Take Marshgate, for example. It is one of the oldest cities in Erm, growing out of an ancient trading hub that existed between the people of the Forest that used to be and the denizens of the Quagmash. It was one of the first cities to see the true terror the Gloom Kings forces. The fallout of that major attack,and the disappearance of the forest, has put Marshgate on hard times. It's people, however,are a hardy lot. Always been. Always will be.

Unsere Podcast-Empfehlung: Gerechtigkeit & LoseblattBei: Apple Podcast WebsiteWas ist Gerechtigkeit und Loseblatt? Im wöchentlichen Podcast Gerechtigkeit & Loseblatt – Die Woche im Recht besprechen Beck-aktuell-Chefredakteurin Pia Lorenz, Strategieberater und Kolumnist Dr. Hendrik Wieduwilt und Beck-aktuell-Redakteur Dr. Maximilian Amos, was diese Woche wichtig war in Recht, Rechtspolitik, Rechtsmarkt und Justiz. Folgenbeschreibung:In dieser Folge tauchen wir tiefer in das pflichtgemäße Ermessen nach § 40 VwVfG ein – die Grundnorm für jede verwaltungsrechtliche Klausur mit Kann-, Soll- oder Muss-Vorschriften.Zunächst wird die gebundene Verwaltung (ist/muss-Vorschriften, keine Anwendung des § 40 VwVfG) von echten Ermessensnormen abgegrenzt. Dazwischen liegt das intendierte Ermessen: Bei Soll-Vorschriften ist der Regelfall gebunden, nur in atypischen Fällen eröffnet sich Entscheidungsfreiheit. Atypisch sind insbesondere Fälle, die zwar vom Wortlaut, nicht aber vom Zweck der Norm erfasst werden (z. B. Missbrauchsfälle) – die Voraussetzungen eines atypischen Falls unterliegen voller gerichtlicher Kontrolle. Intendiertes Ermessen ist die vom BVerwG entwickelte Obergruppe, zu der die Soll-Vorschriften zählen; es lässt sich nicht immer am Wortlaut ablesen, sondern muss durch Auslegung ermittelt werden – ein Indiz ist ein regelbeispielhafter Normaufbau.Für die Kann-Vorschrift als Normalfall im Polizeirecht wird sodann der Verstoß gegen § 40 VwVfG geprüft. Dieser kann auf zwei Wegen vorliegen: Verfehlung des Ermessenszwecks oder Nichteinhaltung der gesetzlichen Grenzen. Im Fokus dieser Folge steht der Ermessensfehlgebrauch (Ermessensmissbrauch): Die Behörde bleibt zwar im Rahmen der Ermächtigungsnorm, übt ihr Ermessen aber aus sachfremden Gründen aus (z. B. Strafgründe bei Gefahrenabwehrmaßnahmen, Schikane). Der Ermessenszweck wird dabei vor allem systematisch ausgelegt.Die gesetzlichen Grenzen des Ermessens folgen in ÖR151.Support the show

I used to think a great ERM program just meant strict discipline. Now I know the best CROs have an ERM playbook with multiple sets of plays and sometimes they are calling audibles, changing the ERM play at the last moment.  Most companies run their business using a single ERM playbook—until a crisis hits. Today we address 6 distinct "time zones" and explain how you actually need different playbooks for each.

In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit unserem geschätzen Kollegen Thomas Sendke, profunder Kenner des EU-Rechts, über den seit letzter Woche kursierenden ersten Entwurf der EU-Kommission für einen EU-Omnibus zur Änderung verschiedener Richtlinien (Zins- und Lizenzgebührenrichtlinie, Fusionsrichtlinie, Mutter-Tochter-Richtlinie, ATAD, Streitbeilegungsrichtlinie, FASTER-Richtlinie). Das Papier wird nächste Woche veröffentlicht. Nach über zehn Jahren, in denen die EU-Rechtsakte im Zeichen der Missbrauchsvermeidung die Komplexität des Steuerrechts immer weiter erhöht haben, kommt nun erstmals ein Vorschlag zum „Decluttering“, also zur Vereinfachung und Stärkung des Binnenmarkts. Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der EU als Wirtschaftsstandort gerät endlich wieder stärker in den Blick. Bemerkenswert ist, wie deutlich die Kommission den Handlungsdruck adressiert und umsetzt, insbesondere nach der umgekehrten Stoßrichtung der vergangenen Jahre. Unter drei denkbaren Optionen hat die Kommission das ambitionierteste Programm gewählt. Alles hat seine Zeit, so ist der ehrliche Zwischenton. Abzuwarten bleibt, ob auch die Mitgliedstaaten zur Umsetzung bereit sind. Die vorgeschlagenen Änderungen sind weitreichend: Verzicht auf jegliche Mindestbeteiligungsverhältnissen in der Zins- und Lizenzgebührenrichtlinie sowie in der Mutter-Tochter-Richtlinie. Das hat auch innerstaatliche Konsequenzen, ist doch der § 8b Abs. 4 KStG nicht mehr haltbar. Auch die immer wieder sachte auflodernde Diskussion um die Einführung einer Mindestbeteiligung für § 8b Abs. 2 KStG wird unwahrscheinlicher. Die aus manchen Mitgliedstaaten bekannte ex ante Kontrolle der Voraussetzungen einer Ermäßigung wird abgeschafft; möglicherweise können Quellensteuereinbehalte häufiger entfallen. Auch in der ATAD wird einiges geändert: Die Zinsschranke erlebt einen Paradigmenwechsel, es wird erstmals ein europaweit verbindlicher Rahmen für die Förderung von F&E Aufwendungen gesetzt und in der Hinzurechnungsbesteuerung sind Erleichterungen vorgesehen, die sich aus der Einführung der Mindestbesteuerung ergeben. Die kaum verständliche Missbrauchsvermeidungsregel um importierte Besteuerungsinkongruenzen wird abgeschafft. In der Fusionsrichtlinie werden weitere Umwandlungsformen erfasst und u.a. auch der identitätswahrende Formwechsel mit Satzungssitzverlegung. Und auch in der Streitbeilegungsrichtlinie werden verschiedene Maßnahmen vorgeschlagen, um entsprechende Verfahren zu beschleunigen und zu vereinfachen. Wermutstropfen ist allein die lange Umsetzungsfrist, insbesondere für die Quellensteuerermäßigungen. Wir wünschen den Mitgliedstaaten die Kraft, den vorliegenden Entwurf umzusetzen und nicht auf eine weniger ambitionierte Version zurückzufallen. Viel Spaß beim Hören! Folge direkt herunterladen

