How do you protect your Assets?

Kia Ora,

Well the news came out of the Australian mining company board all being lost on a flight in Africa. So what does that have to do with Assets?

The greatest assets you have are the people at all levels with the knowledge that makes your business what it is.



In particular which you are looking at instituitional knowledge as held by thosde who may head your company.

You would of thought companies would of learnt from the Manchester United experience in 1953, loosing so many of their team. But like everything else it seems we havfe to keep learning the same lessons.

Several years ago I was appointed to a position in the area of governance & arrived late to the AGM.

As a trained bodyguard though I was blown away on the trip back when not only were the majority of those in governance on the same flight, also all the top tiers & boards of the subsidaries were on the same flight.



It was only when I made the point from the point of view of a bodyguard, that they looked around & realized how much they would of lost had that aircraft crashed.

Again it is part of the on going risk assessment you must make in the industry at all levels.

True there are times when like Saturday night despite your best planning things go wrong & Murphy's law kicks in, but you limit that which could go wrong.
