Earthquake, Tsunami Reshape Japan’s Coastline

2011-03-23T20:17:00.000-07:00

In the wake of the devastating earthquake and tsunami that ravaged Japan, the world’s attention has rightfully turned to to ongoing nuclear crisis at Fukushima. Three reactors are at risk of meltdown while spent fuel rods at a fourth reactor are at risk of catching fire, which would spew radioactive gas into the atmosphere. More than 200,000 people have either been evacuated or told by authorities to shelter-in-place and all but 50 workers at the nuclear plant have been sent home as radiation levels continue to "soar". By all accounts this is now a full-scale international crisis as Japan's neighbours are at risk and with the nation's prime minister reporting asking energy "what the hell is going on?" the incident is becoming more harrowing by the minute.

All we can do now is monitor the information being reported and hope for the best in an incident that may already have caused insured losses of up to $35 billion, according to risk modeling firm AIR Worldwide, and has triggered the biggest two-day stock market decline in Japan since 1987, according to comments by CNBC’s Erin Burnett today onMorning Joe.

Looking back at the initial disaster, however, more and more is becoming known about the gravity of the catastrophe. The video below from ABC shows how the quake and tsunami drastically reshaped parts of Japan’s coastline. The awesome power of nature will never cease to amaze.

Strategic Risk Management for growing need for Business Defence

Seven main categories of Strategic Risk: a) Industry, b) Technology, c) Brand, d)Competitor, e) Customer, f) Project and g)Stagnation

Every organisation faces a unique set of strategic risk based on factors such as your industry, competitive position, and sources of revenue, profit, brand positioning, and reputation strength. Appropriate Risk Mitigation is essential by way of systematically identifying, assessing and responding to them.

Identify and Assess Your Risk:

a) Severity:

What percentage of your company’s value could be affected by the risk?

Consider previous analogous events in your industry and the factors that could increase the risk impact as well as your organization’s ability to adapt to external changes.

b) Probability:

What the likelihood of the risk occurring?

Consider previous cases of companies affected by risk, input from key customers and other external data.

c) Timing:

Can you determine when the risk is likely to occur?

Maybe the timing has been predetermining such as patent expirations or regulatory changes etc.

d) Changing probability over time:

Can you determine whether the likelihood of the risk is increasing, decreasing or constant?

Any sharp decline in sales volume often increases in the fifth year of a business life cycle expansion. A business risk failure has direct effect on company’s value and reputation direction.

Absence of Risk Management could cost you, your business.
