2) Embedding Strategic ERM into Strategic Planning is an important means to implement ERM for an organization.  Develop a Cause and Effect (Ishikawa) chart that would show the factors needed to make a decision to include ERM in Strategic Planning.  Provide a description explaining your chart?

Where does data analysis begin?

The collection of data is not the onset of data analysis projects. A data analysis project begins with a purpose, problem, and research questions.

Find one scholarly research paper with an excellent example of:

• Problem statement
• Research questions

The example shall relate to a practical, real-world work environment in the information technology field. After finding the research, discuss the following:

• What makes this example excellent in the topics that initiate a data analysis project?
• What relates this example to a practical, real-world work environment in the information technology field?
• Do the research questions meet the criteria defined in the lecture in week one?
• What is the generalizability of this research?

Chapter 18 presented special risk management issues with Blue Wood Chocolates, and chapter 19 presented various financial risks at Kilgore Custom Milling. If Blue Wood Chocolate and Kilgore Custom Milling are to develop a risk management framework, who should lead the process at each company? Should a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) be appointed? If so, to whom should he/she report and have access to? How could smaller companies without the resources for a dedicated CRO deal with ERM? What is the role for the board in such a process?

To complete this assignment, you must do the following:

A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, if Blue Wood Chocolate and Kilgore Custom Milling are to develop a risk management framework, who should lead the process at each company? Should a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) be appointed? If so, to whom should he/she report and have access to? How could smaller companies without the resources for a dedicated CRO deal with ERM? What is the role for the board in such a process?
