CERM Risk Insights #10

Hello Readers:

Risk seems to be taking over the world. Doubt this? Take a look at the front page of any newspaper or listen to a TV program.  What hits you?  It’s all about risk.

So, we are getting daily requests for risk information in different industries and sectors.  Only one problem, we don’t have risk guru’s to answer all the questions.  If you’ve got a risk story to tell or a risk tip to share, please get hold of us and we’ll talk about an article for CERM Risk Insights.  Readership is now 20K folks worldwide.

The Pitch: More than 1,000,000 companies worldwide are registered to ISO 9001. Next iteration of ISO 9001 is risk based. Get ready. Get CERM-sized.  BTW: All CERMs will get free access to our Asymmetric War or Cyber Security webinar series coming up in 2013.
