Some of you – hopefully all of you - may be familiar with TED talks.  If not, go to www.TED.com right now.  You are in for a treat.  TED talks are of course are a series of talks by interesting people on interesting subjects.  They are short, they are impactful and they are to the point. 

 

TED stands for technology, entertainment and design.  The theme of non-profit TED is “ideas worth spreading”.  There are hundreds (if not over a thousand) TED talks that are available for free at TED.com.  All the talks are short (20 minutes or less), and cover a fascinating range of topics.  A great way to spend some quality time with your computer.

 

I recently searched for “risk” and “risk management” on the TED site.  Came up with nothing.  It appears that risk managers are either just not dynamic enough or interesting enough or into technology, entertainment or design.  Although it is a TEDx talk, (emphasis on the “x”), I hope to change that.  www.tedxhalifax.ca
