The good folks at Riskviews got me thinking about my least read posts. I’ve been doing this for a few years and understand that no one wants to scroll through over 300 blog entries to find some gems from 2006. So here are a few items you may have missed that might be worth your [...]

St Patrick’s Day green bikini photos

Unable to come up with any St Patrick’s Day risk management-related post, I was going to post a photo of me drinking a Guinness or Karissa Shannon in a green bikini. Guess which one I chose? http://coedmagazine.com/2011/03/17/karissa-shannon-st-patricks-day-beach-bikini-pictures/ (Photo removed, sorry.)
Centre of the risk management universe
Posted in Risk management, tagged ERM, risk management, Riskczar, Toronto on September 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Toronto has long believed it was the Centre of the Universe. Well, in risk management circles, perhaps now it is. Last week the Department of Finance Canada announced the creation of the Global Risk Institute in Financial Services or GRi. It will be an “independent, not-for-profit entity with a board of directors and an advisory research [...]
Myron Scholes groupies

I had a chance to see Myron Scholes speak in Toronto yesterday. Scholes: from Black-and fame. The option guy. That Nobel Prize guy. (A Canadian by the way!) Before I completed my undergrad in Finance, I studied a lot of nerd stuff in high school: physics, organic chemistry, math. In those fields you learn about [...]
I’m not dead yet

This story in today’s Globe and Mail kills me. I guess it’s true what they say about death and taxes. If you were looking at the financial data from Toronto-based funeral company, Arbor, you might think that people were dropping dead left and right in Canada recently. Is swine flu claiming lives? Are Leaf fans [...]
Happy Birthday Riskczar Blog

Although I’ve got a few posts dating back to 2005, this incarnation of the Riskczar blog had its start exactly one year ago. Since then the feedback has been tremendous and I’ve quite enjoyed bringing you my spin on risk management matters. Earlier today I cracked the 13,000 views mark for the year. While lately [...]
Riskczar’s thoughts on next week’s G20
Posted in My Opinions, Risk management, tagged BCP, G20, risk treatment, Riskczar, Toronto, zombie on June 16, 2010 | 1 Comment »
In case you haven’t heard, the G20 Summit is coming to Toronto next week. In my current role, I’ve been involved in some of the business continuity planning but mostly from a communication perspective. All of the heavy lifting had already been done. The event is taking place in the heart of Toronto’s financial district. [...]
Reputation risk and ERM
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged CFO, ERM, reputation risk, Riskczar on May 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Have a read at this article in CFO.com about reputation risk. I always remind readers that reputation risk is a second order risk caused by some other event or risk. Think about Toyota: their reputation was harmed by the recent recalls but as a risk it is not something they could have treated proactively and [...]
One of many czars

The current cover of Newsmax features all of Obama’s many czars. Sadly, I was unavailable for the photo.
