Minimizing Risk
August 25, 2014
What do you think about risk? Are you someone who secretly enjoys risk? Or do you play it safe?
Martin Ramsay doesn't think we can ever eliminate risk. But, when it comes to business processes, we certainly can and should take steps to minimize it. In this brief video, Martin describes a simple "formula" he uses to think about process risk and the potential for negative consequences. The key is to start by recognizing where potential failures could occur, thus identifying points of risk.

Check Your Customer Attitude
June 30, 2014
How do you view your customers? Do you see them as intelligent and informed, as people who you want to help make the right purchasing decision for them? Or do you view them with veiled distain, hoping to push them into purchasing something they may or may not want to buy?