Geschätzte Lesedauer: 14 Minuten Was unterscheidet einen deutschen Vertriebsingenieur von einem amerikanischen Sales-Profi – und was kann der deutsche Mittelstand aus fast zwei Jahrzehnten internationalem B2B-Vertrieb lernen? Genau darum geht es in dieser Folge. Mein Gast Olaf Detlef hat acht Jahre in Shanghai verbracht, dann elf Jahre in den USA – und ist seit Anfang 2025 zurück in Deutschland. Als Geschäftsführer von Kendrion Industrial Brakes bringt er Erfahrungen mit, die kaum jemand im deutschsprachigen Mittelstand so gesammelt hat. Und ich sage dir: Es lohnt sich, genau hinzuhören. Internationaler B2B Vertrieb: Drei Kontinente, drei Lektionen Olaf ist kein Vertriebstheoretiker. Er hat als junger Vertriebler den Finger gehoben, als sein damaliger Arbeitgeber – ein Mittelständler mit 300 Mitarbeitern – einen Aufbau in China suchte. Kein Netzwerk, keine China-Erfahrung und außerdem keine Sprachkenntnisse. Aber er war der Einzige, der sich gemeldet hat. Folglich wurden aus geplanten drei Jahren acht. Danach folgte Amerika – auch dort sollte es drei Jahre werden, doch es wurden elf. Wer in zwei Märkten, die kaum unterschiedlicher sein könnten, erfolgreich Vertrieb aufgebaut hat, der sieht danach das Geschäft in Deutschland mit ganz anderen Augen. Was Olaf mitgebracht hat, ist kein Handbuch. Es ist ein Mindset – und eine Menge konkreter Beobachtungen, die direkt auf den deutschen Mittelstand übertragbar sind. Lass uns die wichtigsten durchgehen. China: Zustimmung im Meeting ist keine Zustimmung im System Die erste große Lektion aus dem internationalen B2B Vertrieb kommt aus Shanghai. Olaf hatte ein vielversprechendes Projekt im Bereich Windkraft. Die Meetings liefen gut, die Stimmung war positiv, der CFO war dabei. Beim anschließenden Abendessen fehlte dieser plötzlich. Und am Ende wurde nicht das komplette System bestellt – sondern nur eine Komponente. Was war passiert? Olaf hatte die Zustimmung im Meeting mit einer echten Entscheidung verwechselt. In China läuft vieles über Gesichtswahrung. Ein „Ja" im Gespräch bedeutet oft nicht mehr als: Ich möchte dich nicht in Verlegenheit bringen. Die eigentlichen Entscheider sitzen im Hintergrund – die sogenannte unbekannte Einkäufergruppe. Und die hat niemand auf dem Schirm gehabt. Das klingt zunächst wie ein China-spezifisches Problem. Tatsächlich ist es das aber nicht. Denn genau dasselbe passiert täglich in deutschen Vertriebsgesprächen. Der Kunde sagt: „Schick mir mal ein Angebot." Daraufhin denkt der Verkäufer: Auftrag in Sicht. Was der Kunde gemeint hat: Ich habe keine Zeit mehr für dieses Gespräch. Der Unterschied ist also nur, dass in Deutschland niemand so höflich ist, es nicht zu sagen – und dass in China niemand so direkt ist, es auszusprechen. „Eine Zustimmung im Meeting bedeutet noch lange keine Zustimmung im System." – Olaf Detlef Stakeholder-Management: Der Spaghetti-Ball, den du verstehen musst Eine der wertvollsten Erkenntnisse aus dem internationalen B2B Vertrieb – und gleichzeitig eine, die im deutschen Mittelstand noch viel zu selten gelebt wird – ist das konsequente Stakeholder-Mapping. Olaf beschreibt, wie sein Team eine Kundenorganisation aufgezeichnet hat und am Ende vor einem Bild stand, das aussah wie ein Spaghetti-Ball. Verwirrend. Undurchsichtig. Kaum zu entwirren. Die entscheidende Frage dabei: Wer muss diesen Spaghetti-Ball eigentlich verstehen? Der Kunde selbst? Meistens weiß der nicht mal genau, wer bei ihm intern alles mitentscheidet. Es ist unsere Aufgabe als Vertrieb, das herauszufinden – und zwar bevor wir in den ersten echten Discovery Call gehen. Ein konkretes Beispiel: Olaf hatte ein Projekt, das praktisch abgeschlossen war. Doch kurz vor Projektabschluss meldete sich plötzlich der Produktionsleiter – den niemand auf dem Schirm hatte, nicht einmal der Kunde selbst. Sein Urteil: So geht das nicht. Folglich kam es zu über einem Jahr Verzögerung. Mein Tipp dazu, den ich auch in Workshops immer wieder bringe: Mach eine Stakeholder-Map. Wie in einem Tatort-Krimi – Fotos an die Wand, Fäden ziehen, fragen: Wen kennen wir noch gar nicht? Wer könnte noch mitentscheiden? Wo fehlen uns Informationen? Tools wie LinkedIn Sales Navigator helfen dabei, Entscheidungsstrukturen zu recherchieren – und gezielt Fragen zu stellen, die den richtigen Ansprechpartner ins Spiel bringen. So baust du deine Stakeholder-Map auf So erstellst du eine Stakeholder-Map für komplexe B2B-Deals Bekannte Kontakte auflisten Notiere alle Personen, mit denen du bereits Kontakt hattest – Name, Rolle, Abteilung. Entscheidungsstruktur recherchieren Nutze LinkedIn Sales Navigator, um herauszufinden, wer an wen berichtet und welche Rollen noch relevant sein könnten. Weiße Flecken markieren Wo fehlen Kontakte? Einkauf, Produktion, Qualität, Geschäftsführung – welche Ebenen hast du noch nicht erreicht? Gezielte Fragen im nächsten Gespräch stellen Frag deinen Ansprechpartner aktiv: „Sollten wir auch Herrn Müller aus der Qualitätssicherung einbeziehen?" – so eröffnest du Türen, ohne aufdringlich zu wirken. Map laufend aktualisieren Stakeholder-Maps sind keine einmalige Übung. Aktualisiere sie mit jeder neuen Information aus Gesprächen, E-Mails und Recherchen. Vom Problem hinter dem Problem: Was chinesische Verhandlungsstrategien uns lehren Olaf hatte in China das Glück, einen Mentor zu finden – einen Deutschen, der in Aachen studiert hatte, fließend Deutsch sprach und beide Kulturen wirklich kannte. Dieser Mentor machte ihn auf eine alte chinesische Verhandlungsstrategie aufmerksam, die heute noch im internationalen B2B Vertrieb angewendet wird: das Feuer vom Kochtopf entziehen. Gemeint ist: Das Wasser kocht – aber du musst nicht das Wasser abkühlen, du musst die Flamme wegnehmen. Übertragen auf den Vertrieb: Was ist wirklich die Ursache des Problems? Was will der Kunde wirklich erreichen? Will er Preisführer werden? Nach Europa exportieren? Netzwerk aufbauen? Die Symptome sind sichtbar – die eigentlichen Ursachen liegen tiefer. Das ist im Grunde das, was ich immer als „Problem hinter dem Problem" bezeichne. Ein Kunde sagt, er braucht eine neue Industriebremse. Okay. Aber warum? Was läuft mit dem aktuellen Lieferanten nicht? Welche Herausforderungen hat er? Und wenn er sagt, er ist mit dem aktuellen Lieferanten super zufrieden – was steckt dann wirklich dahinter? Genau hier liegt der Unterschied zwischen einem Vertriebsingenieur, der Features erklärt, und einem Verkäufer, der wirklich versteht, was der Kunde braucht. Amerika: Geschwindigkeit, Klarheit und der erste Call entscheidet alles Nach acht Jahren China kam für Olaf Amerika. Und der Kulturschock war in gewisser Weise noch größer – weil man glaubt, Amerika zu kennen. Tut man aber nicht. Die USA haben Olaf gelehrt: Im internationalen B2B Vertrieb zählt Geschwindigkeit. Amerikanische Kunden wollen früh wissen, ob eine Lösung grundsätzlich passt. Kein vollständiges Konzept, keine fertige Zeichnung – eine Skizze und eine grobe Preiseinschätzung reichen für einen ersten Orientierungspunkt. Während ein deutscher Ingenieur sagt „Das kann man nicht schätzen, das müssen wir genau berechnen", antwortet der amerikanische Einkäufer innerlich bereits: „Nächster Bitte." Noch entscheidender: In den USA gilt – wenn der erste Call nicht sitzt, bist du raus. Nicht etwa nach dem zweiten oder dritten Gespräch, sondern bereits nach dem ersten. Keine zweite Chance, kein Wiederanlauf. Das klingt zwar hart, bringt aber eine wichtige Konsequenz mit sich: Der Discovery Call muss so vorbereitet sein wie eine Präsentation vor dem Vorstand. Dazu kommt: Eine freundliche Gesprächsatmosphäre in den USA bedeutet keine Verbindlichkeit. Amerikaner sind von Natur aus freundlich und offen – das ist kulturell bedingt, aber kein Kaufsignal. Olaf hat das selbst schmerzhaft erlebt: Ein Meeting verlief bestens, er war am Ende überzeugend, aber er hatte das eigentliche Signal – es geht auch um einen Preisvorteil – überhört. Danach kam nichts mehr. Der Discovery Call: Das wichtigste Meeting im internationalen B2B Vertrieb Was Olaf aus Amerika mitgenommen hat und jetzt in Deutschland umsetzt, ist eine neue Ernsthaftigkeit gegenüber dem Discovery Call. Früher, als man sich noch persönlich getroffen hat, gab es ein Warm-up, ein paar Minuten Smalltalk, man konnte die Körpersprache des Gegenübers lesen. Heute hat man 30 bis 45 Minuten – manchmal mit Kameras aus, manchmal kommen kurzfristig unbekannte Teilnehmer dazu. Und in dieser Zeit soll man sich vorstellen, den Kunden verstehen, seinen Nutzen zeigen und die nächsten Schritte klären. Das ist kein Meeting mehr – das ist ein Sprint. Und wer unvorbereitet reingeht, verliert. Cross-funktionale Teams statt Einzelkämpfer Olafs Ansatz: Cross-funktionale Teams für wichtige Discovery Calls. Nicht einer geht alleine rein, sondern zwei bis drei Personen mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten. Ein Techniker, ein Kaufmann und außerdem jemand, der gut zuhört und nachfragt. Das hat mehrere Vorteile: Zum einen kannst du das Playbook wechseln, wenn sich herausstellt, dass auf der anderen Seite plötzlich ein CFO statt eines Ingenieurs sitzt. Zum anderen zeigst du Kompetenz durch Professionalität. Und schließlich kannst du auf fast jede Frage sofort antworten. Dazu hat Olaf bei Kendrion ein Setup gebaut, das einem kleinen Nachrichtenstudio ähnelt: mehrere Kameras, professionelle Beleuchtung, ein Setup, das Professionalität ausstrahlt. Im klassischen Maschinenbau ist das noch die Ausnahme – genau deshalb fällt es auf. Und genau deshalb funktioniert es. Deutschland: Ingenieure im Vertrieb – Stärke und Schwäche zugleich Seit Anfang 2025 ist Olaf wieder in Deutschland. Und was er sieht, klingt vertraut – vielleicht zu vertraut. Deutsche Vertriebsingenieure sind tief in der Technik. Sie können erklären, wie ein Produkt funktioniert, welche Toleranzen es hat, welche Zulassungen vorliegen. Das ist ein echtes Asset. Aber es ist eben auch eine Falle. Denn während der deutsche Vertriebsingenieur noch erklärt, hat der amerikanische Einkäufer schon innerlich aufgehört zuzuhören. Olaf beschreibt das sehr treffend: In China waren deutsche Ingenieure noch bewundert – die Präzision, die Tiefe, das Fachwissen haben Eindruck gemacht. In Amerika hat er manchmal erlebt, wie die Augen seiner Gesprächspartner schon an die Decke wanderten. Die Botschaft: Komm auf den Punkt. Das bedeutet allerdings nicht, dass Fachwissen wertlos ist. Im Gegenteil. Aber es muss in den Dienst des Kunden gestellt werden, anstatt als Selbstzweck präsentiert zu werden. Denn der Kunde will nicht wissen, wie eine Industriebremse funktioniert. Vielmehr will er wissen, was sie für sein konkretes Problem bedeutet. Der informierte Kunde: 60 bis 80 Prozent des Kaufprozesses sind bereits gelaufen Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt aus der Praxis des internationalen B2B Vertriebs: Der Kunde kommt heute nicht mehr unwissend ins Gespräch. Er hat recherchiert, er hat 3D-Zeichnungen heruntergeladen und außerdem Wettbewerber verglichen – vielleicht hat er sogar schon fünf Pitches gehört. Folglich weiß er in vielen Fällen mehr als mancher Vertriebsmitarbeiter, zumindest über die Marktoptionen. Was bedeutet das für den Vertrieb? Olaf bringt es auf den Punkt: Eine Company-Presentation zu zeigen ist heute irrelevant. Der Einstieg in ein Gespräch über die eigene Geschichte, die eigenen Awards und die eigene Unternehmensphilosophie kostet wertvolle Minuten – und die hat man nicht mehr. Was der Kunde wirklich braucht: Jemanden, der die vielen Informationen, die er bereits hat, in eine sinnvolle Reihenfolge bringt. Der sagt: Das ist zwar interessant, aber das brauchst du eigentlich nicht – weil dieses und jenes dein Problem bereits löst. Das ist echter Kundennutzen. Das ist der Moment, in dem ein Discovery Call nicht endet mit „Danke, wir melden uns" – sondern mit „Das war wirklich hilfreich." Marketing und Vertrieb: Gemeinsam oder gar nicht Wer im internationalen B2B Vertrieb Leads generieren will, kann sich nicht mehr leisten, Marketing und Vertrieb als getrennte Welten zu behandeln. Olaf setzt das konsequent um: Marketing sitzt bei Strategie-Meetings dabei, ist verpflichtet, Content zu liefern, der den Kunden bereits vor dem ersten Kontakt informiert und qualifiziert. Denn wenn 60 bis 80 Prozent der Kaufentscheidung bereits gefallen sind, bevor der Vertrieb ins Spiel kommt, dann muss Marketing diese Phase aktiv gestalten – nicht nur hübsche Broschüren produzieren. Das bedeutet konkret: technische Inhalte, die echte Fragen beantworten. Dazu Case Studies, die zeigen, wie das Problem tatsächlich gelöst wurde. Außerdem 3D-Zeichnungen, die der Kunde direkt verwenden kann. Und schließlich eine Website, die nicht über das Unternehmen redet, sondern über den Kunden und seine Herausforderungen. Mindset-Change statt Training: Der Challenger-Club als Modell Wie überträgt man all diese Erkenntnisse aus dem internationalen B2B Vertrieb auf ein deutsches Team? Olaf hat bei Kendrion einen Weg gewählt, den ich wirklich spannend finde: keinen Frontalunterricht, kein externes Training, das nach zwei Tagen vergessen ist. Stattdessen: einen Club. Erst gab es eine Verhandlungsgruppe – ein freiwilliger Zusammenschluss, der Vertrieblern hilft, schwierige Verhandlungen zu meistern. Das Format: Man liest Bücher, trifft sich, diskutiert – und hilft anderen in der Gruppe mit echten, laufenden Verhandlungen. Als Olaf den Zugang begrenzte und Bewerbungen verlangte, war der Club innerhalb von 24 Stunden ausgebucht. Dieses Prinzip hat er auf den Challenger-Sale-Ansatz übertragen. Eine gemischte Gruppe – Vertrieb, Konstruktion, Logistik – arbeitet gemeinsam daran, echte Fälle zu analysieren und Playbooks für unterschiedliche Stakeholder-Konstellationen zu entwickeln. Kein Lehrbuch, gelebte Praxis. Und der Sog-Effekt funktioniert: Andere Mitarbeiter fragen inzwischen, warum sie nicht dabei sein dürfen. Warum der Chef selbst mitmachen muss Das Wichtigste dabei: Olaf macht selbst mit. Denn er ist nicht der Chef, der von oben anordnet. Vielmehr ist er ein Teil des Teams – angreifbar, offen für Fragen und außerdem bereit zuzugeben, dass er selbst nicht immer alle Antworten hat. Genau dieser Führungsstil ist es, der echten Wandel überhaupt erst möglich macht. „Erst verstehen, dann verstanden werden." – Olaf Detlef KI im internationalen B2B Vertrieb: Noch am Anfang, aber unverzichtbar Auch das Thema KI kommt nicht zu kurz. Bei Kendrion ist man gerade dabei, die richtigen Tools auszuwählen – Enterprise-Versionen, die datenschutzkonform in einem börsennotierten Unternehmen eingesetzt werden können. Ein konkretes Problem, das gelöst werden soll: Informationen wiederfinden. Was früher auf dem Server lag, dann in Teams, dann im SharePoint, dann in der Cloud – und was jetzt niemand mehr findet, wenn ein Kunde fünf Jahre später auf eine damalige Vereinbarung verweist. Parallel läuft der Wechsel aller CRM-Systeme auf SAP Cloud for Customer – mit allen Schmerzen einer Übergangsphase, in der man gleichzeitig das alte System herunterfährt und das neue aufbaut. Das kostet Kraft. Aber wer diese Phase nicht konsequent durchzieht, hat danach keine belastbare Datenbasis – und ohne Datenbasis kein vernünftiger Vertrieb. Der Vertriebsleiter als Ermöglicher, nicht als Aufpasser Einer der wichtigsten Punkte, die Olaf mitbringt, ist sein Führungsverständnis. Ein guter Vertriebsleiter im internationalen B2B Vertrieb – oder auch im rein deutschen Markt – ist kein Händchenhalter und kein Kontrolleur. Vielmehr ist er derjenige, der seine Leute befähigt. Er findet heraus, was im Werkzeugkasten fehlt, und ist bei wichtigen Calls dabei – nicht um zu übernehmen, sondern um zu unterstützen. Außerdem steht er bei schwierigen Situationen als Gesprächspartner zur Verfügung, ohne gleich eine fertige Lösung zu diktieren. Empathieverständnis ist dabei das Schlüsselwort. Wer an der Basis versteht, welchen Druck die Vertriebsmitarbeiter haben – und diesen Druck wirklich ernst nimmt, anstatt ihn weiterzugeben –, schafft ein Klima, in dem Menschen wachsen wollen. Und das ist am Ende das, was Unternehmen langfristig besser macht. Key Takeaways: Was du aus dem internationalen B2B Vertrieb mitnehmen kannst Zustimmung im Gespräch ist kein Kaufsignal – weder in China noch in Deutschland. Hinterfrage immer, welche Stakeholder noch involviert sind. Kenne deine unbekannte Einkäufergruppe – erstelle vor jedem wichtigen Deal eine Stakeholder-Map und mache weiße Flecken sichtbar. Suche das Problem hinter dem Problem – der Kunde nennt dir ein Symptom. Deine Aufgabe ist es, die eigentliche Ursache zu verstehen. Der Discovery Call entscheidet alles – bereite ihn so vor wie ein Vorstandspräsentation. In 30 bis 45 Minuten musst du liefern. Fachwissen ist kein Selbstzweck – stelle dein Wissen in den Dienst des Kunden, nicht in den Dienst deiner eigenen Präsentation. Marketing gehört in den Vertriebsprozess – nicht davor, nicht daneben, sondern mittendrin. Kulturwandel funktioniert nicht per Anweisung – schaffe Sog, nicht Druck. Mach selbst mit. Häufige Fragen zum internationalen B2B Vertrieb (FAQ) Was ist der größte Unterschied zwischen amerikanischem und deutschem B2B Vertrieb? Der größte Unterschied liegt in der Geschwindigkeit und Direktheit. Amerikanische Kunden wollen früh eine grobe Einschätzung – Skizze und Preisgefühl reichen als ersten Orientierungspunkt. Deutsche Ingenieure neigen dazu, erst vollständige Konzepte zu erstellen, bevor sie antworten. Dazu kommt: In den USA entscheidet der erste Call. Wer dort nicht überzeugt, bekommt keine zweite Chance. Was ist die unbekannte Einkäufergruppe im B2B Vertrieb? Die unbekannte Einkäufergruppe bezeichnet alle Stakeholder, die Einfluss auf eine Kaufentscheidung haben, aber im Verlauf des Vertriebsprozesses nicht sichtbar sind. Das können Produktionsleiter, Qualitätsverantwortliche, CFOs oder andere interne Entscheider sein, die im Hintergrund agieren und eine Entscheidung kippen können – auch wenn alle sichtbaren Gesprächspartner bereits zugestimmt haben. Discovery Call, Kultur und Führung – die wichtigsten Praxisfragen Wie bereite ich einen Discovery Call im internationalen B2B Vertrieb richtig vor? Recherchiere vorab alle bekannten Stakeholder, erstelle eine Stakeholder-Map und identifiziere weiße Flecken. Plane, was du in 30 bis 45 Minuten wirklich erreichen willst. Definiere, welche Informationen du brauchst – und welche Fragen dich dorthin führen. Überlege, welche Mitarbeiter mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten du mitbringen kannst, um flexibel auf verschiedene Gesprächspartner reagieren zu können. Warum ist Kulturkompetenz im internationalen B2B Vertrieb so wichtig? Weil Kaufsignale, Kommunikationsstile und Entscheidungsprozesse in verschiedenen Kulturen völlig unterschiedlich funktionieren. Was in Deutschland als Zustimmung gilt, kann in China höfliche Zurückhaltung bedeuten. Was in Amerika als freundlich wahrgenommen wird, ist nicht zwangsläufig Verbindlichkeit. Wer diese Unterschiede nicht kennt, interpretiert Signale falsch – und verliert Deals, ohne zu verstehen, warum. Wie kann ich als Vertriebsleiter im Mittelstand eine echte Veränderungskultur aufbauen? Nicht durch Anordnung, sondern durch Vorbildwirkung und Sog. Mach selbst mit – sei angreifbar, gib zu, wenn du etwas nicht weißt, und zeige deinem Team, dass du Teil der Veränderung bist und nicht ihr Auftraggeber. Begrenze den Zugang zu neuen Formaten und Gruppen, um natürliche Neugierde zu wecken. Und: Schaffe ein Klima ohne Angst, damit echte Fragen gestellt werden können. Fazit: Internationaler B2B Vertrieb als Spiegel für den deutschen Mittelstand Was ich an diesem Gespräch mit Olaf so wertvoll finde: Er spricht nicht über Theorie. Er spricht über das, was er selbst falsch gemacht hat, daraus gelernt hat – und was er jetzt anders macht. Und die meisten dieser Lektionen haben nichts mit China oder Amerika zu tun. Sie haben mit gutem Vertrieb zu tun: mit Vorbereitung, mit echtem Zuhören und außerdem mit dem Mut, Dinge zu hinterfragen, auch wenn die Antwort unbequem ist. Der internationale B2B Vertrieb hält einen Spiegel vor den deutschen Mittelstand. Und was wir darin sehen, sollte uns antreiben – nicht entmutigen. Denn die Grundlagen sind da. Das Fachwissen, die Ingenieurskultur, die Qualität der Produkte – das ist alles vorhanden. Was fehlt, sind die richtigen Fragen, das richtige Timing und die Bereitschaft, sich zu verändern.

