How is your organization navigating regulatory uncertainty in 2025? Are you leveraging advancements in technology to help achieve your goals? Our guest this week is Chris Maguire, the General Manager for Corporates Risk at Thomson Reuters. [3:06] We are going to talk about how technology is driving innovation in compliance, risk, and legal. We will talk about how AI and predictive analytics are reshaping corporate legal and compliance functions, and more. Let's get to it! [3:22] Interview! Chris Maguire, welcome to RIMScast! [3:29] Chris Maguire started in a Big Four firm in the '90s, in the auto practice. It was a great way to learn business and how they worked, focusing on understanding financial controls and risk, and how to make sure that companies were behaving correctly. [3:59] After an MBA, Chris started working for Thomson Reuters. He has been with them for about 20 years in the legal tech space. He started on the strategy side and transitioned after several years to driving the commercial teams in the risk business. [4:24] Now, Chris has the role of looking at product and industry strategy for corporations. Thomson Reuters is at the intersection of legal, risk, and compliance, and how they affect enterprises. [5:07] Chris says that 20 years ago, AI was not a fast-moving industry. There have been dramatic changes in the last few years. AI adoption by Thomson Reuters customers has doubled in the last year. Generative AI has been seen in a wide range of tasks. It started with drafting NDAs. [5:38] Salespeople are always asking for NDAs and how they can be drafted more quickly and easily. Now AI conducts legal research or helps draft a research memo or a complaint from a particular point of view. We're seeing it in drafting HR employment policies and rote tasks. [6:21] Chris explains the use of AI prompts tied to data sources, such as your data, data from Thomson Reuters, or other data providers. Chris is also seeing big data AI used a lot in analyzing outside spending and looking for cost savings. [7:14] Chris tells how AI helps in decision-making, using the example of knowing the vendors you choose for your supply chain and knowing your customers. AI can weed through all the news out there to make sure you're not dealing with a sanctioned entity. [8:22] AI can help with reputation risk. Is there forced labor in your supply chain? That matters to your reputation. It's not just whether a country is sanctioned, but what the individual entities in your supply chain are doing. There's a lot of focus on reputation today. [9:10] Justin recently had the Chief Impact Officer of EcoVadis on RIMScast Episode 329. They talked about forced labor and human trafficking in the supply chain. Use AI to help identify where forced labor and human trafficking are big risks, avoid them, and report them. [9:35] This is important on the corporate side and the government side of the business. Chris says it will be interesting to see the effect of tariffs. Thomson Reuters has updated about 50 million changes to its global trade products so far this year, compared to 100 million in 2024. [10:16] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! We are back on May 22nd, with GRC, a TÜV SÜD Company, and their newest session, “Asset Valuations in 2025: Managing Tariffs, Inflation, and Rising Insurance Scrutiny”. [10:33] On June 5th, Zywave joins us to discuss “Today's Escalating Risk Trajectory: What's the Cause and What's the Solution?”. [10:413] On June 17th, Origami Risk returns to present “Strategic Risk Financing in an Unstable Economy: Leveraging Technology for Efficiency and Cost Reduction”. [10:54] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/Webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [11:05] Spencer Educational Foundation's Grants program is starting soon. Spencer's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved, in part, by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [11:23] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in General Grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process is now open through July 30th, 2025. [11:43] General Grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's General Grants through the Programs tab of SpencerEd.org. [11:54] Back to the Conclusion of my Interview with Chris Maguire of Thomson Reuters!  [12:27] Chris refers to RIMScast Episode 335 with Jeff from Academy Sports. Jeff talked about how the Compliance function now sits in the General Counsel's office. At Thomson Reuters, more of the Compliance group has moved into the General Counsel's office in the last year. [12:48] The General Counsels are being charged with understanding the full weight of risk across an organization, from reputational risk to who you should or should not do business with. [13:16] The Sales organization at Thomson Reuters has discussed that a lot with the GC office, from a reputation, sanctions, and everything perspective. A lot of GC offices now include the Compliance role. [13:50] Chris's ERM philosophy is Trust. Companies need to trust who they are doing business with. Companies need to trust that their employees have what they need to make decisions not to deal with a risky customer, but to follow the laws and rules of global companies. It's trust. [14:29] There is so much change going on. Chris talks about values that resonate. One Thomson Reuters value is Act Fast, Learn Fast. You have to move and learn. Companies can help you, but it is on individuals to take the responsibility to act fast and learn fast about what is changing. [14:59] Thomson Reuters is bound by the Trust Principles. It started with Reuters in the 1940s around WWII, but it goes back to its 150 years of legal content. [15:17] The information Thomson Reuters provides its customers has to be free from bias. It has to be right. It has to be updated. It can't be an opinion about a philosophy. It has to be fact-based. It has to provide customers with the information they need to get work done. [15:36] Applying AI on top of trusted, unbiased, correct, up-to-date information is going to be vital, moving forward. Act fast, learn fast, and trust. [15:57] Chris believes the legal industry hasn't always been the fastest-moving industry. The technology is now there to allow us to move more quickly and learn more quickly. That's an exciting thing! [16:23] Chris says AI is no longer a future concept. It's here. It's transforming our lives; it's starting to transform our business environment. If you don't adapt quickly, you're going to be at a significant disadvantage. [16:36] For people in General Counsel's offices, people in compliance functions, the value is your expertise, your knowledge, and you as a human, and what you can bring to the situation. [16:48] If AI can help you get there, and give you a platform on which to add your judgment and expertise, knowledge, and professional opinion, that's a hugely valuable thing. [17:01] Thomson Reuters doesn't see AI taking away jobs. We see people who use AI, potentially taking away the jobs of people who don't use AI. It all comes back to the humans and how they use it. There's never been a time when Thomson Reuter's expertise has been more important. [17:34] Chris, it has been such a pleasure to have you here on RIMScast!

