I am so excited to present an interview with our guest today, John Hagel! He will deliver the opening keynote address at the RIMS ERM Conference 2024. It's titled Embracing Change to Manage Risk. [2:37] John is a visionary with more than 40 years of experience as a management consultant, entrepreneur, and thought leader in Silicon Valley. He will kick off our conference, exploring how technological innovation is transforming the global economy, society, and the risk landscape. [2:55] John will also explore how these concepts will influence and intersect with three critical risk tenets: strategy alignment, culture and accountability, and risk capabilities. There's so much to discuss. Let's get to it! [3:09] John Hagel, welcome to RIMScast! John joins a long line of impactful keynote speakers for the RIMS ERM Conference. He is excited about it! [3:54] John was drawn to Silicon Valley decades ago because of the sense of optimism and the energy around addressing opportunities in the future and also because it's the seedbed of some amazing digital technology. [4:17] John founded a couple of tech startups. He was a senior executive with Atari in the video game business from 1982 to 1984, a partner at McKinsey & Company, helping found their Silicon Valley office, and led a research center at Deloitte, called the Center for the Edge. [5:20] Atari provided an opportunity for young people to get into digital technology. [6:09] John talks about the risks in technology over the years. Digital technology is improving exponentially over time. What's competitive today becomes obsolete a couple of days from now or years from now. [6:27] John has done a lot of work around what he calls the big shift, or the long-term forces that are redefining the global economy and society. On one side, the big shift creates mounting performance pressure, the competition intensifies and the pace of change accelerates. [6:46] A small event in a faraway place quickly becomes a globally disruptive event. There's a lot of risk from the mounting performance pressure. One of the consequences of all this is that it increases the risk of the status quo. Doing what you've done before becomes more risky. [7:24] At the same time, the big shift is creating exponentially expanding opportunity, with far more value at far less resource, far more quickly. It decreases the risk of creating exponential value. [8:14] John believes the most disruptive trend over the past years has been customers becoming more powerful with access to more information. They use that information to find someone much more effective at addressing their needs. They're becoming less trusting. [8:44] John sees trust eroding in large institutions around the world. That's disruptive, as large institutions want and need trust but they're losing it. This is business-to-business trust. It is being lost because of the spreading emotion of fear. [10:35] In Silicon Valley, John had the opportunity to work with some of the most successful technology companies. He found that they have a different approach to strategy than most traditional organizations. John is a strong proponent of the value of this approach. [10:56] This different approach is called Zoom Out-Zoom In. Zoom out 10 to 20 years; what's the really big opportunity we could be pursuing? Zoom in; what can we do in the next six to 12  months to help us accelerate our movement toward that opportunity? [11:25] Companies that pursue the Zoom In-Zoom-Out strategy focus on the risk of not acting. They move forward but don't try to do massive 10-year projects. They do something in the next six months that can help them learn faster what's required to achieve the opportunity at low risk. [12:16] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! On October 10th, Zurich returns to present Long-Term Property Strategies for a Resilient Future.

That is achieved, in part, by a collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada.

Awardees are typically notified at the beginning of December. A link to the Internship Grants page is in this episode's show notes. [15:40] Back to My Interview with RIMS ERM Conference 2024 Keynote Speaker, John Hagel! John loves Boston. He loves the combination of incredible history and all the universities there. It's got a youthful culture; the combination of age and youth makes it interesting. [16:38] For six years, John lived in Boston. For four of those years, he was in a graduate program for both an MBA and a JD from Harvard. He was recruited by Boston Consulting Group to be a consultant and spent two years there. He just didn't like the cold winters and hot summers. [17:30] Justin describes the emergence of the RIMS Risk Maturity Model. It serves as a template or guide for how effective ERM can be run. A link to it is on this page. John took the model. It was challenging for him as a solo practitioner; it was hard to apply five pillars to an individual. [18:15] John found the five pillars and the different levels of maturity enlightening. The model shows the complexity of ERM. It's not just one pillar and one stage. In terms of maturity, it's a set of stages. John particularly likes the emphasis on continuous cycles of improvement. [19:05] John also liked that at the highest level, the focus was future-oriented decision-making, encouraging and helping people to look ahead to future opportunities and risks. The model helps leaders to see that ERM is a continuously improving cycle. [19:48] No matter how good an ERM program is at any time, there is more to come. John likes the focus on the future and the emphasis on continuous learning. We must learn constantly and never assume we're experts with all the answers. There are more questions that need answers. [20:15] The five pillars John mentioned are Strategy Alignment, Culture & Accountability, Risk Management Capabilities, Risk Governance, and Analytics. [20:44] John's opening keynote address will cover his research on how the world is changing and the implications for risk management, the big shift with mounting performance pressures as a key factor. He will discuss the new approach to strategy as old approaches are challenged. [21:24] We need to step back and reflect on what strategy is going to help us manage risk more effectively. We're in a time when fundamental transformation is essential. He will talk about the role of AI in ERM as a catalyst for change. [22:08] John will focus on three pillars of the RIMS Risk Maturity Model: Strategy Alignment, Culture & Accountability, and Risk Management Capabilities and how to address them in the rapidly changing world. John will have no visuals. He encourages audience interaction. [23:14] Justin emphasizes there will be some Q&A time at the end of the session, and that people should take notes during the address. Please come prepared with questions that can enhance the audience's knowledge. [24:09] John warns against underestimating the risk of continuing as you are and focusing just on the present. Look into the future to see how risks may be changing over time. In addition to internal risks, look for ways to reduce the risks to your stakeholders, customers, and suppliers. [25:00] John sees a positive trend of understanding that as the world is changing, more opportunity is emerging. Explore the opportunity. Understanding how technological innovation transforms our opportunities and risks becomes critical. [25:26] John, we look forward to seeing you on the morning of November 18th in Boston, kicking off our RIMS ERM Conference 2024. You're going to explain how to embrace change through innovation and the psychology of change. Anyone in risk management will take away a lot!