Greetings and welcomeHope all is well out there.This week is chapter 5 of Way of the Kip. Chapter belowI was away last week so no podcast. My latest rap EP - More 64s of Boredom is out for stream / download pretty much everywhere. Links belowHave a great weekendPaulBANDCAMPSPOTIFTYAPPLEhttps://music.apple.com/gb/album/more-64s-of-boreddom-ep/6772325154QOBUZhttps://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/more-64s-of-boreddom-paul-cree/db5vajegkhjwmAMAZONhttps://music.amazon.co.uk/albums/B0H2NL275KYOUTUBECHAPTER 5 – Way of the KipNo matter how mellow the alarm sound I selected, it's like the blower had grown go-go-gadget arms during the night; and with every polyphonic note the phone made, it jabbed at my eardrums with brass knuckles.Made a blind grab for the phone, grappling for the off-button; dropping the thing on the floor. Quick inhale then swung my legs out the side of the bed, felt the cold on my shins. Slowly sat up, half opened my eyes and stared at my old red football shorts; covering my thighs. The M was missing from the name. U BRO. Another breath then acknowledged the waking pain of the day. Routine, but this one hit harder. The feeling that I'd only just got to sleep five minutes before was normal; this time it came gift-wrapped with something extra that I couldn't yet identify.The thread had come loose along the right side of my shorts and the red colour had long since faded; reminding me when my first goldfish (Mgoldrik) slowly stopped being gold and faded out like a photograph, till he got the final flush to the hallowed burial grounds of the New Town sewage treatment.I'd had those shorts for a good ten years. Well, ten years, don't know if it was all that good. Ten years back was probably the last time I had a kick-about. I reckoned I could still thread a pass, tho.The phone bleeted again. Picked it up and switched it off. Next to the blower was the tissue. Of course. I heard a chuckle over my left shoulder; my neck slowly turned towards it.October's Frank Lampard was grinning, while making a hand gesture, mimicking the one I would've made probably about three hours before. Underneath him sat that sedate sandalwood candle. Sandalwood, the scent of failure.‘You mug. You think it's that easy? Pull the other one, son.'And there it was. The bow on the present. Frank was right. I'd convinced myself just one simple purchase from Tesco was going to solve all my sleep problems. Mug. Why was it always like this anytime I tried to do something to improve my life?I'd hit sombre season; just didn't see it coming, I should've. The life-cycle of idea, obsession, rushed execution, disappointment, embarrassment, guilt and finally numbness was complete. It was ever thus. Perfected this little routine sometime back in school. A sigh this time. I slowly stood up, closed my eyes, breathed again, opened my eyes; then cracked on to the bathroom.The walk to Streatham Hill station was slow. I tried to rationalise the whole candle caper; it's not like I'd done something super-shameful, yet I felt similar to how I would, had I downed six post-work pints on an empty tummy, said some stupid stuff about society then spewed on the train back and woke up in West Norwood. Like the week before. So why was I feeling so low?Despite the multiple signs and announcements about no bikes in rush-hour, some plank wearing a tool-belt was trying to get on the train with a mountain-bike and arguing with a couple of commuters. It was a packed-platform and the 7:15 was already rammed when it rolled in. I don't think the geezer was English. Probably Polish but then what did I know; I was probably just a bigot, lacking sleep.Bike-man gave up eventually and reluctantly battled his way to the back of the platform, muttering some harsh syllables in a language I didn't understand. A few commuters grumbled then chins went back to sternums, eyes to papers, ears to headphones and no more was said.Standing room only on the train. I was shunted down to that no-mans land between two seat-backs with nothing to hold onto; just the sandwich of two bods to wobble between. Couldn't even get my ipod out. Probably a good thing, I would've almost certainly drawn for the tear-jerkers.Once I'd fallen out the train at Victoria and swiped my ticket; I liven-ed up a bit on the bop down Victoria Street. My mind was preparing potential small-talk scenarios about what I did last night. Needed to deflect any genuine curiosity beyond the basics. Nothing much; just a bit of Sky Sports News; what did you do? That was the best I could come up with.Did the regular eyes-right to Westminster Cathedral and thought of Nan taking me and my sister in there when we were nippers. Much to her disappointment, we'd slipped to the lowest tier of membership in the Catholic club. First Easter got dropped, then even Christmas, now it was attend-mass-only-by-invite; weddings and funerals. The basic package. Still, I always acknowledged its presence on the daily graft-march to purgatory. I liked that it was there. It quietly maintained its magnificence on a suffocatingly dull street full of civil-serving concrete office blocks.Up ahead I saw Pete going through the glass doors into the office, clutching a copy of the Sun and a Greggs paper bag; most likely containing two steak-bakes. From distance, I could tell he was whistling a tune.Quick breath, through the doors then fist-bumped Sammy on security then straight into the lift. Thankfully no one from my floor was in there. Doors open and into the open-plan, strip-lit-sweat-pit. Quick breath then ran the gauntlet, arrowing straight to my desk hoping not to catch any eyes of conversation.‘How was your sleep Reece, did you have sweet dreams?'Shaz caught me off guard. Almost stopped. Out of some politeness, I turned my torso; it hurt.‘Erm, yea, it was alright, you?'‘You know she's taken don't you?'‘Who's taken?'‘Bianca'‘Eh?'When she said Bianca, she lifted the A and N then pushed down on the C and the A, kissed her teeth and turned back to her desk and her bowl of muesli. It was a shame Shaz was fit because I really disliked her. Clearly the feeling was mutual; certainly, on the dis-liking. She also had a boyfriend, Trey, who looked like he could handle himself, like Dan. Hero.The last thing I needed now was an office-rumour about me fancying Bianca. Like Shaz, she was also quite attractive just less acerbic and a lot more dim. Why was she telling Shaz about my sleep problems? That was a liberty.Managed to get through the morning mostly without incident. Priah came and inspected my screen once or twice; but despite being sleep-deprived I was managing to hold my focus and processed a bunch of claims.About 11 o clock, Priah sent an email round saying Monique from Essential Skills was coming in for part two of the bias training. I raised an eyebrow at this, as I wasn't aware there was a part 2 and I was beginning to question wether this was an Essential Skill. I was about to compose a witty response to Diane, making sure it wasn't to Priah this time but then clocked my name wasn't on the list of attendees. Pete wasn't on there either. I'd must've missed the bit where it said Ladies Night? What the flip was this? A day at the races? Either that or some oiled-up alpha was coming in dressed as a fireman to swing it about, while they all screamed and giggled. Maybe it was Dan and Trey. I could only conclude that birds had more bias to flush out than geezers, and if Shaz's snidey little remark was anything to go by, my theory was correct.Came back from lunch and Saw Monique from Essential Skills in the meeting room, setting up the power point. Once the Spice Girls had filed into the glass menagerie I took it as an opportunity and go make a cup of tea.Pete came into the kitchen, whistling. He had another greasy bag from Greggs containing two sausage rolls.‘Surprised you're not in there, mate.' He said.‘What, girls-club?'‘Girls and gays, ‘aint figured which you one you are yet, son'‘Gay? Who's gay in there?‘Pretty sure I saw Keith go in just now.'‘Boring Keith's in the training?!'Sure enough, I stuck my head out, looked across the office floor and in amongst the well-maintained ladies barnets was Boring Keith, with his little glasses, big belly and tiny mouth; holding his pen, tiny little grin on his boat.‘I didn't know Kieth was gay? I didn't think he was capable of human relationships.'‘What's the problem, Reecy? You enquiring?' He chuckled at this, while he got a plate out of the cupboard.‘Couldn't care less if he's gay. He's still a geezer but he's in there and we aint.'‘Dunno why you're getting stroppy about it Reecey-Boy. You think too much, that's your problem.'‘Yea maybe, just think it's a bit of a double standard.'‘Moan about it all you like, mate. I'm taking advantage. Got an appointment in trap-2, gonna take my time on this one; had a big ruby last night. Then, I'm gonna sit and do my fantasy team and knock off early. I cleared a load of work this morning so when Priah gets out, I'll go here look, I was banging-out claims left, right and centre while you lot was in there. That's how you play it, son.'Off he went, whistling again, clutching his Gregs bag and a plate, then stopped and turned back round.‘Oh yea. Friday afters. The George. Be there. Don't be gay.'And off he went again. I envied him; I don't think he was phased by anything. I looked back across to the glass-menagerie. Monique was pointing at a slide, looking very solemn, though I couldn't tell who was sat where, I could see all eyes were on the screen. It was pure Girl Power. And Kieth. This is a public episode.

Liebe Freunde, für Leopold ist der GRINDR Dating-Albtraum von uns allen zur traumatischen Realität geworden. Er wurde am 19.05.2026 durch die GRINDR Datingapp in eine Falle gelockt, für 3 Stunden Zuhause festgehalten, geschlagen, gedemütigt und ausgeraubt. Heute erzählt uns Leopold, wie er den Tathergang erlebt und auch durchgestanden hat. Dafür möchte ich Leopold danken, denn es ist wichtig, dass solche schlimmen und grausamen Taten nicht verborgen oder tot geschwiegen werden. Für Leopold und uns alle hoffe ich inständig, dass die Täter schnell gefasst werden und auch ein mehr als angemessenes Strafmaß verhängt wird – auch zur Abschreckung.Auch GRINDR sollte sich fragen, was sie tun können, damit das Dating über ihre App endlich sicher wird. Schließlich sollte das Unternehmen spätestens durch den Werbedeal mit Madonna sehr viel Geld eingenommen habe – Zeit auch mal etwas an die Communtiy zurückzugeben, finde ich.Bitte teilt dieses Video mit euren Freunden & Bekannten.

Viele neue Führungskräfte werden für ihre fachliche Exzellenz befördert und scheitern dann genau daran. Weil ihnen niemand zeigt, wie der Rollenwechsel vom Macher zum Ermöglicher wirklich funktioniert.   In dieser Folge teile ich die fünf häufigsten und teuersten Fehler, die ich selbst gemacht habe und bei vielen neuen Führungskräften immer wieder beobachte: - Warum „alles selbst machen" dein Team klein und dich selbst kaputt macht  - Wieso du Konflikte nicht länger aussitzen darfst  - Warum der Wunsch, von allen gemocht zu werden, deine Führung sabotiert  - Wie dein ignoriertes Bauchgefühl dich teure Fehlentscheidungen kostet  - Und warum Führungskräfte ohne echten Sparringspartner früher oder später einsam scheitern   Diese Folge ist für dich, wenn: - Du gerade frisch in eine Führungsrolle gekommen bist (oder davor stehst) - Du dich in der neuen Rolle manchmal überfordert oder allein fühlst - Du merkst, dass Fachwissen allein nicht reicht, um gut zu führen - Du bereit bist, bewusst vom Macher- ins Führungsdenken zu wechseln   Führung finden: Das Programm für neue Führungskräfte   Du musst diese Fehler nicht alle selbst machen. Im neuen Durchgang von „Führung finden" arbeiten wir genau an diesen Themen. In kleiner Runde (max. 6 Teilnehmer:innen), sehr praxisnah und auf Augenhöhe.   Nächster Start: 12. Juni 2026  Dauer: 3 Monate  Investition: 1.890 € + MwSt.    Melde dich jetzt für ein unverbindliches Info-Gespräch oder sichere dir einen der wenigen Plätze.   Kostenloses Infogespräch: https://calendly.com/monikamergele/persoenlicher-termin Direkt anmelden:  https://forms.gle/hugBPZSnUQN7gBF86

Subscribe to the channel today! [2:10] On with the Show! Our guest today is one of the liveliest RIMS members I know! She is Emily Buckley, the Insurance Manager for Specialized Bicycle Components, a global performance brand. [2:23] Emily is the Vice President of the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter. At RISKWORLD 2026, Emily was named to the RIMS Honor Roll in 2026. Emily made her RIMScast debut in 2024 for National Bike Safety Month in Man, and we're recording in May again. [2:47] We'll have a lot of fun talking about bicycle safety and how Emily embeds safety into all aspects of risk management and the risk culture over at Specialized Bicycle Components. [2:59] Emily has had a remarkable career at Specialized. She is the company's first-ever dedicated risk manager. She has built a modern enterprise-ready risk and insurance function from the ground up, which we are going to talk about today. [3:12] We'll talk about her risk philosophies, her approach to polycrisis and supply chain risk management, and why her involvement in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter has been so critical for her career. Let's get to it! [3:27] Interview! Emily Buckley, Welcome Back to RIMScast! [3:50] Emily says receiving the RIMS Honor Roll award seemed surreal. It was very cool to be onstage, be recognized, and have the village she had built around herself there supporting her. Everyone was so excited for her. It was one of the coolest things she had ever experienced. [4:27] Justin calls Emily the Risk Queen of Denver and the Greater Denver Area and says she has a lot of support behind her. She's "got heat!" [4:48] Justin is recording this episode during National Bicycle Safety Month. This is Emily's month. At Specialized Bicycle Components, every day is National Bicycle Safety Month! [5:19] Justin talks about safety being embedded into the manufacturing and shipping of bicycles. [5:34] Emily says every day, even when she is sleeping, safety is on her mind. [5:46] Specialized Bicycle Components has a Safety Team. Emily's broker has a Safety Specialist assigned to her account. Emily has connected those two teams. She is a liaison between them, and she works very closely with her Safety Team at Specialized Bicycle Components. [6:02] Emily has monthly meetings with groups at Specialized Bicycle Components to discuss safety initiatives. She says the Safety Team at Specialized does a phenomenal job. [6:26] Emily says Risk Management is a department of many hats. She tells people that if there is pushback on an initiative, I'll be the bad guy. Tell them, Sorry, Risk Management is making us do this. Sometimes that's a little bit easier to sell. [7:11] Emily has been practicing risk management for almost 15 years. She started at Kroenke Sports and Entertainment in Customer Interaction, including tossing T-shirts into the crowd for the Denver Nuggets. People wanted those shirts. [9:05] When Kroenke posted a job for a risk analyst, Emily applied, and Peggy Miller hired her. Emily talked about this in her past appearance on RIMScast. Peggy is the President of Rocky Mountain RIMS. Peggy taught Emily almost everything Emily knows about risk management. [9:34] Peggy took Emily under her wing. She taught Emily how to review contracts for risk management wording and insurance requirements. Emily could go to Peggy with any question, and Peggy would explain it. Emily says that Peggy is a phenomenal boss. [10:07] Emily found an opportunity at Specialized when it was time to spread her wings. She still calls Peggy from time to time for advice. Peggy is always willing to help. [10:34] Emily joined Specialized Bicycle Components and became the risk management department. She came in two or three months before they did their insurance renewal, so it was initiation by firehose. [10:53] It was a great opportunity to learn about the program. She was also educating them about what risk management does and how they should be running their program, and educating them about insurance requirements. [11:16] Emily says Specialized has an amazing executive team and ownership. They were so receptive to all the ideas Emily brought them. They also had a lot of creative ideas. As a risk manager, it was fun to come into that environment. [11:49] The risk department has not grown since Emily joined Specialized. [12:21] Emily started an ERM Program at Specialized. It takes a team, and it takes the right partners. Emily thinks every company will benefit from an ERM Program. Stepping into a manufacturing company very dependent on the supply chain, Emily saw that ERM was a must. [12:49] Emily worked with the right partners, did a couple of different tabletops, and hyper-focused on three or four ERM initiatives, for which she built the ERM foundation and the risk management foundation on top. Every project she works on goes back to those initiatives. [13:24] Emily says she is very fortunate to have the ear of the executive leadership. [13:32] One of the mantras at Specialized Bicycle Components is Innovate or Die. Emily has taken that to heart in Risk Management and ERM. Emily is constantly trying to find ways to make the ERM stronger and better, going back to those three or four initiatives. [13:51] Emily thinks outside the box. She has seen some products that don't completely fit Specialized, but by working with the service providers and saying she likes this product, but she needs it to do this, she has found some amazing service providers and partners to work with.  [14:24] As a risk manager, Emily lives in worst-case scenarios. Professionally and personally, she can never get away from worst-case scenarios. A good risk manager is always preparing for the worst-case scenario, always thinking, what is the absolute worst thing that could happen. [14:46] Emily says one of the hardest things is realizing that a lot of people don't live in that headspace. When she goes to teams and tells them the worst thing that can happen, they ask if she is OK. She insists that this worst-case scenario is something they need to think about. [15:12] That's where education comes in. We need to think about it. If this worst-case scenario happens, all of these ripple effects hit every portion of the company. [15:43] Emily says Specialized has been around so long, and with the leadership and experts they have in place, Emily is amazed every day at the team that Specialized has assembled. She says they are the best in their class. There are Olympic and professional athletes on the team. [16:43] A service provider noticed that Specialized Bicycle Components recruits the best people in the world. They want that experience so they can build a better product with better processes. [17:07] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026.