Angela Luger is an experienced and well respected FTSE 250 CEO and non-executive director but nothing could have prepared her for what happened in 2022. She'd been enjoying a dream catamaran holiday in the British Virgin Islands with her American husband Michael and two other couples when tragedy struck. The couple had been snorkelling when Michael suffered a heart attack and died despite frantic efforts to save his life. Angela described it as the ‘worst hour of my life' and a police investigation was launched as it was initially treated as an unexplained death at sea. However, she told The Holiday That Changed My Life podcast, that the tragedy made her realise she owes it to Michael and her family to continue living her best life. · Follow us on Instagram, TikTok and X @THTCMLOur hostsJen Atkinson is a veteran of the travel industry.

APRIL HUTCHINSON is a doyen of the travel industry. She's the editor and publisher of TTG Luxury and has been a journalist for 30 years. However her devotion to travel has been at tremendous personal sacrifice. She was in a trip to Antarctica when she discovered her mother had died and she couldn't get back in time to attend the funeral. Then, in 2008, on a short break to Amsterdam her husband told her he didn't love her anymore and the pair got divorced. During Covid, April's beloved cat Clio died and then she herself was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer.However April has never been defined by her personal setbacks, preferring to find her salvation in travel. In the latest episode of The Holiday That Changed My Life podcast, April recalls listening to bears in Western Canada; driving on the back of a moped through the Cambodian jungle with an anti-poaching unit; meeting the last two Northern White Rhinos in Kenya; and a (brief) trip into North Korea. · We'd love to hear about the holiday that changed your life.

Serial entrepreneur PETER HOPTON may have been successful in business but he admits his people skills left a lot to be desired. As the keen skier stood at the top of the mountain in Lake Tahoe, California, in 2019, his focus was getting to the bottom as quickly as possible. An app recorded his descent at 49mph – but then disaster struck. Peter didn't see a fast-approaching cliff and skied off the side of the mountain. He fell from the equivalent of a two-storey building and suffered horrendous injuries as he crash-landed. At one point Peter thought he was going to die – but then something amazing happened. After his brush with death Peter vowed to grab his second chance at life with both hands and become a better person and use his unique skillset to help budding entrepreneurs.

RORY O'HARE is today a high-flying partner with Primas Law but looks back on a £28 silent retreat in North Wales as the holiday that changed his life. At the time Rory was living in London and routinely punching out 13-hour days but admits he'd never felt more alone. Then he saw an advert for a £28 silent retreat in North Wales and found the answers to the questions that would change the direction of his life forever. Instead of burning the midnight oil at work he slept solidly for 36 hours and woke up with a different view of the world. Rory describes the experience on The Holiday That Changed My Life podcast as the life-changing ‘reset' that he desperately needed.

Keen skier Philip Walsh couldn't wait to celebrate his 30th birthday by going skiing in the Canadian Rockies with some friends. However ecstasy turned to tragedy as he waited to be picked up by a helicopter in one of the most beautiful places in the world after completing his ski. His instructor suddenly pointed to an avalanche in the distance after hearing a ‘woof' sound and within seconds the group was hit by a wall of snow. “It was like being hit by a wave the size of a Ford Transit doing 70mph,” he recalled. “I was tumbled over and over like a pebble being rolled by a wave against the seashore.” He was only rescued because his hand was sticking out of the snow but two of the party were trapped under the snow and tragically died. In ‘The Holiday That Changed My Life' podcast, Philip reflects on his brush with death and why he was determined not to pass on his fears to his children when they started skiing. · We'd love to hear about the holiday that changed your life.

