critical infrastructure and the importance of this infrastructure or systems of state/national significance. This reflection has also reconsidered exactly what critical infrastructure, facilities or systems of national significance mean to the country, community, and national security. Australia is no exception. However, not only has Australia informally re-evaluated the nature and status of its critical infrastructure but it has also broadened both the definition and legislation mandating greater security and risk management.
The context and impact of Australia’s reflexive security risk management actions and legislation have yet to be considered in full, especially as it relates to public/private security, and more importantly enterprise security risk management. That is, aside from the considerable change in critical infrastructure legislation, what does it mean for the information, knowledge and practice of security management and risk management within an organisational, infrastructure context? More specifically, when and where security and risk are conjoined as siloed functions? As a result, this discussion and information paper seeks to introduce the topic of critical infrastructure and systems of national significance as a contemporary challenge or mature consideration for security and/or risk management practices.
While focused on Australia primarily, the critical infrastructure discourse has security risk management implications for most countries and jurisdictions. This paper explores global opinions, prior research and explicit public security guidance from national agencies and authorities about security risk management and critical infrastructure. It is therefore hoped, this initial summary and supporting observations spawns and supports a new age of security and risk sciences within the protection and resilience of critical infrastructure, systems of national significance and enterprise security risk management.
This information and discussion presentation offers the first step in unpacking and understanding the change, requirements and demands of security and risk management practices and processes within the critical infrastructure and systems of national significance. Moreover, this presentation explores the technical and professional nuances of security management and risk management and how it is inadequately defined or communicated in legislation and practice. Posing the greatest question for governments, operators, and security/risk practitioners. Security for who, when, how, to what standard and in what context? In addition to the reality that if ‘risk’ management was inadequate and unable to self-regulate or evolve to face the evolving and changing threats, what changed? In short, changing laws, rules and expectations fails to raise the bar of security and risk management practices without a commensurate increase in the underlying information, knowledge, education and experience of security and risk representatives. This deficit will not be corrected nor rectified overnight, with the subsequent ‘gap’ likely evident for years after the new threat and legislation. For now, the current individual and collective risk profile is likely that of fragility and vulnerability, not resilience, with the greatest liability that of humans, not infrastructure.
Travel risk ratings: The risk is not the advance forecast, it is the reckless and negligent recalibration once events become past, past becomes data and data become evidence. It is the proof of specific, contextual numbers that makes drunk driving, untested medicines and random guesses SAFER than travel risk ratings because before the event and data was uncertainty, after the accumulation of numbers, there is a certainty.
The document discusses research on the relationship between media, terrorism, and risk perception. It provides summaries of several academic sources that cover topics such as:
1. How social media provides opportunities for terrorists but algorithms alone do not shape communication.
2. Exposure to terrorism news increases perceived risk but not self-risk, and understanding how risk perceptions are shaped is important.
3. Definitions of terrorism were not seen to change after attacks, only reaffirming prior conceptions from media cases.
Tony Ridley is an international security and risk management professional. His LinkedIn profile describes security risk management as a sport with the following characteristics:
1) It involves many varied individuals and groups such as players, opposition, trainers, umpires, coaches, managers, and owners, each with their own objectives, skills, motivations, and roles that can change over time.
2) The field of play for managing security risks can be anywhere in the virtual or physical world, and the conditions and rules are also varied and change regularly.
3) Performance in security risk management is difficult to measure objectively as indicators often lag behind and are influenced by outside observers, audiences, and commentators removed from

It includes information about his membership in security industry groups and lists references related to security education distributions, the security industry distribution, and concepts like the fat tail distribution hypothesis, Pareto principle, and power law. The references are cited in relation to analyzing security industry problems historically to help guide solutions for the future.
The document discusses a 20-year analysis conducted by a professor that found experts to be routinely wrong in their predictions. The analysis examined 284 highly educated experts and over 82,000 estimates of the future. It also found that random volunteers from around the US outperformed the $50 billion per year US Intelligence community in forecasting geopolitical events, even when intelligence analysts had access to classified information. The document advocates for an "evidence-based forecasting" approach similar to evidence-based medicine, moving away from decision making based on experience and authority toward quantification and analysis.
This document provides a summary of George Orwell's 1946 essay "Politics and the English Language" and lists six essential rules for clear communication. The rules advise using short words over long, cutting unnecessary words, using active voice, and avoiding foreign phrases, scientific jargon, and metaphors that have lost their original meaning. An example is given of metaphors like "ring the changes" and "hotbed" that Orwell argued had become meaningless due to overuse.