[19:13] Justin speaks about the profile of Emily Buckley in the RIMS Risk Management Magazine Awards Edition. It mentions that Emily consolidated fragmented global insurance structures into a unified strategy across more than 30 countries. [19:38] Emily says, trying to get the insurance together at a global company was hard. A lot of people were autonomous, getting their own insurance and doing their own thing. In almost 15 years as a risk manager, Emily learned that insurance is very touchy for a lot of people. [20:23] Insurance costs a lot of money for something that you can't see. You're not using it unless something bad has happened. So it's a very sensitive subject for a lot of people. Emily says it's a job that won't ever really be done because there are so many different moving parts. [21:03] Emily says that in all the different countries we're in, every country has different insurance laws, different ways to buy and pay for insurance, and what kind of insurance you have to have. [21:13] Emily says in some countries, I have to have a locally placed general liability policy, but the property policy that I place on a global level will sit over that. In a different country, I have to have a locally placed general liability/property and a locally placed stock throughput. [21:31] For almost 40 different countries, you have to know which countries you have to have insurance in. That's when your broker becomes invaluable. [21:48] It's helpful to have a foreign team on your broker who are subject matter experts in placing locally placed policies. Emily says she would not be able to do that without the team at her broker, Brown & Brown.  [22:03] Emily talks about educating the people at your company: This is what we currently have, and this is what we need. We need it in almost 40 countries. These 20 are our top priority. You tier them down so you're not throwing everything at the wall. [22:27] You're formulating a plan, then educating and speaking with the people in your company. A lot of questions come up, not only about general liability, but also cyber, and directors & officers. [22:37] It's a sensitive subject that you have to take your time with. Build a relationship with those offices so that when something does happen, or they have a question, they come to you. [23:04] You will always be making connections with your offices, making sure they're happy with their insurance, they understand it, and they have a local contact. If something happens in Taiwan, they need a local contact who can answer questions and relay that to the global team. [24:12] Emily says that every year, there are two or three problem countries, from an insurance perspective, where the carrier or broker has thrown a curveball. Sometimes she has had to pull people out of the program and put them on their own. It's a constantly moving target. [25:13] Emily says at Kroenke, she and Peggy did a business continuity tabletop, where they sat down with all the different department heads at Ball Arena (Pepsi Center, then) and walked through scenarios. They presented a worst-case scenario tabletop with 30 people in the room. [25:52] Emily and Peggy also did a couple of cyber tabletop exercises. Emily stresses how important it is to do a cyber tabletop with your executive and leadership team. They're always amazed at how many different small issues and questions come up that they never thought of. [26:35] Emily says her leadership team at Specialized is fantastic. They've been very supportive. She can throw ideas at them, and they'll say, "Let's do it." [26:49] Justin says people receive these awards from RIMS not just for their achievements in risk management, but also for what they give back to the broader risk management community or their local chapters. [27:09] Justin says Emily is very involved in the RIMS Rocky Mountain Chapter and is a great Networker and is very plugged in. Justin says that if it weren't for Emily, he doesn't think he would have gotten Rich Lenkov from SERMA on the show this year. (Shout out to Rich!) [27:40] Emily says she started going to the Rocky Mountain RIMS Chapter when she was an analyst, working under Peggy Miller. She remembers walking into a Lunch and Learn. Going to Chapter meetings was very inspiring. She wanted to be that knowledgeable one day. [29:10] Emily says this industry is built on your connections to people and how you know people. She says we have the best people in our chapter. We're very involved with students and RRP. [29:24] Emily tells students in RRP, "Come to our meetings. If you don't know anybody, you know me. I will introduce you to everybody. This is where your career is going to take off. This is where you're going to be able to make steps and strides and really make connections." [30:11] Emily says she cannot say enough great things about Rocky Mountain RIMS. She thinks they have one of the best chapters in the U.S., because they have the best people. [30:24] Justin recalls that Ondrea Matthews with CoorsTek was on the show last year. She is in Rocky Mountain RIMS. Emily says Ondrea is one of the best people she knows. Justin says she had fascinating stories. A link to her RIMScast episode is in the show notes. [31:02] Emily says when she joined Specialized, she told them she's a Rocky Mountain RIMS board member, she speaks at conferences, and is a guest lecturer at CU Denver. They were super supportive. [31:47] Emily says Specialized wants to put the best product on the market, and Emily takes that into risk management and insurance. She wants to create the best risk program that she can. She wants to work with the best service providers that she can. [32:12] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [32:32] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026.

It will be at the fabulous Waldorf Astoria in New York City. [33:23] Sponsorship opportunities and benefits are available now. A link to the Funding Their Future Gala is in this episode's show notes. [33:32] Be on the lookout for some of the honorees and Spencer Board members to join RIMScast in June and July. [33:41] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS 2026 Honor Roll Recipient Emily Buckley! [33:48] Justin mentions the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. The RIMS ERM Engage Group is a member-only offshoot of SERMC for people to have candid dialogues. All RIMS members have exclusive access to the ERM Engage Group. Emily is a member. [34:38] Emily says the ERM Engage Group gets together monthly for an hour. Morgan O'Rourke, VP of Editorial at RIMS, leads it. Everyone brings issues, or Morgan will have a guest speaker. Emily says it's just such a great place to go and learn from industry peers with similar issues. [35:55] Emily is not trying to reinvent the wheel. If she can bring the problems she is dealing with to a group of professionals, ask how they have done it in the past, and get 10 or 20 ideas, it's amazing. [36:13] Emily recommends the movie, Project Hail Mary, which she calls amazing. [36:27] Justin talks about the monthly guest speaker, often from SERMC, who presents a topic and then engages the group in discussion. The Engage group lets the leaders see who the next ERM leaders are going to be through their participation. It's very interactive. [37:32] If you are a RIMS member, just check out the RIMS ERM Engage Group. Justin says Emily's involvement is above and beyond, not just for her job, but for RIMS, so he was not surprised she received the 2026 RIMS Honor Roll; it's well deserved. [38:18] Emily loves her job. She loves this industry.  [38:40] Emily admits her blood caffeine content was through the roof, preparing for the awards ceremony. Emily looked it up. She is the 43rd recipient of the Risk Management Honor Roll in 75 years of RIMS. She has the award in her window in her office. It is cool to be celebrated. [40:26] Emily says her award makes it into everything. After she got it, she carried it around with her. At lunch, it was sitting on the table. At dinner, it was sitting on the table. She carried it onto the plane with her. [41:22] In the profile about Emily, it talked about perseverance in mountain biking. Juston asks Emily for her inspiration for the next generation of risk professionals. [42:04] Emily's words: "Keep going. You're going to fail, and that's fine. It's part of the journey. Fail. Learn the lesson or lessons, but keep going. Always keep looking at the horizon, saying, OK, I'm going to get there. I'm going to get there, I'm going to get there. [42:21] "The absolute most important thing is, have fun on the way." Emily says she did a little dance on the awards stage, and some students told her they loved seeing her having fun with it. It made Emily's day for them to stop and tell her. "If you're not having fun, what's the point?" [43:21] Justin tells Emily, We look forward to more great things from you in the coming years. We thank you, and we congratulate you again. [45:33] Special thanks again to Emily Buckley of Specialized Bicycle Components for joining us here on RIMScast!

Wie sieht die Zukunft Sachsen-Anhalts aus, wenn die FDP ihre politischen Visionen Wirklichkeit werden lässt? In einer neuen Ausgabe des Sachsen-Anhalt Podcast begrüßen die Hosts Stefan B. Westphal und Chris Luzio Schönburg die FDP-Landesvorsitzende sowie Ministerin für Digitalisierung und Infrastruktur, Lydia Hüskens, frisch vom Bundesparteitag direkt im Studio, um das 76-seitige Wahlprogramm der FDP Sachsen-Anhalt für die Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 zu analysieren.Im Fokus der Betrachtung stehen die vier Hauptkapitel des Programms mit dem Titel „Freiheit hat nur eine Heimat“: Wirtschaft, Energie und Landwirtschaft, selbstbestimmtes Leben, ein moderner Staat sowie gleichwertige Lebensverhältnisse.Die Moderatoren beleuchten intensiv markt- und technologieorientierte Vorschläge, wie die geplante Erprobung von Sonderwirtschaftszonen an Standorten wie Leuna oder dem ehemals für Intel vorgesehenen Areal, in denen bürokratische Vorschriften und Genehmigungsverfahren drastisch reduziert werden sollen.Ebenfalls kontrovers diskutiert werden die Forderung nach einer vollständigen Liberalisierung der Ladenöffnungszeiten an Sonn- und Feiertagen sowie bundespolitische Initiativen zur Reaktivierung von Kernkraftwerken und der Ermöglichung von Fracking.Im Bereich der Digitalisierung verweist Lydia Hüskens auf bereits spürbare Erfolge beim Abbau von Funklöchern und die Zielsetzung einer vernetzten, bürgernahen Verwaltung, die doppelte Datenerhebungen überflüssig macht. Angesichts aktueller Umfragewerte von rund drei Prozent im Land und der besonderen Aktualität dieser Folge direkt nach dem jüngst stattgefundenen Bundesparteitag, auf dem Wolfgang Kubicki zum neuen Bundesvorsitzenden gewählt wurde, hinterfragt die Runde schlussendlich sachlich, ob diese Programmatik und die personelle Neuaufstellung der FDP den Wiedereinzug in den Landtag sichern können.Der Sachsen-Anhalt Podcast begleitet die Menschen in allen Regionen des Landes – von der Altmark bis in den Süden. Die Themen betreffen die Landkreise Stendal, Salzwedel und die Börde ebenso wie das Jerichower Land, den Harz und den Salzlandkreis. Auch die Perspektiven aus Anhalt-Bitterfeld, Wittenberg, Mansfeld-Südharz sowie dem Saalekreis und dem Burgenlandkreis fließen in die Debatten ein.Moderiert wird von Stefan B. Westphal, der über langjährige Erfahrung in der Kommunalpolitik verfügt, und dem freien Journalisten und Moderator Chris Luzio Schönburg.Der Sachsen-Anhalt Podcast kann auf allen gängigen Plattformen abonniert werden.Wahlprogramm 2026 FDP Sachsen-Anhalt:

Damals fasste er sich ein Ziel: Wenn er wieder auf die Beine kommt und joggen kann, will er einen Marathon laufen. Heute hat er bereits über 100 Marathons absolviert.Seit 2018 lebt Iwan nach der Carnivore-Ernährung. Sein Motto lautet: Du bist, was du isst. Deshalb versorgt er seinen Körper gezielt mit allen wichtigen Nährstoffen.Im vergangenen Sommer stellte er schließlich seine außergewöhnliche Ausdauer unter Beweis: Mit einer rein carnivoren Zero Carb-Ernährung, also ganz ohne Kohlenhydrate, absolvierte er in 41 Tagen insgesamt 2.347 Kilometer. Das entspricht einem Durchschnitt von 57,2 Kilometern pro Tag.Entgegen der oft geäußerten Annahme verlor er durch diese langen Belastungen keine Muskelmasse. Welche Veränderungen sich bei seinen Blutwerten und seiner Körperzusammensetzung im Detail gezeigt haben, erzählt er im Podcast.Iwan ist unter ibruggmann@hotmail.com erreichbar und auf Instagram unter @crossrunneriwan zu finden.  ________________________________ Fleischzeit ist der erste deutschsprachige Podcast rund um die carnivore Ernährung.

Eine besonders schwere Phase begann, nachdem er auf Empfehlung seines Arztes Dinkelvollkornbrot gegessen hatte. Daraufhin stellte er seine Ernährung auf die carnivore Ernährungsweise um. Zwar besserte sich sein Darmzustand dadurch zunächst etwas, gleichzeitig traten jedoch starke Bauchkrämpfe auf. Auch mit magerem Rindfleisch wurde es nur teilweise besser. Schließlich stellte sich heraus, dass er weder Rindfleisch noch Milchprodukte verträgt. Heute ernährt er sich vor allem von Eiern und Geflügel mit Olivenöl, isst aber auch wieder Reis, Kartoffeln und Weißmehlprodukte – und verträgt all das problemlos. Innerhalb von nur sechs Monaten konnte er 20 Kilogramm zunehmen, darunter auch Muskelmasse, und hat heute wieder ein funktionierendes Magen-Darm-System. Dadurch kann er seinem Beruf wieder voll nachgehen.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   In this episode, Justin interviews Ward Ching and Aaron Olson of Aon about their recent session at RISKWORLD 2026 and the book they co-authored, Strategy and Change: Finding Opportunity in Disruption Through Insight, Choice, and Risk. They discuss the dizzying, disruptive transformation in today's market, where conventional risk management frameworks, tools, and solutions have become increasingly ineffective. They explore technological innovation in terms of the new powers of next-generation microprocessors and the accompanying robustness of machine learning-based analytics. Aaron explains how he built an AI analysis agent over a weekend. Aaron and Ward discuss their book and how to use it to help you and your organization navigate disruption. Listen for insight on how to use disruption without being disrupted in the risk ecosystem.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast. [:16] About this episode of RIMScast. Our topic is strategy and change in a world full of innovation and disruption, and we will be joined by our guests, Aaron Olson and our friend Ward Ching of Aon, but first… [:45] RIMS Virtual Workshops.

[1:36] On with the Show! Our guests today are, respectively, the Executive Vice President at Aon Corporation and a Managing Director at Aon Corporation. They are Aaron Olson, making his debut on RIMSCast, and our good friend Ward Ching, also a former RIMS-CRMP Commissioner. [1:52] They presented a session at RISKWORLD 2026, titled "Strategy and Change: Understanding Disruptive Innovation Through Insight, Choice and Risk." They recently published a book, Strategy and Change: Finding Opportunity in Disruption Through Insight, Choice, and Risk. [2:11] We will talk about the risk management practices, philosophies, and frameworks that went into the book and the session, what it took for Mr. Olson to build an AI agent, and how you can assess whether this is the sort of business decision for your organization. Let's get to it! [2:32] Interview! Aaron Olson and Ward Ching, Welcome to RIMScast! [3:12] Aaron says Ward and he work together at Aon, and they work with risk managers around the world. They also do some academic work. Ward, at USC, Marshall School of Business, and Aaron, at Northwestern, just outside Chicago. [3:25] Aaron says that for 20 years, he's been working as a member of the faculty there, part-time, teaching on the topic of the intersection of strategy and leadership. [3:38] About 10 years ago, Aaron did some research and published a book focused on the intersection of strategy and leadership. He looked at different companies and examples to learn how individuals lead strategy. [3:55] Ten years later, Aaron and Ward talked about it regarding the clients they work with and the challenges risk managers working in those organizations face. In the last 10 years, the world has gotten a lot more complicated and volatile, and is facing more and more risk. [4:16] Aaron and Ward decided to do some new work. This time, it's not strategy and leadership; it's strategy and disruptive change. [4:27] They looked at what lessons they could learn from COVID, from the supply chain, and from the unpredictable rising cost of doing business. What can we do about that? [4:42] How can companies be successful? How can risk managers be successful? What is the changing, evolving role of risk in the midst of that?  [4:53] Ward says one of the interesting things is that disruption has always been part of the economic environment. It is now a hyper-important part of economic decision-making in every industry vertical. [5:12] Ward's research in the disruptive innovation space started with a paper for RIMS that he did with Paul Walker several years ago on the issue of enterprise risk management tools and capabilities. Paul and Ward did the research, looking at all the tools. [5:38] Then February 2020 rolled around, and the world went completely dark. Everybody predicted that there was exposure to a pandemic, but nobody had any thought of how it would go from ranking number 25 or 50 on risk registers to number one, overnight. [6:14] Paul and Ward asked each other what was underneath this. Why did all of our tools fail? They found an interesting literature base around disruptive innovation. Ward says a lot, if not all, of our core disruptive events throughout history started with a technological innovation. [6:38] Aaron and Ward went further, looking at all the disruption in the marketplace now: new silicon chips, our speed toward AI, agentic AI, the things we can do now with data that we couldn't do or see five years ago. That's creating a very interesting, disruptive environment. [7:10] Disruption needs to be considered as part of the decision calculus for most organizations. Similarly, disruption is a new risk issue that has not been well understood, measured, or evaluated in the past. That's what Ward and Aaron were trying to look at. [7:30] In the book and at RISKWORLD, Ward and Aaron looked at it from several perspectives: How is disruption creating advantage? How is disruption creating new opportunities? How is it changing the way we think about risk, risk management, and risk mitigation? [7:58] Aaron says one of the things we uncovered as we got into this was that going back 10 years ago, on any given day, your average executive was maybe dealing with one crisis or issue coming at them. [8:14] Aaron says that today, an executive coming into the office or dialing in on Zoom is probably dealing with two or three simultaneous challenges, and that has a compounding effect. Technology is an accelerant and also an amplifier. [8:37] The combination of speed and severity means that organizations deal with an external environment that has multiple concurrent risks. Then you have internal execution risks, and they, too, are more complicated. [8:52] Take AI, as an externality, but also inside. All kinds of new risks are surfacing as AI is changing workflows, processes, and the nature of people's jobs and work. That is a level of complexity we have not had to deal with in most of our professional lifetimes. [9:12] Ward says most of the tools that we use to mitigate those risks are now obsolete. When you look at a heat map, it is point-specific. You look at various risks along a series of axes. These point-specific numbers or locations don't answer the question, "So what do you do?" [9:59] You understand where the risk might be, on a frequency, severity, or likelihood scale, but if you were the CFO, you would be asking, "What investment do I have to make to move something that's at an extraordinarily high, or even uninsurable space, into someplace more acceptable?" [10:18] Those comparative static tools don't give you enough information to make significant decisions, especially now that a problem may have adjacencies that impact a decision, so that needs to be broader in terms of its context and execution. A lot of those tools don't work now. [10:41] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026.

