Greetings,
Spring has finally sprung but now the devil will be in the details - will we have another snowstorm or two to complete the bizarre and endless winter we have had in North America? Our featured photo is meant to wave this memorable winter goodbye!
In this newsletter, we highlight an article co-written with Murray Grainger, founder of Impact on Integrity, with whom we are collaborating on several fronts including an exciting one day executive workshop on "Integrity, Risk & Reputation" to be held in Madrid, Spain, on June 17th. Watch this newsletter for more details to follow soon.
In our article, Murray and I tackle the often complex and multifaceted topic of fraud head on by offering our top tips for global companies and their employees to use cultural weapons to combat this never-ending scourge. Take a look and give us your feedback (abonimeblanc@gecrisk.com).
In early April, GEC Risk is conducting two exciting workshops one on "Ethical Risk and Risk Culture" for the Toronto-based, Global Risk Institute in Financial Services, for a group of chief risk officers from a diversity of financial institutions, and the other on "Crisis, Leadership & Culture" for Chief Audit Executives at the Spring IIA meeting in Philadelphia.
You may also want to check out the Second Global Enterprise Risk Management Online Symposium (featured in "Upcoming Events" to your right) which is an all-virtual online multi-week conference in May with some live portions. We are giving a keynote speech on "Reputation Risk: What is it and How Does It Fit Into the Risk Universe?".
Let us know what's on your mind and issues that interest you so we can consider writing or speaking about them.
In the meantime, happy spring to the Northern Hemisphere and happy fall to our friends in the Southern Hemisphere!
Cheers,
Andrea

Risk management has become an essential part of corporate management, strategy, and leadership over the past few years, and risk executives are increasingly required to work across a broad range of issues. Risk leaders also need to coach and train their staff in the detection and management of emerging risks. If properly structured and integrated with strategy, active risk management can provide a competitive advantage in all sectors, providing critical protection to corporate reputation and brand, as well as enabling strategic growth over time. This conference offers an up-to-date overview of the critical global and strategic risks confronting multinational organizations. http://www.conference-board.org/conferences/conferencedetail.cfm?conferenceid=2657
