I think a couple of books that I am going to highlight in the next week or two are ones that do a great job of being that cheat sheet - even for us ERISA Heads. Thanks for the visit. Great point Frank - good tie to ethical issues as part of the equation. HR Wench – I guess the shoes really do make the risk manager!

No, really, your review of the article has intrigued me. Especially the "less detailed top line financial information" part. The only time I really understand top line financial info is when I have a definition cheat sheet in front of me. AND she has great shoes!

His job is in the corporate risk area. I was always amazed at how he talked about the technical aspects about attenuating risk, but he also talked about public perception as a critical element. It's kind of like ethics: there's pure ethics, and as importantly, there's the appearance of ethics. In HR we have to make sure both parts work. I really like the entirety of this idea. Transparency and anticipation of risk...essential items for the fully fleshed out HR offering. This kind of thinking happens on the currency and finance side all the time...cool to consider it at the intersection of HR and markets. I have a friend who’s a quant from U of C.