[12:33] Aaron built the strategy agent at Aon. Aaron shares how it was done. He was a one-man team on this project. Aaron tells about vibe coding. He took a routine that he and Ward have been doing for years, and he realized that an agent could do some of that work.  [13:36] Aaron and Ward have been working together for a couple of years. On the academic side, they wrote a book and codified some of the work they do with their clients. Aaron says they took a framework and turned it into a simple worksheet. [13:53] Aaron now uses that worksheet to prepare for clients. It's an analysis tool for what is going on in that client's industry, what key issues they need to deal with, and what insights, decisions, and risks Aaron will discuss with them. [14:09] As Aaron started to look at agents, he realized that he didn't have to do all that work himself. [14:16] Aaron uses ChatGPT. There's an ability within ChatGPT to create a Custom GPT. It asks you to follow a set of instructions. It isn't coding, just guidance. [14:36] Aaron wrote out his guidance, uploaded his worksheet, and constructed prompts. A prompt is a good question to ask. Aaron preloaded some good prompts to get an agent. [14:52] Aaron, Ward, and others use this agent, which they call the Strategy and Change Diagnostic. They input the client's name and problem, the type of conversation they want to have with the client, the situations they are focusing on, and the present disruptive changes. [15:16] Aaron asks the agent, "What are the things we should be focusing on?" It comes back with a lot of the work Aaron would have had to think through himself. It's pulling on the logic he taught it and pulling real-time, relevant financial information from the internet. [15:43] Aaron says it would have taken a team of people working for months to get the same result. We're living in a different world. [15:52] Ward says that Aaron can change the persona of the agent. The agent is looking at it from one point of view. It can look at it from a different point of view or a competing point of view. All of those will generate additional insights into what the client's issues might be. [15:14] Aaron built the Strategy and Change Diagnostic over a weekend and refined it by trying it out with some real situations. Aaron thinks this type of agent is in the future for all of us. [16:27] Ward says, Strategy and Change: Finding Opportunity in Disruption Through Insight, Choice, and Risk, and the recent RISKWORLD 2026 session, cover disruption and disruptive innovation in a clinical way, and case studies, new tools, and responsibilities that are coming out.  [16:54] Ward talks about the necessary skills. Many people in risk management are asking what skills and capabilities they need to be successful going forward. That's a big issue. What is the impact of AI? What is the impact on data analysis and on the types of things they need to do? [17:19] Risk professionals wonder if they should be coders, actuaries, or engineers. Ward says, the answer is yes. They need to be all of those, going forward. That's a big issue in question. [17:28] Justin says an editorial strategy shift at RIMS is that it's no longer just about identifying risk. It's how to leverage it to do your job better. It's what you need to know now to enable you to succeed later. It's not just about the "what." It's about the "why" and the "how." [17:52] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [18:14] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [18:27] General Grant applications are open, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [18:39] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [18:48] The Spencer 2026 Funding Their Future Gala will be held on Thursday, September 17th, from 6:30 to 10:00 p.m. at a different venue this year. It will be at the fabulous Waldorf Astoria in New York City. [19:03] Sponsorship opportunities and benefits are available now. A link to the Funding Their Future Gala is in this episode's show notes. [19:12] Be on the lookout for some of the honorees and Spencer Board members to join RIMScast in June and July. [19:21] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Ward Ching and Aaron Olson!! [19:32] Aaron says this is the second book he has written and the first book he has written with Ward. They enjoyed the opportunity to bring together some things they had been doing in their respective professional backgrounds. [19:46] The book is an investigation into what is driving us to live in a world that's more complicated and faster-moving, where risk is different, and we need to work differently because of it. [20:01] They go into practical things with three different lenses on the issues we all face in a world of disruptive change. The lenses are insight, choice, and risk. They get to the practical aspects of what that means for us. [20:15] They address success in a world that's more complicated, is moving faster, and has a lot more volatility that's not going away. They use case examples. They look at real organizations. What happened to GE over the last decade? How did they navigate changes in their industry? [20:35] How did S&P Global evolve from a very different business a decade ago? They were McGraw-Hill, the publisher. These are real companies that have faced real challenges, and they've taken proactive approaches that have evolved the way they do business. [20:52] The book brings it down to individuals and how you lead through that kind of change. There are practical things and a few tools to use. [21:05] Ward adds that it points to some additional literature to think about. [21:09] Clayton Christensen at Harvard did a lot of interesting work associated with the innovator's dilemma, in which he was asking the question, "How do organizations that have been innovative throughout their lifespans, when they continue to be innovative, fail?" [21:28] Ward says it has to do with disruptive elements in the marketplace. It raises the question of how you, in risk management, can help the organization think slightly disruptively to help it push through the biases and barriers that might cause it to have difficulties going forward. [21:40] The issue of understanding disruptive innovation is part of the new toolkit that the next generation of risk professionals is going to have to have, sharpened up, with a strong acumen around, to help their organization succeed going forward. [22:09] Those are some of the more subtle elements of the book. It also talks about a risk ecosystem as opposed to separate distinct property and casualty, wealth, well-being, and more. [22:27] They're not in separate locations; they're in an ecosystem. The data is showing us how they interact with each other. New skills, new capabilities, and new perspectives are highlighted in the book. [22:44] Special thanks again to Aaron Olson and Ward Ching of Aon for joining us here on RIMScast!

That is also observed in several parts of the world. Who better to speak about safety than Jennifer McNelly, the CEO of The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP)? [2:20] Jennifer is an accomplished executive with more than 35 years of leadership experience in associations, government, and industry. She has been the Society's CEO since 2018, leading the global organization of more than 36,000 occupational, safety, and health professionals.  [2:36] Jennifer has some new risk management standards to discuss, under the safety umbrella. I also thought we would benefit from hearing her philosophies on safety and how the ASSP encourages its members to embed safety into their organization's culture. Let's get to it! [2:55] Interview! ASSP CEO, Jennifer McNelly, Welcome to RIMScast! [3:29] Jennifer McNelly and Gary LaBranche, CEO of RIMS, run into each other often at ASAE. They have talked about connecting. Jennifer is excited to be here on RIMScast to talk about collaboration, partnership, and keeping everybody safe at work. [4:04] Jennifer asks every safety professional she connects with, "Tell me your story." She says she is an amalgamation of many stories that have led her to be the CEO of ASSP. She started in the political world. She says you've got to build strong partnerships to move things forward. [4:26] That is the foundation of the mindset Jennifer brings to the ASSP. After politics, she spent time in the U.D. Department of Labor in the capacity of public-private partnerships. That's how you move things forward. [4:41] This was followed by a deep commitment to the people in this nation who make things through leadership at the Manufacturing Institute and Global Stages. All of Jennifer's career has been at the intersection of people and the world of work, and making the world a better place. [4:58] Jennifer says now she gets to do that with unbelievable honor for those who get up and run the world's economy every day, ensuring they get to go home as they were and better than when they walked in the door. [5:11] Jennifer says that's about economic contribution, keeping everybody safe, and the commitment and heart of every safety professional. Safety brought her in the door, with a very unique lens of how we need to work together to send everybody home. [5:32] Jennifer has been with ASSP for eight years, moving into her ninth year. She brings energy, passion, and connection to what ASSP is doing. She likes to think of herself as the catalyst for impact, to make workers' safety, health, and well-being an inherent right for everybody. [6:11] Jennifer says everyone's got a safety story. Often, the thing that hits the headline is the "Somebody did …" and there was a whole set of events. [6:23] Hence, today's conversation, anchored in the importance of risk identification, risk management, and integration into thinking every day by everyone. [6:33] It's not just one thing that starts it. It can be the mindset of someone who's had a bad morning and lost childcare for their family. It can be about a system in process. It can be about a bad piece of equipment. It can be a bunch of other things, but what we hear is the headline. [6:53] Jennifer says our goal is to unpack the story and get to the root cause and improve it, for everyone. [7:00] Jennifer says the ASSP has over 35,000 members globally. A lot of the membership is in the industrial space. They have partners in insurance, and those who service as well as those who produce. ASSP calls this the Safety Ecosystem. [7:26] Justin says RIMS sees that Enterprise Risk Management is leading the way for the future of the profession. Justin asks how Jennifer sees safety risk integrating more deeply into ERM frameworks. [7:42] Jennifer said in 2019, early in her career at ASSP, her pitch to the Board of Directors was for moving safety professionals and workers from basic compliance to a complete integration of human capital, total worker health, and principles like prevention through design. [8:10] Risk Enterprise Systems are critical to that objective. ASSP just released a new standard, "ANSI/ASSP Z310.1 Risk Management — Guidelines for Assessing and Managing Risk." [8:34] It's about management systems, operating in an organizational context, and creating and documenting a comprehensive approach. It's about stakeholder engagement, culture, and inclusivity. [8:49] It also has an important mindset: Change always happens. Therefore, it's about dynamic operations, not static operations; about how you use clear and available information to lead forward, and consider culture and human factors, always with continuous improvement. [9:11] Jennifer says we can't move forward without all those factors integrated into Enterprise Risk. [9:18] The ASSP's Z310.1 Committee is comprised of 28 organizations. ASSP plays an important role in the marketplace. Its logo is a shield, and its members are guardians of workplace safety. Every one of them is a workplace superhero. [10:05] Jennifer loves all superheroes because she loves the potential of hope that each one of us has that power. [10:12] One of the things that is unique about ASSP's market position is its global-based standards. It brings companies together around the table to flesh it out. It's not a single company. [10:34] Jennifer says injuries, serious incidents, and fatalities happen in an environment that's complex, dynamic, and always changing. By bringing together those who are doing the work, we gain consensus. [10:49] Justin says there is a link to the press release in this episode's show notes. The press release mentions how ANSI/ASSP Z310.0 builds off the ISO 31000 standard. There's a lot of value in it for RIMS members. Please check out the link in this episode's show notes. [11:17] Justin notes that ANSI comes with a lot of heft. The RIMS-CRMP is ANSI-accredited. RIMS is the only globally recognized risk management program through ANSI. [11:37] Jennifer says that early in her career, she sat on ANSI's 17024 PCAC, the group that approved those kinds of standards. She is a firm believer in business driving business outcomes. They know what works. [11:54] The workers doing the work and the business conducting the business know what works. Jennifer talks about cross connections and says we should be talking and doing more together. Each of us has a critical role. [12:42] A Quick Break! There are so many other wonderful RIMS events coming up in 2026. The 2026 Florida RIMS Educational Conference will be held from July 28th through August 1st at the lovely Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Florida. A link to the event is in this episode's show notes.

Also, remember to check out RIMS.org/Canada for our spinoff show, RIMScast Canada, hosted by National Conference Committee Chair, Aaron Lukoni. [14:27] The RIMS ERM Conference 2026 will be held on November 18th and 19th in Columbus, Ohio. Details will follow on RIMS.org. [14:37] Let's Return to our Interview with ASSP CEO Jennifer McNelly! [14:44] Jennifer says standards bring consensus together, but members are asking how to use the standards and what to do with them. [15:03] Members want the playbook because they are busy, underresourced, and over-expected. They have a stressful work environment. The ASSP launched Standards-Based User Groups in January of this year. [15:20] The ASSP's partners collaboratively spend close to $7 million a year investing in keeping the standards updated. How do you move the standards to market? What do you do with them? There are hundreds of thousands of companies around the world that use the standards. [15:38] To somebody who is just starting that journey, it's a challenge. The ASSP's Standards-Based User Groups dig into the company's maturity, the maturity of the safety professional, and help them move one step further. [15:59] The point of Standards-Based User Groups (SBUGs) is to make the standards accessible. Jennifer says there are a couple of unique angles to the approach they are taking. [16:29] The ASSP's Standards-Based User Groups approach starts where serious incidents and fatalities happen, fall from heights and energy controls, two things where there is a lot of technical expertise in lock-out, tag-out, and fall prevention standards. [16:51] Jennifer says there is a disruption happening in business and in safety, the impact and influence of Big Data, AI, and analytics. The third SBUG is AI and Safety. Through technology partners, by integrating the Standards, it will level up what people have access to. [17:23] The ASSP's traditional routes are through the safety professionals. By putting Standards-Based User Groups in the hands of the reporting systems they have to use every day, that is scaling in a way that has never been done before. [18:06] The focus of the Standards-Based User Groups is scaling great knowledge in a framework denied by the industry. [18:16] Justin says it becomes a strategic risk management function. Jennifer says it is built into enterprise systems to drive action and make better decisions. [18:30] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [18:51] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026.

Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [19:18] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [19:27] Let's Conclude Our Interview with the American Society of Safety Professionals CEO Jennifer McNelly! [19:47] Justin points out that June is National Safety Month. Jennifer thinks every day is National Safety Day! National Safety Month puts a consistent spotlight on safety. She believes safety professionals need more celebration. [20:34] Jennifer loves to tell their stories. She is grateful to any safety professional and to anybody in the ecosystem listening today. Thank you for everything that you do. [20:48] June is coming, and we are not done. Jennifer often talks about the gap. She uses the roots of ASSP and the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire as a real example that the gap is always going to exist. [21:12] Jennifer speaks of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. It is the roots of the ASSP. There remains a building on the corner of NYU where about 149 individuals perished jumping out of windows because the doors were locked. It is the foundation and grounding of safety in the U.S. [21:36] Jennifer repeats that it is a real example of the gap. A couple of years ago, the ASSP Board of Directors went to the dedication of the building. Every year, Taps is played, and the ladder goes up, and it stops at the sixth floor. [21:49] You see the bunting and the gap between where we are today and where they were then. Someone next to Jennifer said, "But it needs to go higher!" That's the point. There is always a gap because business is dynamic and ever-changing. [22:06] Our responsibility as safety professionals and associations is to fill the gap and get ahead of it. With serious incidents and fatalities, the data has been flat for 10 years. Let's do something different. [22:23] Let's think about the principles of prevention through design and crack the C-Suite decision-making. Jennifer talks about safety as good governance. How safety succeeds is about the economic decision-making process. [22:44] Jennifer says it's got to be built into business in every way, shape, and form. Safety is never a moment or a one-and-done. It is a part of every part of business decision-making. [23:07] NIOSH does tremendous research on the future of work and how dynamic it is. Every year, Jennifer calls senior executives and talks through critical things. She does that because research says one thing and the ASSP membership says another. There's a gap. [23:28] Often, in that gap, Jennifer hears the term "research to practice." That leads back to the Standards-Based User Groups. What does the research say, what does the data say, and how do you scale it?  [23:42] There are several forces at play when looking at what's shaping the world of work. There's workforce instability; a fluidity that never existed before. It's one of the biggest emerging risks Jennifer sees. [24:02] Next is the fact that safety is not a metric. Then there's the pace of change and technology, and the influence of leadership. Jennifer believes that leadership happens in every role and function. How do we empower individual and corporate leadership? [25:15] If a company is doing minimal compliance with the law, data tells us that's not enough. Jennifer said a volunteer was excited to tell her they had removed cell phones from a site. But cell phones can be used to photograph risks you hadn't seen. [25:54] First, understand what problem you are trying to solve. Is it technology looking for a problem, or a problem looking for a solution that the technology enables? That's the approach ASSP is taking. [26:13] If we continue to have individuals die every year, falling from heights, how do we solve that through technology, because somewhere in that complex system, things are not where they need to be. That's a statement of forward motion. [26:39] Jennifer says she thinks there is a huge opportunity, but it needs to be ethically used, transparent, and clear what problem we are trying to solve. AI in safety isn't new. ASSP worked with MakUSafe AI for three years as they started studying technology advancements in safety. [27:04] Jennifer says wearables have been around "forever." They're a good practice. Someone has seen the problem and identified the solution, and our challenge is replication, application, and scale. ASSP is striving toward that and how technology can enable it. [27:24] Jennifer says guardrails are something we hear from membership all the time. Jennifer wants it to be done in a way that integrates it seamlessly, not a new shiny penny. Jennifer is very careful to make sure changes are made at every level. This isn't a blame-the-worker approach. [27:53] This isn't Big Brother is watching somebody in the workplace. This is about empowerment in an era of action. How does information become a learning opportunity to understand A + B + C + D? [28:18] Jennifer says when she thinks of behaviors and actions, she thinks of the C-Suite decision-making. [28:26] What does the Board of Directors governing an enterprise know and understand about the human capital management and decision-making on the capital investment side of safety in the workplace? [28:39] Justin notes registration is open for Safety 2026, held from June 15th through 17th in Anaheim. It's the 65th Annual Conference and Expo. Jennifer calls it a Safety Revival! For Safety members, coming together to learn, connect, and grow gives a unique sense of belonging. [29:19] Jennifer calls it a battery-filling, energizing, impact like no other. It's a great opportunity to see what is on the leading edge and solve problems. The Expo is not a sales pitch. Everybody on that floor has to have a reason and something to share with safety professionals. [29:45] Jennifer describes the 200 classes. There are over 700 program applicants each year. There's too much content and not enough time. There's top-notch technical content and the opportunity to connect with someone that you know you can call and get an answer from. [30:20] Jennifer's favorite thing is to run around, hear stories, and take selfies. It truly is a welcoming and impactful event. [30:32] Jennifer says she's the reason people stop the second they walk in the door. She reminds them why they're there. Last year, she wore an ASSP pickleball outfit to show it's about not just being together but also having fun. Sometimes we forget that connection and fun. [31:14] People are going to learn, but have a great time while you're doing it! Jennifer says she will see everybody onstage! Anaheim will be the place to be! [31:29] The link to the 65th Annual Conference and Expo for Safety 2026 is in this episode's show notes. Justin says it has been such a pleasure to connect with you, finally, and get the word out for National Safety Month. We're priming for National Safety Month.

