Summary

This book presents a new approach to risk management that enables executives to think systematically and strategically about future risks and deal proactively with threats to their competitive advantages in an ever more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. 
 
Organizations typically manage risks through traditional tools such as insurance and risk mitigation; some employ enterprise risk management, which looks at risk holistically throughout the organization. But these tools tend to focus organizational attention on past actions and compliance. Executives need to tackle risk head-on as an integral part of their strategic planning process, not by looking in the rearview mirror.  
 
Strategic Risk Management (SRM) is a forward-looking approach that helps teams anticipate events or exposures that fundamentally threaten or enhance a firm's position. The authors, experts in both business strategy and risk management, define strategic risks and show how they differ from operational risks. They offer a road map that describes architectural elements of SRM (knowledge, principles, structures, and tools) to show how leaders can integrate them to effectively design and implement a future-facing SRM program. SRM gives organizations a competitive advantage over those stuck in outdated risk management practices. For the first time, it enables them to look squarely out the front windshield.

    The global COVID-19 pandemic forced everybody to rethink how they operate and the role that digital plays in business and in our lives. While digital may have been top of mind for many businesses, the pandemic made it essential, not just to interact and sell products and services, but as a way to meet the critical needs of your business. 
    More than ever, people are looking for experiences, not products. And not just any experiences—but real ones that turn transactions into engagement and materialism into experimentalism. The pandemic has changed our view of the world, shifted us away from consumerism, and made us appreciate the basic human needs of finding balance and focus. In this new era, customer experience is not just a digital experience, but a perfect combination of real life and digital interaction. It could be a meditative museum experience combining art with augmented reality, or an entertaining shopping experience at a mall with omnichannel support in a virtual fitting room. 
    The Swipe-Right Customer Experience shows how the best companies have transformed the customer experience beyond offering a technology add-on and built or rebuilt their infrastructure, processes, talent and culture around the customer experience. You will learn:How the world has changed since the global pandemic, the role of digitization, and why customer experience means everything.The secret to how top-performing companies in five different industries have rebuilt themselves around the experience they offer to customers.The internal components of organizations that must be transformed: culture, skills, processes and workflow, brand, and measuring.The new technology trends that are driving next-level customer experience.

    Everyone Deserves A Shot At Financial Freedom.. 
    But most of us go without the knowledge, education or mentorship to be able to make confident decisions around our wealth in pursuit of our goals for the future. 
    Have you found yourself having to learn the hard way? 
    Do you feel you have the financial literacy you need to make the right financial decisions? 
    Are you confident that you are on the right path for your goals? 
    From these questions, Jackson Millan- The Wealth Mentor realized that there are very few sources of truth when it comes to bare bones wealth education for everyday people written by an everyday person! 
    Most of the resources out there are written by: 
    1. People who are independently wealthy and teaching strategies that require you to already be financially free 
    2. People who have made their wealth in ways other than they are teaching 
    3. People who inherited their wealth and didn't start from dollar #1 themselves 
    If you want a no BS guide to setting yourself on the right path to financial freedom with time tested, proven strategies written by someone who has "been there and done that' you need to look no further! 
    Hear the open and honest first hand stories from The Wealth Mentor, born to a family of working class tradespeople who had to struggle to meet their basic needs. Through hard work, dedication and perseverance, Jackson has been able to craft a unique approach to wealth called 'Values Based Advice' that helps simplify your path to what you want, hold you accountable to the journey and help you create more time to do what you love.
