Risk scenario snippet

This coming Tuesday, July 20, Buzz2010 participants will spend part of their time together at Clyde’s of Gallery Place solving a risk scenario for a fictional association. The idea being, if you can solve for someone else’s risk, you can solve for your own. Just to keep it interesting, the association we’ve made up represents the extreme action sports retailers and manufacturers. Love X Games? Is Shaun White your hero? Then you might just get an extra kick out of the exercise.

Here’s a little snippet from the scenario–I’m still finalizing it. I think it’s going to be good. But if you have any suggestions for me, let me know.

“About a third of the 35 staff members are extreme action sports enthusiasts themselves. Several have been actively sharing video and photos of themselves enjoying their favorite sport on Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube, and those posts have been very popular among members—especially the manufacturers of the equipment that the staff members are using. One manufacturer even commented to a staff member that he’d send him their latest model snowboard to demo so he could ‘learn what a real board feels like.’”

So…you spot any juicy risks in there? Got any ideas for the steps you’d take to manage that risk? Wait till you see the rest of the scenario…

See you on Tuesday. And please remember to register for Buzz2010 in advance. I know I keep saying this, but bring along a colleague, because that’s the kind of team experience this event is designed for. Have a great weekend!
