The Human Risk Podcast

On this episode, I am joined again by Ricardo Pellafone to discuss how Risk & Compliance (R&C) professionals can think about responding to the challenges posed by the Coronavirus. As the ways in which we work are changing drastically, how can and should R&C respond? What should their key priorities be and what should they avoid doing? We discuss this and a whole host more.Ricardo is the founder of The Broadcat (www.thebroadcat.com) a Compliance Design Company.

In this episode, I speak with Ben Cattaneo. Ben is a risk professional who is also the host of the All Things Risk podcast.We ended up having a rather longer than planned conversation, so I've split it up into several parts. In this first part, we begin by talking about Ben's career in Risk. We then explore how our perception of risk is often flawed and look at ways that organisations can think differently about risk management.You can find out more about the topics we discussed as follows:The All Things Risk podcast: http://www.allthingsrisk.co.uk/"Zen Mind, Beginners Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_Mind,_Beginner%27s_Mind"Black Swan" by Nassim Taleb:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_swan_theoryBike Shedding:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality"Range" by David Epstein:https://davidepstein.com/the-range/

In this episode, I speak to Mark Heywood. He's a former colleague and good friend of mine, who specialises in bridging the gap between Creatives and the Business World.

He suggests three things:1. The Vietnam War by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/80997770Be warned this is a serious time commitment, but as Mark explains, it'll change the way you think of the dynamics of that situation. And it is relevant to the way in which governments and other authorities communicate with us today.2. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins:You can follow this recommendation either in written format, where it forms a trilogy of novels (with the next part of the series due out in May this year):https://www.songbirdsandsnakes.com/Or you can watch this series of four movies: https://www.lionsgate.com/franchises/the-hunger-games. 3. I am Legend by Richard Matheson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(novel)As novels (with the next part of the series on release in May 2020): https://www.songbirdsandsnakes.com/As a series of four movies: https://www.lionsgate.com/franchises/the-hunger-games3. I am Legend by Richard Matheson - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Legend_(novel)Mark's third recommendation is this novel which has been made into a number of movies, including one starring Will Smith (which Mark specifically suggested we don't watch).

In this impromptu episode, Richard Bistrong, Ruth Steinholtz and I discuss the Ethics of holding an in-person event at the time of a pandemic. The discussion arose because the three of us were due to attend an Ethics Conference together next month. That Conference has now been switched to become a virtual one. This led us to think about the challlenges of running ethical, and other) events at a time like the present.To find out more about Richard and his work see www.richardbistrong.com  For more on Ruth visit her website www.aretework.com.

Why is there so much management bullshit used in the workplace? On this episode, I speak with Professor Ian McCarthy who is the W.J. VanDusen Associate Professor of Innovation and Operations Management at the SFU Beedie School of Business. Ian recently co-authored a piece of research entitled "Confronting indifference toward truth: Dealing with workplace bullshit" and on the podcast, I talk to him about the genesis of the idea and the research findings. And he introduces the CRAP framework that he and his co-authors developed to help us all identify and respond to the challenges of Workplace Bullshit. We also briefly touch on Ian's other research into Social Media and Deep Fakes.To read a copy of the research click here: https://lnkd.in/gVq2KuvYou can also support the work being undertaken by Ian and his colleagues by completing the Workplace Bullshit survey here: https://sfulsg.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1XGmd6FDZfjwjzfFor more on Ian visit his LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianmccarthy1/ or his faculty page: https://beedie.sfu.ca/profiles/IanMcCarthy
