Blogs

I enjoy writing these blogs – I hope you enjoy reading them.  I try to
keep them short and breezy.  Over the past four years, I have written
approximately 500 blogs.  That is a chunk of ideas – and undoubtedly not
all of them were high quality ideas.  The point is however, as one of my
friends put it, "one you start, you got to keep feeding the beast!"

Feeding the blog beast means coming up with something to write about.  For
risk management that is quite easy most of the time.  Risk management is
such a rich and developing field that there are many different ideas to put a
few words to word processor on.  However it is easy to get stuck in a rut,
and get stuck on one or two ideas.  It sometimes takes work to come up with
"fresh" ideas.  But that is also true of risk management.  As risk
managers we also tend to get stuck in ruts, using one technique or concept
for every issue that comes along.  As risk managers we got to "keep
feeding the beast" with fresh ideas for managing and exploiting risk.  We
cannot be satisfied with what has been written (developed); we must always be
thinking of new and fresh ideas.
