Watch Out for the Self-Declared “Pros”
I recently watched the online flameout of one of Quality Digest’s newest contributing writers, a self-immolation fueled by the gasoline of one guy’s narcissism, and the lit match of a publication desperate for free content.
CERM Academy Head Hutchins: “Alex Dali is Prescient”
In a weird risk-seller back-patting moment, the head of the CERM Academy congratulated the head of G31000 as being “prescient.”
Greg Hutchins, who operates the CERM Academy which provides unaccredited Certified Enterprise Risk Management certificates to individuals, declared his love for Alex Dali, who heads the equally unaccredited G31000 Global Institute for Risk Management Standards, which also provides risk management certificates. Neither organization adheres to ISO 17024, the standard for personnel certification bodies.

Risk Expert May Not Have Considered Risk of Creating Fake Internet Profile to Promote G31000 Group
Alex Dali, the President of G31000 Global Institute for Risk Management, an international organization dedicated to cashing in on promoting the ISO 31000 risk management standard through training seminars and personal certifications, has apparently failed to assess...
Apparently, Risk Management is Just Like Porn
(UPDATE: See below.) There's a fascinating debate going on over at LinkedIn, in the ISO 31000 forum. Here's the link, although I suggest you scroll through to the end and work backwards, because the back-and-forth between risk advocate Peter Blokland, myself and ISO...
Winter is Coming: ANAB Accredits Smithers for SN9001
ANAB has finally granted accreditation to Smithers Quality Assessments to the snow and ice management standard, SN9001, closing a weird, incestuous feedback loop that would boggle the mind, if it weren't all so ridiculously dull. Let's try to spice it up. The...