Tony Ridley is an international security and risk management professional with references listed. The document discusses evidence that skilled poachers were not favored recruits to become gamekeepers, as the skills required for poaching differ from those needed for gamekeeping. While some knowledge of poaching techniques could help with policing aspects of gamekeeping, managing game resources requires a different skill set. The document also notes that while the phrase "poacher-turned-gamekeeper" is often used to describe bad actors being recruited into security, there is little evidence that this was common practice historically.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

5. Trade Secrets & IP
“American Nobel Laureate Robert Solow discovered back
in 1956 that about 88 % of economic growth is attributable
to innovation.
…………………In today’s globalized economy that is truer
than ever. Innovation is a fundamental means of
differentiation.”
Mr. Werner Wenning
Chairman of the Board of Management, Bayer
June, 30th, 2004

• Plant design and operations
• Internal work processes
• Training manuals
• Financial data, client data, employee list

Land of Complexities/Extremes/Contradictions

• Plaza 66/Wuling – the real China
All of these impact the IP/TS operating environment
8. Not in Kansas anymore…
• China is a high risk environment for IP
and trade secret protection “Toto, I have a feeling
• PRC investment incentives for we’re not in Kansas
bringing advanced
technologies….why? anymore!”
• Threats from rogue employees,
domestic and foreign competitors,
vendors, suppliers and the State
• Competition for technology and a
“competitive” edge is increasing
• Relying on the “legal” system for
appropriate recourse is not realistic
• The question is not “if” you will loose
your trade secrets, but “when”
• Companies should have a structured,
disciplined and integrated approach MGM Studios
to IP and TS protection
10. The Long March -- Communes to market
economy
1989…a swamp!
…and now a global
business centre!
11. Before 1979 – Absolute economic disasters
Eating from the Big Guo The Great Leap Forward
The Great Steel Production The Cultural Revolution
12. Phase 1: 1979 to 1992
Starting from zero
• People’s communes ceased to
exist
• Production units responsible for
own profits and losses
• “Special Economic Zones”
established
• From SRE to SOE
• 1989 Tiananmen Square incident
– major set back to reform
13. Phase 2: 1992 to 2003
Deng’s economic reforms
State-owned enterprise reform
• Protect larger ones, let go of small ones
• SOEs step back, private enterprises move
forward
• Privatization of SOEs
M&A
Convert to share holding company
Sell to private sector
Famous Deng quotes:
• “Black cat and white cat”
• “Feeling the stones to cross the river”
• “Let a small group of people get rich first”
14. Phase 3: 2004 to Present
Scientific Development/Harmonious Society

• Migration to high value/high tech products (R&D)
• Greater protectionism & worker rights (ACFTU)
• Greater investment scrutiny
• Increasing awareness of social and environmental issues
• Global resource “mining”
• Rising nationalism, more emboldened China
• Continuing reluctance to participate in global affairs
A riskier operating environment for foreign MNC
15. Continued Industrial Policy in China
China market economy is structured and regulated to meet a
clear and deliberate “industrial” policy established every 5
years. Example:
• Foreign AP Headquarters – 223 (Shanghai alone)
• Foreign R&D Centers – over 700 FIE
• FDI “Go West” (high-tech outpost)
11th – 5 year plan (2006-2010) includes:
• Two themes:
“Scientific approach to development”

suppliers

for litigation”
18. Legal Protection and Recourse in China
Although the legal system
is improving, foreign companies
cannot rely on the system for fair

enforcement of an IP/TS judgment.
Investigations and litigation are time
consuming, operationally disruptive,
and costly with unpredictable
results….enforcement is difficult.
Prevention is the key!