Spürst du es auch? Dass sich gerade etwas verschiebt? Viele Menschen, die ich kenne, waren in den letzten Jahren in einer Art innerem Rückzug – gewachsen, gereift, geheilt, aber noch nicht wirklich angekommen im Außen. Noch nicht sichtbar. Noch nicht in Fluss. Und das hatte seinen Sinn. Es war eine Vorbereitungsphase. Aber ich spüre, dass sich das gerade ändert. Dass 2026 für viele von uns das Jahr ist, in dem wir anfangen dürfen, aus unserer Höhle herauszutreten. Nicht mit Druck. Nicht mit Zwang. Sondern weil die Zeit einfach reif wird. Matthias und ich reden in dieser Podcast-Folge darüber – über das, was wir gerade wahrnehmen, was sich verändert, und warum wir glauben, dass die Pioniere gerade beginnen, sich zu zeigen.

BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/roomwherepod.bsky.social Discord: https://discord.gg/uTxewBrkA5 Website: https://roomwherepod.com/ Patreon: https://roomwherepod.cash While groups like Viletech are powerful for sure, there are still other forces, ones more just and moral, out in the Land of Erm. Take, for instance, the ranger of Bogwatch. They have patrolled the border of the Use Ta'Be Forrest as far back as when those trees stood, lush and green. While their order did see the lands changed, they still vowed to protect the people living in them, which nowadays means stopping raiding groups from bandits like the Red Boots. Though, while Bogwatch is brave and just, they are not of a single mind and rumor is there is some decent amongst the rangers.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   In this episode, Justin takes the opportunity of RISKWORLD 2026 to interview on-site two session co-presenters, Sandy Avina and Angel Guerra, and a fellow podcast host, Joel Appelbaum. Sandy and Angel co-wrote a book, Riskfetti: Risk Management for the Rest of Us, which comes out on May 18th. They discuss their careers, how they came to team up to write, and why this book, now. Justin and Joel discuss Joel's career in risk, from underwriter to Chief Content Officer at the International Risk Management Institute (IRMI) and podcast host of The Edge of Risk. Listen for thought leadership on communicating risk to business professionals and translating complex risk research into media content.   Key Takeaways: [:01] About RIMS and RIMScast.

[2:00] On with the Show! We are live on the exhibit floor at RISKWORLD 2026 at the Philadelphia Convention Center. There's a lot of great energy. That energy transferred from the stage to our booth! My first guests are from our LA RIMS Chapter, Sandy Avina and Angel Guerra. [2:23] Sandy and Angel co-presented the session on Tuesday, May 5th, "Between Truth and Trauma: Investigating the Invisible." RIMScast caught up with them right after they came off the stage to discuss the state of mental health claims and get a preview of their new book. [2:37] Sandy and Angel co-authored the book coming out on May 18th. It's called Riskfetti: Risk Management for the Rest of Us. We're going to have a lot of fun! Let's get to it! [2:44] Interview! Sandy Avina and Angel Guerra, Welcome to RIMScast! [2:58] Angel says this is her third RISKWORLD and she loves it! She last attended two years ago in San Diego. Sandy says this is her first time at RISKWORLD. She's trying to experience everything, and it's like trying to put ten pounds of sugar in a five-pound bag. She's getting there. [3:17] Sandy is The Riskfluencer on TikTok. [3:25] Angel has a business, Beauty and Beast in Business. [3:28] Together, Sandy and Angel make Riskfetti. [3:41] Angel started in the mailroom of SRS 20 years ago, moved through Claims, Operations Management, and Global Risk Management, and is now a VP at Arrowhead Evaluation, which does independent medical and risk consulting. [4:11] Angel's variety of experiences lets her see everything and gives her knowledge of risk management and the ability to manage a program well. [4:31] Right out of college, Sandy joined California's workers' compensation state fund as an adjuster. She loved it and started to learn other lines. She now works for California Schools JPA, a public risk pool supporting K-12 and community colleges. [4:54] Sandy leads the California Schools JPA claims program for property liability and workers' compensation. She loves it. [5:03] Sandy and Angel connected through LinkedIn. [5:25] Sandy and Angel presented a RISKWORLD session on developing the defense for psychological claims. Sandy says we're seeing the change in legislation for allowing mental-mental claims and not just physical-mental claims. [5:35] Dr. Ron Heredia was also on the panel. He spoke on how to crack defenses and properly investigate. There are red flags and also very truthful claims. As professionals, check your unconscious bias. Think about fact-finding without a specific agenda. [6:12] Justin points out that May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the U.S. Sandy partners wth Kind Souls Foundation, a non-profit that provides a warm, emotional support line for anybody with a work-displacing event. Sandy notes the struggles of the Sandwich Generation. [6:56] Angel says we see people are being a lot more open about mental health and self-care, but there's still a stigma to it. It's important to recognize that, not just in May, but throughout the year. [7:15] Justin mentions a guest from a couple of weeks ago who served in the Canadian military. He was very open about his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. They had a wonderful conversation about it. Justin doesn't want to bring it up if somebody doesn't want to talk about it. [7:40] Sandy says, when you have the conversations more often, and they're more open, people feel more comfortable bringing it up. [7:50] Sandy and Angel's session was "Between Truth and Trauma: Investigating the Invisible." Angel says a lot of people told them they were very happy with the session. They see increases in legislation that allow for more mental-mental claims, and it's a challenge to keep up. [8:11] Angel says having Dr. Ron Heredia with them gave a view of what it looks like from the employer's side. Are you investigating those claims, recognizing the importance of very clear documentation? If it's not in writing, it didn't happen. Have a doctor help with questions to ask. [8:43] Riskfetti: Risk Management for the Rest of Us is coming out on May 18th. Sandy says she and Angel both started in claims, and they found that a lot of employers they spoke to didn't know risk management. They didn't understand their coverage or insurance, or how it works. [9:12] Sandy says a lot of the education in the industry today is very academic and is meant for the risk managers. Employers are not going to go get their CPCU or take webinars on coverage or understanding endorsements. They assign someone else to do it. It's split in the organization. [9:35] Sandy says nobody is speaking to that audience from a layperson's perspective in a way they'll be receptive to. Sandy said we wanted to make that information accessible, so we created a book that is fun, engaging, and more accessible for business owners. [9:49] Angel says they used case studies, fun stories of claims they had managed or others had managed. It's very engaging. People say they've read the book and laughed. It's for HR Managers, Safety Managers, and CFOs, who don't understand insurance but have responsibility. [10:41] Angel's advice for beginning risk professionals: Find a community of individuals who are willing to support you and talk about the hard things and cheer you on when you're not sure if insurance or claims is where you want to be. It's not an easy industry, but a wonderful industry. [11:00] Sandy's advice for the young generation is to make content about this industry. If you are working in this industry, make your TikToks and post on socials. We need to hear from that generation. It democratizes the flow of information. They already do it for their personal life. [11:18] Sandy says, talk about your experience. I want to know what it's like for somebody coming into the industry right now. I know what it was like 23 years ago; I want to know what it's like now. That's the best way to get that information out there. We want to know those opinions. [11:40] Justin says, I love what you're doing. You've got a lot of great energy! Angel, Sandy, thank you so much for joining me on RIMScast. You were wonderful guests! I hope to see you again next year. [12:04] A Quick Break!

[13:44] The RIMS ERM Conference 2026 will be held on November 18th and 19th in Columbus, Ohio. Details will follow. [13:52] Our final guest is Joel Appelbaum, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer at IRMI, the International Risk Management Institute! Joel is the host of IRMI's podcast, The Edge of Risk. He was formerly a Chief Risk Officer. [14:10] We are going to talk all about our shared interests and the importance of risk management education, and some of the trends that are emerging, some that are overhyped, and what he's seeing on the risk landscape. Let's get to it! [14:23] Interview! Joel Appelbaum, Welcome to RIMScast! [14:28] Joel Appelbaum is the Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer for IRMI. Joel says he is used to asking the questions; he says it will be really cool to be asked the questions. [14:47] Joel is the host of The Edge of Risk. When they launched, six years ago, the idea was to come up with more relevant content, quickly, by talking to leaders. In the last year, it has grown by 60%. There's a need for insurance podcasts. It's still growing. [15:24] Justin notes that Elise Farnham was a recent guest. Elise teaches for RIMS. Justin says insurance podcasts share the same space, and there's some natural crossover. Justin and Joel sat together the day before at the main stage keynote. [15:53] Justin asks Joel about his having been an Enterprise Chief Risk Officer, when Enterprise Chief Risk Officers first came into vogue. He felt there were not a lot of resources for being a good ECRM, after coming from an underwriting background with CPCU and IRMI. [16:22] It was a challenging time. Joel cites Adam Grant's theme of low ego but honestly trying to help. Joel remembers bringing up to his boss that IT could be a risk, and being yelled at by his boss for about an hour for yellow-flagging IT. [16:53] Joel loves where Enterprise Risk Management has gone. It's necessary to identify risks in a positive way and deal with them proactively. [17:06] Joel says when it started, it was a rough job. Asking people what keeps them up at night, and sharing that with the board regularly, people weren't ready for it. It's a necessary and important job, but Joel found it to be one of the most challenging, alone on an island. [17:30] Joel thinks everyone who's been an Enterprise Chief Risk Officer or Risk Officer will tell you they do it with very few resources. Joel is glad to have an organization like RIMS to help. [17:50] Joel says he was in a lot of positions that IRMI serves. He was a Product Officer, an Enterprise Chief Risk Officer, a Chief Underwriting Officer, and a Chief Actuary. He did a lot of great things with a lot of great people. None of that prepared him to be a Chief Content Officer. [18:17] Being a Chief Content Officer is about writing and deep research. Joel works with people who research all day. [18:29] Joel learned that there's a disconnect between deep research and understanding coverage and analysis well, and practical insights and thought leadership for how it works in the real world. Parsing it and putting it together, and communicating it is the challenge. [18:53] Joel says it was a bit bumpy coming in and changing the way that IRMI approached things. Joel speaks of his joy of working for Jack Gibson at IRMI. [19:15] Joel says trying to put all the research into writing, keeping it up to date, making it useful, and changing it from just research to practical insights was challenging. It's been a great challenge, and he loves it. [19:29] Joel says he loves being at IRMI and working with people in the industry every day, trying to understand what they need. [20:16] Joel says he struggled with translating research into print, CE courses, and conferences. That takes time, and they need to be updated with the times, as well. A podcast can be simple. Yesterday, Justin and Joel came up with six or seven relevant questions and were ready to go. [20:48] Joel says podcasts fill the gap for the on-demand, necessary knowledge somebody might be seeking on the go. Joel's 30-something children listen to podcasts in the car or while they're exercising. You don't have to sit. Joel likes to do 20- or 30-minute Edge of Risk podcasts. [21:35] Joel says you can cover a very specific, timely topic. It doesn't take the effort of doing a research project or writing a book. Getting it to print takes time. If something changes in war, terrorism, or cyber, you can have a new podcast out in a day. [21:54] Justin says he finds it very gratifying when a guest's words on RIMScast are cited in a white paper. Seeing a reference to something he has done is very gratifying. Joel agrees. [22:10] Joel feels like it's such an honor to meet with thought leaders in the industry, sit down with them, and ask them questions. Joel says he gets great knowledge, meeting them, and learning a little bit about them personally. [22:43] Joel says it's gratifying when young professionals come up to him saying they know him from the podcast. Justin mentions people hearing him talking in the halls at RISKWORLD or RIMS events and recognizing him as the RIMScast guy or the webinar host guy. [23:26] Joel says AI has been a little overhyped. We all need to understand how to use it, but it isn't going to provide all the answers. A guest on his podcast told him at RISKWORLD they're going all in on AI for learning. [23:55] Joel says he gets that AI can be a quick fit for the answer you need. It's the right tool for the right time, but all risk managers know you have to have a lot of tools in your tool kit. AI doesn't replace foundational knowledge. [24:16] Joel's MBA helped him understand the other disciplines in the organization, to know when he was getting good information or bad information, and how to talk the language. [24:35] Joel believes that RIMS certifications and IRMI certifications help risk managers and insurance professionals understand the foundational knowledge. Then they know if they're getting a good answer from the AI. [24:50] Joel says that AI is trained on the internet. The internet has some flaws. Joel predicts AI will hit a learning curve. You're not getting the latest and greatest insights from RIMS or IRMI just writing a white paper on a new topic. Are you getting your AI from a reliable data source? [25:25] Joel advocates for using AI on IRMI material. They have an AI agent in beta now. IRMI has ReferenceConnect for its customers. AI is a good tool, but it's overhyped as a solution for everything. It's not going to solve all the problems. [26:00] It's a great tool if you're using it to gather data. Joel went to a great session at RISKWORLD with LineSlip about bringing all your different brokers' information together so you can get real insights. AI is a great tool to be used at the right place, at the right time. [26:23] You can't have it write all your letters because it doesn't sound like you. [26:37] Justin says an issue that's top of mind for him is PFAS, forever chemicals, because we need water to live. The second our water supply is bad, we've got much bigger problems. [26:52] Joel says Marsh did a presentation at an IRMI conference talking about how widespread the PFAS problem is. It should be on everybody's risk radar. Joel has put more filters in all of his houses. [27:21] Justin says Third-Party Litigation Funding is an emerging risk for RIMS. Joel has also done several podcasts on that. Liberty Mutual likes to call it Legal System Abuse. They had a great podcast on it with The Edge of Risk. [28:04] Joel says the concerning aspects are inflated awards and nuclear verdicts. ISO has introduced a new endorsement on disclosing third-party litigation funding. We've always needed tort reform. Joel thought that as an Enterprise Risk Manager, 20 years ago. [28:39] Joel says if you look at how all the other countries do it, the United States has a problem. It's really important to solve it. Insurance is a fundamental backstop and assistance to business. If the problem continues, insurers may start declining. How do you find solutions? [29:10] Joel thinks one of the solutions is to determine the appropriate amount of an award. Does $200 million make up for something where $2 million would suffice? [29:33] Justin says that he and Joel met up at the keynote with Adam Grant. They both enjoyed the keynote. Adam Grant spoke of unpleasant truths we may not want to hear. There's a difference between being loyal and being honest. [30:26] Joel doesn't have a problem delivering the unpleasant truths, but it has not always been great for his career. Joel says that in a lot of big corporate organizations, people want their allies with them. A new Chief Officer comes in and brings loyal friends with him. [30:54] Four or five years of being coddled later, the officer is gone. Joel worked for CNA for four different CEOs. Joel learned that integrity matters. He says if you communicate out of frustration or anger, it comes across wrong. [31:35] Joel says what he loved about Adam Grant's message is that people need to deliver the truth in a way that is kind and fair, and not fake. The people who tell you what you want to hear and that you're the greatest ever are the people you need to "get rid of." [32:08] Joel tells people that the knife gets sharper against the steel. Joel wants somebody who's sharpening the skill. He has to work harder for it. That's who he likes to surround himself with. Joel has his "board of governors" he goes to for help as a sounding board. [32:58] Leaders who surround themselves with yes-people are not going to last long. Justin asks about the compliment sandwich. Joel likes it if it doesn't come off as fake. Ask AI what's a fair way to deliver this, a compassionate way to give feedback. AI can give unbiased feedback. [33:45] Justin shares an experience where he successfully used AI to shorten and change the tone of an angry email message before he sent it. He was very pleased with the result, and the response was "OK." Joel admits he has delivered a lot of career-shortening emails. [34:44] AI should be thought of as a sounding board. Justin thinks the students coming into the profession probably already do so. Joel says certain types he has worked with don't handle negative feedback well from their peers. AI might be the best way for them to respond. [35:25] Joel has been to about 10 RISKWORLDs. He says the vibe this year is awesome. He feels there's a lot more opportunity for small connections. He loves the smaller talks. The conversation pods are great. There's always lots to learn, interesting people, and friends. [36:07] I love what you do at IRMI.

