ISACA Ireland 2015 conference was excellent. There were over 300 attendees from 10 countries. My presentation Is Protecting the Balance Sheet Enough?" was well attended and concluded with an excellent Q&A session. My session explored three recent high-profile Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) failures and the role organizational culture played. The session also showed how an organization could leverage characteristics of High Reliability Organizations (HRO) to combat ERM failures.
My personal risk philosophy is, keep it simple, be sensitive to your surroundings so you can quickly adapt to the changing environment, stay focused on the most important objectives and most importantly follow a disciplined approach and don't get distracted by all the noise in the environment.
After publishing my first book,Chaos to Clarity, I stumbled upon an article that described the ancient rune Jera (pronounced Year . Ra). The runic alphabet emerged sometime between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century. The runic alphabet known as Elder Futhark consists of 24 runes one of which is Jera. I noticed an interesting relationship between the description of Jera and two important risk management principles; stay focused and practice a disciplined approach.
