(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 10, 2008 ) Sacramento, California -- Today's public and private technology leaders face risks that are unprecedented. Frustrated by negative business and economic news, the California Women's Network and Aon Technology Industry Practice group has decided to compile success stories of technology firms who are using risk management to thrive in this tough business environment.
"In what seems like a stream of never-ending negative news, we believe that there are firms throughout the U.S. that are managing adversity to their advantage and we'd like to hear from them," said Anna Smith, President of the California Women's Network Group. She further commented that "the obstacles we're facing now will undoubtedly lead to better best practices in the future."
Julie Davis, Executive Vice President, Aon Technology Practice in San Jose, commented "for those technology firms who pride themselves on managing risks, now is their time to shine, and for those that could benefit from improving their risk management model, there is no better time to embrace risk management. Technology CEOs and senior executives will need a much tighter grasp of potential exposures and contingency plans for any worsening in the markets. We are seeking personal stories, advice and tips that have helped technology firms sustain through these tough times."
Using this list, we'd like your stories, advice and other contributions in the following areas:
Best Ideas Implemented for managing Strategic Risks, Human Capital Risks, Financial Risks, Operational Risks, Technology Risks and Hazard Risks.
Mike Flanagan, Managing Director, Aon National Technology Practice, commented, "we are thrilled to have created a tool that helps technology firms through a challenging time and differentiates our work within this industry. It reconfirms our commitment to an important industry segment.”
