Thanks for the heads-up, J.D. Excellent pair of posts! There are more than a few of your 12 impediments that apply to many business processes. Looks like a potential white paper or free offer for your clients…

You’re absolutely correct, Natasha. It all starts with attitude. If at the beginning we believe the risk management/compliance program we are setting up will be complicated, it will probably be complicated. What people don’t realize is that the inverse is true – if we believe that it can be simple, it will be simple. The biggest barrier is our own beliefs. Once we overcome that obstacle, the rest is pretty easy.

Thanks for the comment!

“Doesn’t have to be complicated”

Totally agree. If we remove these barriers and the mentality that it must be costly, hard, a burden, etc. etc. we will see great improvement in our risk management and compliance initiatives.

I try to keep my posts brief, too, but as my daughter would say the attempt is usually an “epic fail”. Excellent post, J.D. Thanks!

Half of it is posted, Tom. (I’m trying to keep blog posts brief, so I’ll post the other half in a few days.)