Mariam Aslam-Digger thought she could find happiness chasing the corporate dream but found peace closer to home. The youngest of five Muslim daughters Mariam always knew she was different. In her first trip back to her parents' homeland of Pakistan she admits she acted like a spoilt teenager and the disastrous holiday ended with her being bitten by a scorpion. As she grew older, she threw herself into her career but despite enjoying the trappings of success she wasn't happy and was close to burn-out. In desperation she went back on holiday to Pakistan for a second time and found some of the answers to the questions she'd spent much of her life looking for. The slower pace of life gave her time to reflect and appreciate that her parents were a lot happier in a less materialistic world than she was in her Manchester flat. When she got back to the UK she made a series of life changes – quitting her job and setting up a new business. · We'd love to hear about the holiday that changed your life.

Emma Squire had been planning a relaxing beach walk in Sri Lanka with her family to celebrate her 20th birthday. However her excitement was rapidly replaced by blind terror as the island was hit by the devastating Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami on Boxing Day 2004 that killed 230,000 people. The waves separated her from her family and carried on her on a terrifying journey that brought her face-to-face with death. Amazingly, Emma survived and was found by her dad but she faced an agonising wait to see if her siblings and her mum had survived. In ‘The Holiday That Changed My Life' podcast, Emma reflects on how a Christmas holiday to Sri Lanka changed her approach to like forever. · We'd love to hear about the holiday that changed your life.

Sophie Brown could have been forgiven for having a few nerves when she flew to Saint Lucia on her honeymoon with her new husband, Jonathan Wileman. That's because the stars of the hit show ‘Married At First Sight' had just met each other and their every move was being followed by a TV crew. Sophie tells The Holiday That Changed My Life podcast how she appeared on the show looking for love but found herself at the centre of a bizarre experiment watched by a TV audience of millions. However, the scrutiny didn't end when the camera crews stopped filming as she found herself being targeted by cruel social media trolls over her weight. · We'd love to hear about the holiday that changed your life.

Our Chris Wynn is back this week with a man who happens to have played in an era Chris specialises in - current match summariser for the Imps at BBC Radio Lincolnshire and former Crystal Palace, Southend United and Lincoln City defender - the lovely Mark Hone! Chatting about his time as a player for a bit before delving into the current state of affairs at Sincil Bank, and ahead to Saturday's game. What's the crack? First things first - how was it coming up under Steve Coppell at Crystal Palace? Did Mark learn a lot from his time there, and does he think the modern approach to player development is largely a good thing in comparison to the old system of cleaning toilets and scrubbing boots?What sort of a career trajectory did Mark have after Palace; At a time with no agent representation and little oversight or protection for players psychologically, financially or otherwise - does he regret the decisions he made at that young age?Roker Park - When he thinks back through his time in opposition at Sunderland's legendary old ground, what memory stands out (unsurprisingly it involves the Fulwell End) and who of the managers/players he played under and alongside did he enjoy working with the most?Back to the present; Chris tries (unsuccessfully) to not mention that play-off game last season at the Stadium of Light - which Mark was in attendance for - and of course our old friend the king of sh*thousery - Chris Maguire. What are the odds on Maguire scoring again this weekend, what are the odds of him getting booked for celebrating this weekend, and why are we tempting fate talking about it?Lincoln City gaffer Michael Appleton has been having a bit of a nightmare of it this season; what exactly has happened - following almost gaining promotion last year - to see the Imps struggling to get 8 points clear of the relegation zone? Are the fans understandably frustrated or did they see this coming?Who are the players to watch this weekend... besides Chris Maguire... and who, if anyone, is standing out at Sincil Bank this season?How is Appleton setting up at home, and what sort of threat should we expect as well as the overall style of play? Is this dependent on which Lincoln side turns up, as much as which Sunlun side makes an appearance?All this and much more!

Ugly wins are still wins, no matter how you look at it. And that's been Sunderland's last fortnight in a nutshell - but who ever said getting out of this division is pretty?

Even if you've never personally bought anything from Etsy, you surely know it's a marketplace for crafters and homemade goods. The company is so large, it's basically become synonymous with the industry it supports. If you want something homemade, custom, and unique, you don't go to Amazon or Walmart. You go to Etsy.com.Considering the enormous success of Etsy as a marketplace for crafters, you might assume it was built by people who were passionate about crafting. At the very least, you'd expect them to have a passing interest. But that's actually not the case.As Chris Maguire, one of the co-founders of Etsy explains in this episode of Web Masters, he and his team weren't passionate about crafting. However, they were passionate about helping people solve problems using software, and that's exactly what they did. The result was a multi-billion-dollar, publicly traded company that's changed the way people around the world shop for homemade goods.For a complete transcript of the episode, click here.

