CERM Risk Insights #42

Readers:
Risk continues to gain steam in a number of professions and associations.  Aside from ISO, we’re seeing the adoption of risk in over 20 sectors of international and national standards.  Interestingly, we’re also seeing the integration of risk and quality into the standards development process.
In this issue, we continue to look at how risk is evolving in project management, ISO 9001:2015 development, supply chain management, and software development.  We’d like to hear your thoughts.  Best,
