This article explores the importance of the NRMC’s strategies in risk management, highlighting National Critical Functions (NCFs) for cross-sector risk analysis and examining various met ..read more

Introduction Successful crisis management doesn’t just happen by accident. Being ready to meet the moment requires two things from all of us in the fields of Risk Management, Enterprise Resiliency and Crisis Management: Be in a constant state of readiness. Since you won’t know the precise nature of the crisis in advance (timing, location, or specifics required at the time), people who may be managing a crisis must always be in a constant state of readiness, as near to instantaneous as possible. Think in terms of “instant-on.” Have a wide range of contingencies at your disposal so you will be ..read more

Risk intelligence transcends mere technical proficiency, representing a deeply human endeavor that melds data-driven insights with intuitive foresight. It’s about discerning subtleties in data and perspectives, not just recognizing pot ..read more

Human beings have always had plenty of abilities in their back pocket, but at the same time, none can claim to be as defining as our ability of improving at a consistent pace. We say this because the stated ability has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the wh ..read more

With cyber security threats becoming more prevalent and sophisticated than ever before, It is essential for businesses to be aware of this changing landscape and develop strategies to mitigate potential issues ar ..read more

People have different reactions to social influence and exhibit a variety of degrees of trust in the information they receive. These issues impact how they assess the plausibility of events, compliance with rules and norms and, ultimately, how they perceive credibility and reputation. This is important because it usually takes years to acquire a solid reputation and recognition, but it could take a single adverse event to destroy an institution’s reputation and franchise value completely. In most of day-to-day activities people use primarily loose associations based on heuristics, analogies, p ..read more
