“It’s not often that you have someone who’s a risk professional in film. But, it really leverages out because it’s all focusing on the same subject — it’s about managing risk.” — Dr. Karen Hardy
“The thing that draws me to ERM in 2022 is the thing that drew me to it years ago. … And the very thing is that at the core, it … is about bringing everyone together … to have … conversations within an organization. That’s the foundation for … change.” — Dr. Karen Hardy
“One of the things that I realized in the [ERM] profession is that I can’t craft or create a solution if I don’t know what the objections are. And that’s why having conversations is so important. Objections are a gift to any risk profession.” — Dr. Karen Hardy
“My whole reputation in government and risk management changed because I was able to put a creative spin on risk management.” — Dr. Karen Hardy