[3:08] Jeff is the Senior Vice President and Head of Global Risk Management at Prologis, a global leader in logistics real estate, with 1.3 billion square feet across 20 countries on four continents, and more than 6,500 customers focused on moving goods around the globe. [3:24] That is a lot of responsibility for one person, but don't worry, he's got a mighty team who shoulder it with him. [3:31] We're going to learn all about his work, the leaps and bounds he's made over the last 20 years, his involvement with the Spencer Educational Foundation, and what it takes to succeed in an increasingly uncertain world. We're going to have a lot of fun! Let's get to it! [3:46] Interview! RIMS 2026 Risk Manager of the Year, Jeff Bray, welcome to RIMScast! [4:07] Justin and Jeff met recently for his profile in RIMS Risk Management Magazine. [4:14] This episode is released on Day 1 of RISKWORLD. When people are listening to this, they might be seeing Jeff onstage accepting his award. Jeff says, first and foremost, he is looking forward to RISKWORLD; the award is a nice cherry on top. [4:37] Jeff is 20 years into his career, and he has only missed a few RISKWORLDs. [4:45] Jeff joined AMB Property Corporation in 2005, not knowing anything about risk management and knowing only environmental insurance, a few weeks before Hurricane Katrina. It was trial by fire. Then, Hurricane Rita and Hurricane Wilma hit. It was a transformational year. [5:34] There were two years in a row of serious hurricanes affecting the property insurance market. The challenges AMB had experienced transformed the way the insurance and risk management program has been run ever since. [6:02] AMB merged with Prologis a few years later, following a great financial crisis that occurred in June 2011. [6:32] Jeff says Prologis is an owner of logistics real estate. They don't operate any of the buildings. Jeff's purview is the 1.3 billion square feet of real estate in 20 countries, with around 60,000 assets. [6:47] Prologis has a couple of billion dollars a year of development activity. They have a renewable energy business and a digital infrastructure. [7:32] Jeff says it's critical to see properties first-hand. Warehouses are different in different countries, and seeing them helps solve problems when they arrive. Early on, he attended a captive owners conference in Bermuda, and meeting many peers accelerated his learning. [9:03] Through serving the business, Jeff built trust with senior leaders and the board. Jeff started by figuring out what people wanted or needed and helped them achieve it. He built strong relationships with every group; he's in lockstep with legal, finance, and business teams. [10:33] Jeff's risk team has seven members. He also has two members of the corporate security team. He has worked hard to grow the team as needed. He sees an opportunity with technology to scale the team's capabilities to focus on critical tasks. He's grateful for the team's efforts. [11:49] Risk management is centralized at Prologis. They operate as a consistent global program. Jeff is in San Francisco, with team members in the Bay Area, Denver, and one in Dallas. [12:45] Jeff says he takes advantage of every crisis and pays close attention to every near-miss. It's a reminder that this is why what we do is important. Sometimes it's all hands on deck. What can we do differently next time? [13:35] One big near-miss was a fire that arose from customer operations in a building, which didn't amount to much because the sprinklers operated properly. Jeff participates in Prologis's global safety board. They pay close attention to anything like a contractor injury. [14:06] June is National Safety Month. The Head of Safety of Prologis's Development Team plans Safety Month activities. Every project and team member will be involved. It sends a good message. They make it very clear to every contractor they hire that safety is paramount. [14:49] Justin says the leader of the ASSP will soon be a guest on RIMScast. Safety should be observed every month. Jeff says in the past, safety was something they focused more on when something happened, but now it's ingrained in the way they operate. It's not treated separately. [15:44] Jeff reestablished Prologis's ERM program. His ERM Committee is a sounding board with seven or eight global leads. The members are the Head of Internal Audit, the Head of Info Security, and others, who work closely across the risk register to ask, "What are we missing?" [17:14] The challenge in reactivating the ERM committee was getting the relevance right. For the first meeting or so, they brainstormed. Now it's operating at the right frequency with the right dynamic input. It will continue to evolve in every meeting. [17:55] They meet annually with the Audit Committee, and some years they meet with the Board of Directors. It evolves from the day-to-day Risk Register, working with the business teams. The Audit Committee and the Board are very invested in what the ERM Committee does. [18:34] ERM at Prologis is tied to what's relevant to the CFO, the Chief Legal Officer, and other stakeholders. With the CFO, it's tied to earnings per share and net operating income impact. Jeff is always looking at what the business is looking to accomplish and how ERM can support it. [19:17] A Quick Break!

[21:24] Justin asks what Jeff loves about RISKWORLD. Jeff loves the people, the interactions in the hallways, even when racing from session to session, and meeting to meeting. There's no better place to meet people and build meaningful relationships over the years. [21:45] Jeff says there's no better place to get apprised of what's coming up in the risk industry and reconnect with our most important relationships. [22:17] Jeff says RISKWORLD is a connection point where a group of risk professionals from around the country can get together. [22:31] Jeff's team members, the Head of Risk and the Head of Claims, have attended RISKWORLD for the last few years. [23:07] Justin asks about cross-functional risk management. Jeff says that he can't imagine a problem crossing their desk that Risk Management can solve solely by themselves, figure out, and move on. Generally, they will engage Legal, HR, and the Business Teams. [23:28] Jeff says that's hugely important to be able to solve problems effectively, and in a way that enables the business. [23:55] Jeff thinks the perspective on risk has changed over time. The needs have changed over time. At the beginning of his time at AMB and Prologis, there was a focus on insurance because they were expanding to new countries and standing up a global program. [24:17] Within 90 days, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma hit, and Jeff was learning about disaster recovery and response. He saw the teams in action and how it can be a competitive advantage if they can get their properties up and running quicker than someone else. [24:37] That's absolutely a competitive advantage to Prologis, and that's been in their DNA ever since. [24:53] Justin asks about Jeff's dashboard. It's a Claims dashboard, created by the Claims team, so Jeff can look at the Claims activity every day. [25:16] Jeff says Prologis retains a bunch of risk itself. It's Prologis's money. It concerns not only Jeff, but also the Finance Team and others. None of them likes surprises. Jeff manages it like a business, managing actual claims against the forecast. [25:53] Jeff says it's been phenomenal. He's asking for more dashboards! [26:08] Jeff discusses the impacts of technological innovation on his role. One of the biggest pieces was onboarding Archipelago, a tool to intake Statement of Value information and other property characteristics and deliver it to an insurance company in a reliable and verifiable way. [26:33] Jeff says during that period, they went through $40 to $50 billion of acquisitions, so Archipelago was a game-changer in a way that insurance companies couldn't believe. [26:48] Prologis would bring on a portfolio in September and was ready for its December renewals with the full Schedule of Values. Jeff says it was about, "What questions am I asking myself, and how do we solve for that?" [27:03] Jeff was looking beyond the Cap Modeling results to what other information he could get out of the data, from the newness of the assets, different specifications, and different protections in place, and quantifying that in a way that was meaningful for the insurers. [27:25] When Prologis onboarded Archipelago, there weren't any other systems available to do what was needed. They were developing something that hadn't been in place yet. Prologis was part of the development team. [27:43] Jeff says the Claims dashboard is driven by Origami, which has been an important partner of Prologis. [27:55] Prologis has always been focused on the combination of good data and leveraging technologies to interpret that data. That's been very important to Prologis. [28:15] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period is now open, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [28:42] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [28:57] General Grant applications will open on May 1st, 2026, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [20:08] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [29:17] Let's Conclude Our Interview with RIMS 2026 Risk Manager of the Year, Jeff Bray! [29:43] Jeff says the younger risk professionals are absolutely more well-versed in technology. The challenge is not to let technology become more important than understanding the basics of the business. [30:00] Jeff says you still need to understand what that policy says and what the submission process looks like, so you can get the right outcomes out of the technology. Most of the folks Jeff works with are younger than he is. [30:21] Jeff says what they're doing with AI, dashboards, and other insights is super impressive. They balance that with learning the fundamentals. [30:47] In a new risk professional, Jeff looks first for curiosity and questions. When Jeff hit stagnant parts of his career, he had stopped asking questions, so today, he asks a lot of questions. Curiosity is key to investigating what's happening in the company to solve problems. [31:18] Jeff says connecting the dots is something he still works on today. We live in a complex world. There's generally not one threat or risk that operates in a silo. Risks are connected. Someone who can understand how different risks might be interconnected will be critical. [31:43] Jeff says that being hungry, learning, and striving to do more than the person who started next to you is more important than ever. [32:06] Jeff says polycrisis is an interesting term, and he fully believes in it. He spends a fair amount of time thinking about what he has control over and what he doesn't have control over. Jeff says Prologis doesn't let the polycrisis drive its strategy on a day-to-day basis. [32:45] Jeff says awareness is key, and knowing how you can respond as an organization. [33:02] On mitigation and navigation, Jeff says, it's like being on defense versus offense. Risk mitigation works if it's a very simple solution. Putting a floodwall in a building to prevent flooding is a great mitigation.  [33:15] Most risks are not that simple, and they require navigation. They require keeping options open and multiple solutions. Navigation lends itself to how risks evolve and how we respond to those risks. [33:40] Jeff says Prologis is an owner of 1.3 billion square feet of real estate, with two to three percent of the world's GDP flowing through its buildings. Supply chain resilience is key. Prologis focuses on climate risk, but Jeff wants to look at it from more of a resilience perspective. [34:04] Jeff's perspective is about what Prologis should be worrying about, and how that affects how they build a building and how they operate an asset. Climate risk is front-of-mind to this day for many of Prologis's investors. [34:17] Investors want to know what Porlogis is doing about things and how they are looking at exposures. So Prologis has always tried to be on the front end of that discussion with investors. The decisions Prologis makes just need to make good business sense. [34:41] As long as Prologis can communicate, this is a concern, and this is how it translates into a business impact or impacts performance. That remains key, and we are in an environment that is evolving in frequency and severity. It's something Prologis pays close attention to. [35:16] Solar panels are part of Prologis's sustainability goals. Thicker rooftops are needed. Solar panels affect how air conditioning is used and the temperature levels within a building. It affects how Prologis might construct the building to have a better working environment. [35:51] Jeff says it all ties together, which comes back to a more resilient and better-performing portfolio. [36:00] Justin asks about earthquake resilience for new construction. Prologis has a lot of property on the California coast and has been focused on earthquake risk for the life of the company, doing voluntary retro-fittings and seismic upgrades. [36:33] That's not to get reduced insurance premiums but to take steps to reduce interruptions that may occur for Prologis's customers' activities when an earthquake does arise. It's about taking Prologis's objectives and aligning them with the business, not to save premiums. [37:16] Jeff is very excited by the level of abilities he sees in college students. He was recently at Old Dominion for Risk Manager on Campus. This industry has an amazing amount of opportunity. Risk is at the crossroads of finance, operations, legal issues, and HR. [38:27] Jeff's words to students and aspiring risk professionals: "There's an incredible amount of opportunity. What risk strategy means today is very different than what it meant 15 years ago. It's a hidden gem of an industry, still today." [38:44] Justin congratulates Jeff on being named RIMS Risk Manager of the Year 2026. Nobody accomplishes anything by themselves. Is there anyone you want to thank? Jeff says thanking a whole host of folks might take its own podcast. [38:59] Jeff thanks his team across Risk, Resilience, and Claims, and the deep bench of external risk advisors, from broker placement to consulting, technology partnerships, and the insurers. He couldn't do this without all of those team members. He's very grateful for it all. [39:49] Justin says, I look forward to meeting you and seeing you up onstage and cheering you on. I hope we can continue to stay in touch because you've got so much knowledge to share with the global risk community, here through RIMScast. Thank you so much for your time! [40:16] Special thanks again to Jeff Bray, the 2026 RIMS Risk Leader of the Year. We are delighted for him and congratulate him once again.

Schwere Beine, müder Kopf - wir alle kennen das Gefühl der Erschöpfung beim Laufen. Doch ist Ermüdung ein Warnsignal oder setzen wir damit sogar bessere Trainingsreize? Diese Frage klären wir mit PD Dr. Matthias Weippert, Sportwissenschaftler der Uni Rostock. Matthias erklärt das Phänomen Fatigue und beleuchtet kontroverse Ansätze wie Training mit Vorermüdung. Außerdem nehmen wir gängige "Anti-Fatigue-Techniken" wie Carb-Rinsing oder den guten, alten "Kaffee vor'm Lauf" wissenschaftlich unter die Lupe.(00:01:37) - Intro Ende(00:12:56) - "Fatigue": Wie entsteht Ermüdung?(00:19:44) - Akute vs. chronische Ermüdung(00:24:48) - Wie messbar ist Ermüdung?(00:36:45) - Bestimmt Fatigue meinen Trainingeffekt?(00:47:20) - Neue Einheit trotz Vorermüdung?(00:58:53) - Wachmacher Koffein: Hilft Kaffee gegen die Fatigue?(01:11:14) - Ermüdung durch zu wenig Kohlenhydrate(01:17:41) - Mehr Schlaf = weniger Fatigue?(01:22:22) - Supplements gegen Ermüdung?Hier geht's zur Universität Rostock: https://www.isportwi.uni-rostock.de/en/institut/mitarbeitende/wissenschaftliches-personal/matthias-weippert/Hier findest du Matthias auf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pd-dr-phil-habil-matthias-weippert-5bb15585/Hier findest du Matthias' Forschungsarbeit auf ResearchGate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Matthias-WeippertFoto: Matthias WeippertMusik: The Artisian Beat - Man of the CenturyHier findest du alle aktuellen Rabatt-Aktionen von unseren Werbepartner:innen!➡ Die Produkt-Serien von Ryzon – und was uns bei Sportbekleidung wichtig istRyzon ist die Sportbekleidungsmarke für alle, die Ausdauer leben – beim Laufen, auf dem Rad oder beim Triathlon.

