How to surface the Unknown Unknowns! This was the theme of a workshop led by Mike Vernon and Gill Avery at Westminster University during summer 2016. Designed for leaders and risk professionals keen to identify and deal with the ‘latent’ risk in their organisations, we introduced CPL’s ERME (Enterprise Risk Maturity Evaluation) assessment tool and supported attendees in learning how to apply the tool in their organisations. ViewpointsThe Golden Path for Teenagers The main difference between parenting children up to the age of puberty and developing teenagers is that our emphasis shifts from meeting their needs and supporting the growth of a strong sense of self, to ‘guiding' them through issues, events and relationships.

Culture Eats Strategy
"And the fact is culture eats strategy for lunch . . . You can have a good strategy in place, but if you don't have the culture and the enabling systems that allow you to successfully implement that strategy . . . the culture of the organisation will defeat the strategy."

Defining and Changing Culture
"Any business is a managed cluster of integrated supply chains (or functions), comprised of groups of semi-autonomous and independent agents that interact and relate in unpredictable ways to meet their own needs. This creates system-wide, emergent, patterns of interaction, across supply chains and sectors, that once they have emerged, gel into semi-predictable patterns called the business culture.
