In the October 12 edition of the Economist, there is a short article titled
"Funny Business".  It highlights that humor not only helps to sell
products as in humorous advertisements, but it also helps to sell safety
messages.  "Jokes can make serious messages more effective" is a direct
quote from the article.  Goodness knows it is a worth a try, but has anyone
seen a risk manager with a sense of humor – ever

Blogs

The worst part about writing a blog is "feeding the beast", or in other
words keeping new ideas flowing.   I have been writing this series of blogs
for about 5 years now, and admittedly ideas for new blogs come easier at some
times versus others.  (For example you can probably tell I am currently
struggling for new ideas by the mere fact I am writing this specific blog
…)

The best part about writing a blog is "feeding the beast", or in other
words keeping new ideas flowing.  Keeping a blog series going for 5 years
forces you to keep searching for ideas and new ways to present old ideas.

Perhaps risk reports should look more like blogs.  If nothing else it would
help to bring out the best and worst traits of risk reporting and hopefully
generate more ideas. 

(Another blog into the hopper.)