Am schlimmsten war ihre Haut in der Zeit, in der sie sich vegan ernährte – zeitweise sogar als Frutarierin, als sie fast ausschließlich Obst zu sich nahm. Eines Tages traf sie eine radikale Entscheidung: Sie ging in den Supermarkt, ließ alle Ernährungsregeln los und wollte nur noch auf ihren Körper hören. Beim intuitiven Essen griff sie plötzlich zu Fleisch – und merkte zum ersten Mal, wonach ihr Körper sich wirklich sehnte.Auf ihrer weiteren Reise stieß sie auf die Raw-Primal-Szene und aß zunächst fast nur rohes Fleisch, Rohmilchprodukte sowie rohes Obst und Gemüse. Parallel dazu litt sie jedoch unter einer Essstörung mit starken Binge-Attacken. Heute versteht Thea, dass ihr Körper in dieser Zeit schlicht nach Nährstoffen geschrien hat: Sie war massiv unterversorgt, hatte ständig Gelüste und fühlte sich nie wirklich satt. Mit Obst geht sie inzwischen bewusster um, weil sie erkannt hat, dass der süße Geschmack bei ihr nach wie vor Essanfälle triggern kann.Seid gespannt auf den Podcast – Theas Geschichte zeigt eindrücklich, wie sie über intuitives Essen Schritt für Schritt herausgefunden hat, was ihr Körper wirklich braucht. _______ Fleischzeit ist der erste deutschsprachige Podcast rund um die carnivore Ernährung.

When the Office of Management and Budget decided to remove the specific section on enterprise risk management from Circular A-123, Eric Ueland, the deputy director for management, received some direct feedback. For more on why Ueland says the ERM community's unhappiness with OMB's decision is overblown, Federal News Network executive editor Jason Miller joins me now with details.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our guests are Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow. As members of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council, they co-authored the new RIMS Executive Report, "Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights that Matter." [2:24] Co-authored by Joe Pugh of the AARP, a RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council member, the report provides practical insights and guidance to risk practitioners who report to their organization's board of directors or overarching governance committees. [2:38] The report provides guidance on aligning this reporting with the board's role and expectations, the steps that should be taken to sustain the alignment, and how to ensure reporting provides the board with the appropriate level of detail. [2:52] The link to the report is available in this episode's show notes. You can also visit the Risk Knowledge section of RIMS.org. If you like what you read and you like what you hear today, be sure to hear Patricia and Joe at RISKWORLD on May 6th at 11:30 a.m. in Room 119-AB. [3:11] They will extend the dialog with the session "From Risk Aware to Risk Savvy: Elevating Board-Level Risk Reporting and Engagement." It will undoubtedly be a fantastic session! [3:21] Let's talk about board reporting right now! [3:23] Interview! Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow, welcome back to RIMScast! [3:31] Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow have been carrying the torch for the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council at RIMS for years. Now, they are rejoining us on RIMScast. It's a delight to welcome them both back. [3:57] The new RIMS Executive Report, "Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights that Matter," was co-authored by Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow, with Joe Pugh, who is also on the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. [4:15] This paper is available for a limited time exclusively to RIMS members. It will then be open to the public. There's a lot of great information in it, and it gets right to the point. [4:40] Research shows that while many risk professionals believe their reporting supports board decision-making, most boards are still asking for more information and deeper analysis. [4:47] Trisha says, boards are becoming more interested in understanding the risk profile of the organization, what's being done, and how leadership is managing risk, because we are in a complex time. There are so many risks that are not internal. [5:33] The board is asking: How do we look at this, how can we manage what we can, and prepare for and respond to those things that we can't manage, but that could come and hit us? [5:47] Boards are more interested. They have regulatory concerns and requirements, potential liability, and things of that nature. [6:07] Suzanne agrees with Trisha about the complexity in our post-COVID world with the interconnectedness of risks and the unexpected. Regarding the pace of change, Suzanne says hang onto your seats right now, particularly with AI! [6:30] Boards serve a lot of constituents and stakeholders, and they're feeling pressure. They're looking for more insightful analysis. The report gets into how to figure out what is insightful to a board. Justin notes that each board will have a different definition of insightful. [6:58] One board can change over time as different board members bring different dynamics and expectations to the board. The paper has a point about keeping pace with the board. [7:18] The paper makes the point that effective board reporting is not about what risk teams want to say but about what boards need to hear. [7:43] Suzanne breaks down the difference between the need that the board knows and understands, and articulates, and the things they should also know, to be good board members. That takes exploration. There are things the board might not know to ask. [8:10] Risk professionals have knowledge and context. They need to lean in and say, "You're asking for this, and that's super important, but in addition, here are some other things to be aware of." You need to start with a mutual understanding. There's a process to go through. [8:31] Trisha says the risk practitioner has the largest view of the risk profile of the organization. The board is thinking more of strategic goals and objectives, but they do want to know about the risk. Board risk reporting is a matter of working to connect strategy with risk management. [9:07] The risk practitioner can develop a culture of discussion and openness to discuss risks, mitigations, and possible blind spots. [9:26] Suzanne says one of the primary roles of the board is to make sure the firm has the right strategy and they're executing it appropriately. The biggest risk to the board is becoming irrelevant to constituents and clients. Not all key risks to the organization are equal to the board. [9:59] The board spends more time on the strategic risks. When reporting, you can't forget the operating risks. You can summarize them as "Here are some things to look at that we've got covered. So, let's spend more time over here." [10:46] If you don't first build alignment with executive management before engaging with the board, Suzanne says you'll end up with a modern-day Babylon. You won't end up with support from the key risk owners on the strategic side. The owners of the risk are the decision-makers. [11:02] The decision-makers are management and executive management. It has to be their story, and they have to buy in. Risk practitioners are the facilitators to create that alignment so those conversations can be robust, open, and transparent. [11:44] Trisha says the executive leadership team (ELT) is the liaison and connection to the board. Most risk practitioners may not be in all of the board meetings or interacting with the board regularly. The executive leaders probably are. [12:05] The ELT can bridge the gap. They have the relationships and know the personalities of the board members. They understand how the board likes to receive information and can help the risk practitioner develop reports in that way. They can open the line of communication more. [12:28] Trisha says that in her previous work for DFW Airport and others, they did this through the structure of the Enterprise Risk Management program, having a risk council report periodically to the ELT, so they have the information and can go forth with it. [13:17] Suzanne says the best practice is to spend some prep time to get some baseline knowledge and level-setting across, so when you go into those meetings, the conversations will be richer. You're not educating. You're getting right to what you want to focus on in your report. [13:58] There are different methods for doing that, depending on the organization, with its aptitude and appetite. You can do it in a pre-conversation setting, starting with the ELT, so that they're part of that conversation, helping to drive it. That is ideal. [14:21] A Quick Break! RISKWORLD 2026 will be held from May 3rd through the 6th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. RISKWORLD attracts more than 10,000 risk professionals from across the globe. It's time to Connect, Cultivate, and Collaborate with them. [14:41] Public registration is open, and booth sales are still available.

He is an organizational psychologist, best-selling author, and a leading influential management thinker. [14:59] The excitement continues with the announcement of the closing keynote speaker. NFL Hall of Famer, Super Bowl Champion, Emmy-winning broadcaster, and entrepreneur Michael Strahan will be on the main stage on May 6th. Justin is super stoked! [15:15] If you're still on the fence, this is the time to smash that Register button and hear from one of the all-time greats. [15:23] The RIMS Western Regional Conference will be held from October 4th through the 7th in Seattle, Washington. Registration is open, and you can also submit a session. Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and the link in this episode's show notes for more information. [15:42] Let's Return to Our Interview with Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow! [16:10] Suzanne says you want to exude confidence when you initiate a risk dialogue with executive leaders and the board, but you don't want to look so buttoned-up that when something does go bump, they look at you and say they thought you had that covered. [16:42] Trisha says it's very important to build those relationships as you can, so you have direct knowledge of the primary stakeholders you are working with, and so you can communicate better with them and provide good, insightful tidbits of knowledge. [17:10] Boards are to maintain oversight and not get down into the management level. [17:22] Suzanne says good reputational risk management establishes credibility up front, without appearing confident that you can prevent every risk from happening. Something big could happen. You need a good business crisis plan. The board could be involved in a crisis. [18:26] Boards need to be risk savvy, not just risk-aware. The educational part is helping the board understand the organization and the key risks to it. Then they need to be actively engaged so they're asking better questions and leveraging that knowledge to make better decisions. [18:44] That's the evolution you're working on. It's ideal to do some of the educational work up front so you don't have to do it in real-time. It helps to get quickly to the risk-savvy, better decision-making piece. [19:12] Trisha explains the difference between being risk-informed and risk savvy. When you learn risk at the basic level, you know the nuts and bolts. Becoming risk savvy is understanding how it all integrates together. How do we start seeing what risks are interconnected? [19:40] Trisha asks how we see how the external factors that we face in the world could impact our strategic goals and initiatives. You need to mitigate risks, plan, and prepare for them, and think through your overarching organizational resiliency. [20:07] The risk practitioner doesn't just present a list of risks and mitigation plans. They say, here's what we're seeing and how this could impact that. Here are the systemic issues, and talk about what we are doing from that larger perspective. [20:32] Suzanne thinks it's important not to be backward-looking but to have foresight and look around the corner at what's ahead and ask how we can be more nimble as we charge forward. How can we adapt better to the new environment and manage risks in real-time? [20:53] That all helps to build foresight and the ability to think about what could go awry, or what new opportunity we need to take to achieve our goals. These are important points to being risk savvy. [21:29] Suzanne says in some organizations, board reporting is not happening. There is zero cadence. Some organizations report almost quarterly. In those cases, is the board providing oversight or management? [22:06] Consider how much information and what you are reporting; insights beat volume. What are the insights you need the board to know? Determine the level of information the executive team, the audit compliance committee, and the full board need. It's organization-specific. [22:47] Trisha addresses information overload. If you can get some pre-read out there, so that you can then have a conversation, that's ideal. Think about what decisions they need to make to know what information they will need to have in hand to make those decisions. [23:14] The decisions that are being made are different, depending on the group you are reporting to. Strategic decisions are going to need this information; operational decisions will need this other information. [23:39] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period opened on April 1st, 2026, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [24:00] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [24:15] General Grant applications will open on May 1st, 2026, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [24:27] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [24:36] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow! [25:21] Justin asks about rightsizing, in terms of reporting. Suzanne says there is a set of goals or objectives behind right-sizing. When you get to the objectives, you can think about how you rightsize for those objectives. What do they need to know to make those decisions? [25:59] Trisha agrees. It goes back to understanding the audience and what they like to see, and saying, here are things that we need decisions on, or we need your thought process on. [26:21] Trisha has two sessions on Wednesday, May 6th, at RISKWORLD. The first one is with Katrina Gilbert from the DFW Chapter, "Kickoff to Resilience: A Case Study in Risk Management Strategies for Major Event Planning," from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. [26:49] Fifteen minutes later, Trisha will present "From Risk Aware to Risk Savvy: Elevating Board Level Risk Reporting and Engagement," with co-author Joe Pugh from AARP. [27:12] Trisha says there's a responsibility on the board to know that the program is operating as it should, it's bubbling up information that should be bubbled up, they're getting exception reporting, and they have confidence that it's coming their way; it's not haphazard. [27:44] There is a little bit of time that has to be spent talking about the program and how the board can have confidence in it. It doesn't have to be a long story. It's "Here's what we're focused on. Here's how we know we're good. We've done a benchmark. We know we keep it current." [24:12] Suzanne says you want to enable informed oversight. You want to think through what they would need so that they can provide oversight to you. [28:18] You need forward thinking, looking at not only what's happening now, but also at what the potential emerging risks are. What are we watching for? How are we preparing for those things? Work to engage the board as you go forward. [28:33] Trisha says to get feedback on an ongoing basis. It's helpful to do annual surveys, but it's also asking in real-time, "Does this make sense; are you getting what you need?" [28:49] You can tell, based on the engagement, the level of discussion, and their questions. They should be asking insightful questions. That allows you to tell a deeper story because they're obviously interested in it. It's not a one-and-done. [29:30] Trisha says it's an honor to be able to speak at RISKWORLD or any RIMS event. She thanks the RIMS team, the SERMC, and others across the committees that selected the sessions. She is really excited to have the opportunity to do both sessions. [29:51] The "Large Event Planning" session will focus on what the DFW Airport has done to prepare for the FIFA World Cup, considering what it looks like to apply enterprise risk management to something of this magnitude and scale. [30:11] Katrina will do a case study, and Trisha will talk about higher-level issues. [30:17] The "Board Reporting" session will showcase the executive report just published that she co-authored. Trisha's excited. She understands her commute is just next door, which helps a lot since they are just 15 minutes apart. [30:43] Justin says we appreciate both of you for all the contributions you've made to RIMS through the years. I look forward to seeing you at RISKWORLD. Thank you for being such wonderful champions of the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council here at RIMS!

In this episode of URMIA Matters, guest host Caitlin Cai from the University of Tennessee is joined by Lavern Miles and Kathy Peeling from the University of Maryland, College Park, and Melanie Bennett from United Educators for a focused, practical conversation on Enterprise Risk Management for those just starting out. The episode presents ERM as a shared, ongoing process for identifying, prioritizing, and managing institution‑wide risks, with strong emphasis on leadership support, clear communication, and campus engagement. Using real‑world experience from the higher‑ed community, our guests discuss how ERM can move beyond compliance to support better decision‑making by connecting risk to strategy, using data and monitoring to guide action, and leveraging peer networks and professional resources to build programs that grow and adapt over time. Whether you are brand new to ERM or looking to strengthen an existing approach, this episode offers clear insights and relatable examples to help you get started with confidence.

In this episode of Masters of Risk, host Stewart Webster sits down with Chrystina Howard, ERM leader for the Complex Risk Practice at HUB International, to explore how enterprise risk management is transforming in an era defined by volatility, interdependence, and systemic shocks. Chrystina brings decades of experience at the intersection of insurance, strategy, and complex risk, helping organizations navigate everything from geopolitical tensions and climate extremes to cyber escalation and workforce instability. Together, Stewart and Chrystina examine why ERM can no longer be treated as a compliance exercise and how leading organizations are using it as a strategic capability, one that unifies risk awareness, drives resilience, and strengthens competitive advantage. Their conversation spans the full risk horizon: alternative risk financing, the resurgence of parametric insurance, global regulatory pressures, the fragility of traditional insurance markets, and the critical role of culture in building risk‑mature organizations. Chrystina also shares a candid look at the risks keeping leaders up at night, from escalating cyber threats to declining employee wellness, and explains why the organizations positioned to thrive aren't the ones predicting every disruption, but the ones preparing to adapt to any disruption. A must-listen for executives seeking to modernize their approach to risk and unlock the full potential of ERM in a world where crises rarely occur alone.

Not just the great technological advances from the companies, the most powerful of which is VileTech Wholesome Home Goods, but in where they live. Many small towns and hamlets were greatly impacted from the Gloom King, and their remaining residents found their way into the cities of Erm. There they found work in factories and offices run by the companies, further relying on them for their everyday needs.

In this episode, ERM Partners Andrew Probert, Amy McDonald, and Todd Hall join host Mark Lee to explore how the current Iran War and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are reshaping the global energy landscape. They examine what this means for energy security, interest rates, and capital project decisions, and how it could either slow or accelerate the low-carbon transition. The conversation highlights how policy choices, financing conditions, and supply chain vulnerabilities can turn conflict into either a setback or a catalyst for greener, more resilient systems. Their conversation covers: Initial reactions to the Strait of Hormuz closure  Geopolitics, energy markets, and emerging pressure points Regional policy realities: U.S., Europe, and APACHow lenders and corporate leaders are responding Related content:"The 2026 Middle East War Could Accelerate the Green Transition.