Since then, Dinesh has become one of the most accomplished, recognised and admired figures in Australian medicine.  Dinesh lost the use of his lower body, and a large degree of function in his arms and hands. It was the beginning of a new phase of life, one that would be filled with extraordinary challenge and struggle. A phase of life that demanded resilience on a scale few of us can imagine. On this week's episode of The Risk Equation, Dr Chris Maguire explores how Dinesh recovered from the accident and began to face the realities of life through a trip to Sri Lanka, what prejudices he faced upon his return to medical school, and the amazing new innovation in the science and treatment of spinal cord injuries in recent clinical trials.   In 2020, Dinesh has been nominated as Australian of the Year,, he's a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia for service in Medicine, and was the 2019 Junior Doctor of the Year at Gold Coast University Hospital.

The Global Financial Crisis shattered the economic system. It destroyed communities, lives, businesses and governments, and the effects are still being felt, even today.  The result and fallout of the largest global recession since the 1930s was left to governments, ministers and leaders, with some of the biggest decisions the modern world had ever faced needing to be made.  The person making those decisions for the Australian people, was then Treasurer Wayne Swan.  Wayne served as Treasurer for the Rudd Government from 2007 to 2010, and continued his role, whilst also serving as Deputy Prime Minister under Julia Gillard til 2013.  On this week's episode of The Risk Equation, Dr Chris Maguire explores how Wayne made the decisions he did, who gave him the economic guidance to organise and distribute the second biggest stimulus package in the world, and what made the pressures and stresses of the media and the opposition bearable and manageable.  Follow the show on Instagram:  @theriskequationpodcast Follow Chris:  https://linktr.ee/chris_r_maguire Thanks to Altdrop for sponsoring this week's episode of The Risk Equation and for helping support a charity of our guest's choosing.

An integral part of one of Australia's greatest ever sporting moments - yet four years prior, Olympic Gold Medalist Bill Kirby was close to quitting the sport, and potentially ending his life.  At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Bill Kirby was the fourth and final swimmer in Australia's historic 4x200m freestyle relay victory, setting a new world record and kickstarting a golden era of Australian swimming. Yet as Bill was walking along the pool deck before that final, hearing the screams of adoration from more than 18,000 people, he was shell shocked and frozen, and was forced to sit, meditate and revisit the moments during his retirement from swimming.    On this week's episode of The Risk Equation, Dr Chris Maguire talks to Bill about his incredible career and how his incomparable will, determination and grit, allowed him to come back from the darkest moments an athlete can face, to make history and build the culture and environment of Australian swimming, that 20 years later, would not exist without him.  Don Talbot, the culturally defining coach that led Bill and his teammates to gold in Sydney, sadly passed on November 3rd, 2020. This week's episode was recorded before Don's passing, in late October.  Everyone at The Risk Equation Podcast, including Chris and those behind the scenes extend our condolences to the Talbot family and to those lucky enough to know him well.  Follow the show on Instagram:  @theriskequationpodcast Follow Chris:  https://linktr.ee/chris_r_maguire Thanks to Altdrop for sponsoring this week's episode of The Risk Equation.

200ft to 50ft, to scraping raging waters in order to rescue a stranded sailor is just one example of how Navy helicopter pilots are some of the most skilled and courageous members of our military.  Natalee Johnston was one of those incredible pilots. Joining the Navy in the late 1990s, Natalee was an historically excellent pilot, and was part of the renowned 817 Sea King squadron. After earning her wings and becoming a certified pilot, Natalee made history in the Royal Australian Navy, becoming the organisation's first female helicopter pilot. Her efforts led the way for other aspiring pilots, both men and women, in pursuing their goals.  On this week's episode of The Risk Equation, Dr Chris Maguire talks with Natalee about her incredible career, the challenges she faced both in and out of the cockpit, and how she revolutionised helicopter safety procedure culture in the Australian Navy.  Special thanks to Natalee for joining us this week, to learn more about her story and to get in touch with her, visit: https://assimilatedsafety.com/ Follow Chris: https://linktr.ee/chris_r_maguire Follow the show:  instagram.com/theriskequationpodcast Thanks to Altdrop for sponsoring this week's episode of The Risk Equation.

One of the world's next cricketing stars. Tasked with playing a part in the future of Australia's most prestigious team, Will Pucovski is expected by many to take the torch from the most recent generation and help lift the country back to its former, and nationally assumed position as the best team in the world.  Compared to Ricky Ponting, Justin Langer and either Waugh brother - expectations are high for what Will, at just 22, should accomplish in a baggy green cap.  But as of October 2020, Will is yet to represent Australia. In fact, on two occasions, Will has stepped aside, forfeiting his potential selection, opting to prioritize his mental health and wellbeing - delaying his encroaching Australian debut. Dr Chris Maguire talks to Will about his life up until this point, his troubles with concussion, his continued advocacy for the normalization of mental health discussion and how he's dealing with the harshness of the Australian sports media.  Thanks to Altdrop for sponsoring this week's episode of The Risk Equation.
