Monthly Newsletter – September 2020

Next Webinar Event: Q&A session on GOAT Risk™.  See below for details

Hi Everyone, kids back to school, weather changing and second wave clearly amongst us here is UK, hope everyone is keeping well.  It has been another busy month with lots of great content and events to share.  For those new to our newsletter and as a reminder, we don’t over use this e-mail list, instead we use social media so you can engage with our content and events as you like and once a month we will send a round up of content and activities.  This means if you are consuming it all at once, it can be quite a long read but hopefully worth your while.  If you no longer want to receive these e-mails, no worries, just hit reply and change the subject to Unsubscribe, I won’t take it personally as I know our time and inboxes are precious.

Stop Firefighting and get on the front foot of your business

This message to business leaders set out the why and how to get ahead of the business.  It’s about 4 things:

• Prioritisation
• Distribute accountability
• Problem Solving
• Performance Management

Hard to disagree right? And here’s the twist…that’s risk management.  To risk professionals, this might be a different way to motivate your leaders to take risk seriously and relevant.

Making sense of the risk software market

The #risktech market is crowded with hundreds of solutions, so this Software comparison report published by Satarla is great at narrowing the field and objectively comparing solutions for Enterprise Risk Management.  The report includes a 30mins video interview with the Author @Ollie DeBoer and hosted by Satala CEO @Sarah Gordon that sets out the thinking behind the research.

I know GOAT stands out on this chart and this is because we launched our company to disrupt, we recognised software is just a tool to embed risk management and most users are not risk experts so simplicity and affordability is the direction we went with.  If you want expensive and complex, check out the solutions on the bottom right.
