Sustaining the Growth Trajectory: Intelligent Risk Taking for Technology Companies
Growth is a goal for most organizations. However, for technology companies, growth is a strategic imperative, and rapid growth comes with a set of evolving risks. The technology industry is dynamic and fluid, lending itself to a constant flux of threats, but also plenty of opportunities. A threat that might severely impede a technology company at one stage of its lifecycle — such as the unexpected pullout of an important strategic partner — may dissipate over time as products are released an...

In-House or Out-of-House: Navigating the Changing Landscape of the Legal Industry
With the economic downturn impacting almost every industry, businesses have been challenged to cut cost while maintaining a strong enterprise. Some companies are reducing costs by bringing work normally performed by outside counsel or vendors in-house. As more companies do this, relationships between law firms, vendors and corporate legal departments are changing. Highlights: Many have speculated that the current downturn and corporate investigations resulting ...

From Recession to Recovery: A Risk Intelligent Strategy for All Economic Times
Today’s turbulent economic environment calls for greater attention to risk management than ever before. Stressors such as low consumer demand, limited access to credit, market uncertainty and the global recession can increase risk exposures far above acceptable levels — especially if risk management activities don’t receive the proper amount of attention. It sounds somber, but there’s good news. The volatile environment has also highlighted risk management as a key driver of value for bu...

Getting Ahead: How Leading U.S. Companies Are Approaching IFRS Today
Thoughtful planning is an effective way to manage long-term costs and avoid expensive surprises. As companies develop strategies for managing through the economic downturn and evaluate their short- and long-term priorities, some leaders are factoring International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) into their plans today. Recognizing the value of planning ahead and the need to competitively position the organization for the future, forward-thinking leaders in the U.S. are taking steps now to p...

Riding the Next Wave: The Strategic Value of Green IT for Business
Going green has never been more popular, especially now that a new U.S. administration is set to push the environment to the forefront of its agenda. Many businesses have already taken the lead by voluntarily implementing environmental programs, many of which focus on information technology (IT), particularly when it comes to cutting down on energy consumption. In the future, though, companies that have based policies on incremental or cosmetic changes run the risk of either playing catch up or ...

Fending Off Digital Attacks: A Holistic Approach to Cybersecurity
We are under attack, and we may not know about it until it’s too late. Over the last ten years, almost on a daily basis, cyber criminals have been mounting attacks against federal agencies and private industries, exploiting the same technologies and interconnectedness that have streamlined business and made life so convenient for consumers. Vandalism, fraud, identity theft and corporate espionage carried out by gangs of tech-savvy intruders are siphoning more than 100 billion dollars out of th...

Establishing Trust in Sovereign Wealth Funds: The Purpose and Objectives of the Santiago Principles
Until recently, few people knew what a Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) was, even though some of these funds have been in existence for decades. An SWF certainly doesn’t always look or act like other investment vehicles. These special-purpose investment funds are owned by foreign governments whose policies may sometimes differ from the policies of the countries where they invest; thus SWFs sometimes generate controversy. To help ensure an appropriate level of comfort with the activities of SWFs, re...

Managing the Risks and Value of Data Assets: A New Look at Digital IDs
Who are you? How do you define your identity? Chances are you aren’t thinking of your passwords, usernames and personal identification numbers as an integral part of who you are, but in fact, our virtual identities (IDs) are assuming ever greater importance in both our private and professional lives. What’s more, from a business perspective, virtual identities are actually part of an organization’s data assets, as well as a potential liability. Imagine the potential consequences of identit...

Navigating Through Turbulence: The Urgent Need for Risk Intelligence
When poorly managed, risk-taking can push companies to the brink of disaster. Today’s subprime crisis can be traced to many factors, but they all underscore the need for better Risk Intelligence. If they’re to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, companies need to look at their organizations more like symphony orchestras with employees playing multiple parts in complex arrangements; that requires a risk management framework — and it requires knowing who is responsible for what.

