2014 Reflections: Operational Risk Management Forecast...

As 2014 comes to a close and we look into the future of 2015 it is time to reflect.  After 1000+ blog posts on the topic and discipline of Operational Risk Management (ORM) it seems like a blur.  To start off this final post for the year, we looked back on our last post in December 2013.  It is amazing to see how accurate many of our forecasts were for 2014.

Here are some of the Operational Risk Management blog posts that had the most page views this past year:

Cyber Domain: International Law of Asymmetric Warfare...

Memorial Day 2014: The Risk of Service is Understood...

Insider Threat: CSO Priorities...

1 WTC: Trust Decisions of Technology, Privacy and Rule of Law...

Veterans Day 2014: Leading the Enterprise to Victory...

Courage: Risk of Physical & Moral Fear...

Now for the ORM forecast.  2015 will provide new opportunity and a positive outlook not seen since 2007.  The global investors are still bullish on the possibilities for long-term growth.  The religious wars will continue to spark new regional conflicts, yet the super powers will continue to find common ground.  Resilience to systemic failures will define what countries emerge, as the next tier of global influence.

At the end of the day, we are all the same.  Love for our family and the constant anxiety of providing a safe, secure and nourishing environment for them to live out their days.  As we close our eyes each night to try to sleep, we plan our next day on managing the "Operational Risks" in our path ahead.