So this week we’re going to review some simple but highly effective little hacks as well as some really well thought out and proven higher level strategies and tactics for getting the very most out of a new year.  This will be jam packed because it’s a quick review of many past shows on how to achieve more and to be more.   So be sure to listen to the podcast for our shows on OODA Loop, Setting Better Goals, and Goals vs. Systems for more in depth discussions of each. And we’re doing this four weeks ahead for a reason. No matter what you’re doing, it pays to plan ahead but with deadlines.  So that the time doesn’t expand to fill the entire period. STRATEGY:  Block Time To Do This And Other Things That Matter While Avoiding Time Creep TACTIC: So we’re going to start by getting you to get out your calendar right now…or make a note so that as soon as the show is over you’ll block the time to do three things BEFORE the end of the year and for a few after the start.   https://www.successtechnologies.com/2014/08/success-through-respect-for-time-the-magic-of-triggering-the-valuable-time-meta-program/ BEFORE year end…block time to do some high level thinking and a few exercises we’re going to give you. You’ll need at least an hour for the first.  A half an hour for the second, and a half an hour for the third. Does that feel like too much time?   Well, if you can’t invest two hour this month in getting the very most out of next year in your business and in your life than you’re probably going to have real problems. You have to make higher level thinking a priority and you have to diary and block time and then defends it. So commit right now to that.  It will make an amazing difference. Now for after the new year… Block at least two hours each week to do something that you want to do.  Block it now.  You’re going to need to defend it…  Why? Now and in the next three sessions on your own: What do I really want? Business and Life Who would I need to be to have that? Business/Life What resources do I need to make it inevitable that I’d have that or more by the date selected or sooner? Business/Life STRATEGY:  Know who your best clients really are, what they fear and value.  How they communicate, the language that they use and where they go for trusted information Tactics:  Ask them more and more often.  Make them more offers that match and are in alignment. STRATEGY:  Being Open To Being Wrong Or To Something Better: What evidence would I need to see, hear or feel in order to know that I might be wrong? Start with the end in mind…recipe for success or dismal failure Tactic:  X or better by Y or sooner STRATEGY: Alignment with Vision, Values (permanent or largely unchanging)and Mission (will change through time as you summit the peak and look to the next level)   Tactics:  Measurement and OODA Loop Decide on mission metrics and have a to do and a not to do list with KPIs and regular monitoring. Tactics:  Define them in time blocks provided and then refine them Tactics:  Binary decision making, rating and removing the number 7 on a scale of one to ten. Strategy:  Systems vs. Goals Strategy:  Upsells increase margins AND satisfaction/experience Tactics:  More and in more ways Strategy:  Referrals of more and better Develop Trust, eliminate risk, and create self improving systems https://www.successtechnologies.com/2017/03/why-trust-is-essential-part-4-of-4-building-trust-bonus-materials/ Strategy:  Reactivation and Retention Strategy:  Market to your team and up your game with recruiting, hiring and on boarding/training Tactics Strategy:  Do more speaking and writing with less anxiety Hack:  Use and minimize anxiety   The Anxiety Performance Enhancer Hack Have you ever felt extremely anxious before speaking, taking a test, and or engaging an important activity? Many people do even when they are experienced and professional.  What’s more, many of us feel that it interferes with our very best performance. I’m an experienced meditator, and use deep breathing to relax and to get past the anxiety.  But then I often have to ramp my enthusiasm back up. So what if I could show you a quick but proven/effective hack that works for me and has some great science behind it?  Will you use it?  See and experience it for yourself? It’s called the “I feel excited” hack.  And it uses the fact that anxiety and excitement are biochemically very much the same thing viewed through two different mental filters. So watch this quick video and enjoy getting past anxiety and actually making ti work for you.       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rRgElTeIqE