Unlocking the Benefits of the Deal: How IT Can Capture M&A Synergies
Try starting out on a trip without a map, a global positioning system (GPS) or enough gas in your tank, and see how far you get. Companies contemplating a merger, acquisition (M&A) or divestiture, take heed: All those dreams of capturing synergies through higher revenues and lower costs may turn to dust if you don’t incorporate information technology (IT) into the integration process from start to finish. By failing to invite IT to the party, companies may overpay for an acquisition and suffer...

Creating a Sustainable Future: Approaches Companies Can Take to Organize and Measure Their Green Investments
Remember that song from Sesame Street, “It’s Not Easy Being Green”? Well, it’s true. Because green investments can be made across several core business dimensions — a company’s products and services, workforce and workplace and supply chain — it can be difficult to get a handle on what is often a confusing mix of projects, goals, values and promises. That’s why it’s vital for companies to implement an approach based on benchmarks that can help them organize and prioritize their green projects an...

Too Many Rooms at the Inn: How Hospitality Companies Can Thrive in Hard Times
The combination of a housing crisis, credit crunch and high commodity prices are leaving fewer discretionary dollars for travel. Businesses are slashing their travel budgets, and more cash-starved Americans are reluctantly settling for “staycations” — foregoing excursions to Paris and Mount Rushmore in favor of backyard barbeques. Hospitality companies are going to have to make some fundamental changes if they want to adjust in this new business environment. Highlights: - Marketing and sal...

Reading the Signs of the Times: Holiday Spending Predictions
It’s definitely not a letter to Santa. No one’s wish list would include a housing meltdown, a global credit crunch, a compromised manufacturing sector, failing financial institutions and massive bailouts. Instead of jingle bells, what we’re hearing sounds more like the roar of the perfect economic storm. To top it off, there are even five fewer shopping days this year than last. What’s a retailer to do? Are there any indicators for optimism? What strategies will help the concerned retailer melt ...

Moving Beyond the Employee Lifecycle: Talent Solutions for a New Workplace
Thanks to globalization and technology, employees are able to move in many directions — laterally as well as vertically — and select from among a variety of work options. And with employees increasingly able to work from anywhere in the world, the traditional idea of the workplace is becoming obsolete. Going forward in these challenging economic times, companies will need to create a difficult balance — retaining their best performers and attracting new people to replace their retiring baby boom...

How to Make It New: Fostering a Culture of Innovation in Turbulent Times
Every day seems to bring a new shock to the global economy. The markets are swinging wildly, savings have evaporated, consumer spending is down and unemployment is up. In such turbulent times, many businesses might understandably be focused on getting through the crisis of the week rather than growing for the future. But for organizations looking at long term sustainability, perhaps the most important question is: How do you develop fresh ideas that create value — how do you create a culture of ...

How can two people look at precisely the same phenomenon and see something totally different? Who’s seeing clearly? Who’s blinded by self-deception and denial? Remember the emperor’s new clothes?

Facing the Music: What Companies Can Do to Prepare for an SEC Investigation

It’s always better to be prepared — a lesson that applies to companies trying to stay out of trouble. And trouble often comes in the form of an inquiry or an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Companies don’t have to wait for a call from the SEC’s enforcement divi...

We all know what happened when the Trojans brought a certain horse into their city. But many companies fail to appreciate, let alone take steps to deal with, the gravity of the threat posed by their own disgruntled employees. Classified and proprietary data, supply chain integrity, public confidence and financial assets are all at risk, but so too are lives — and national security. And technology is only making it easier for insiders to wreak havoc. The human resources (HR) department has to be ...

Crossing the Cultural Divide: The Importance of the Human Factor in M&A Due Diligence
Culture may receive a good deal of lip service when it comes to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), but few companies, if any, are going to call off a deal because of cultural incompatibility. If little effort is made to facilitate the cultural fit, the hoped-for synergies aren’t likely to occur, and employees aren’t likely to embrace a new culture just because they’re working for a new company. Yet one company’s culture frequently does end up dominating, so it's important the integration team does ...
