I initially decided to write about my experiences working and dealing with risks in Iraq, however over time it has expanded into all aspects of Risk Management including featuring Video series’ and podcasts.
The site covers strategic, project and operational risks of working in challenging locations as well as within specific industries. It also covers digital risk and technologies such as Bitcoin and Blockchain. One aspect there is a lot of focus on too is Risk Culture, something which is often forgotten about but plays a key role in successful risk management..
