As a business owner, you must be able to cope with the stuff that life throws at you… “whether those risks are key people leaving your organisation, key suppliers going bankrupt, key customers disappearing or your building burning down. The inevitable happens. Our business is to help organisations learn to cope with that and recover,” says Rick Stone, the brains behind risk management consultancy Tigertail.
When you consider that Rick was previously the senior disaster planner for the NSW government and spent 10 years as the training manager for the SES in NSW, it’s clear he knows more than most about risk management and disaster recovery efforts.
In this episode of the My Business Podcast, Rick reveals:
• 3 key risks SME owners should be planning for
• The costliest type of natural disaster, and how to prepare for it
• Lessons he has learnt moving from a steady public service job to self-employment
And loads more!
Rick had the privilege of being a guest on My Business Podcast in July 2016. Tune in now to hear about how SME owners can mitigate risks to their business!
