How often should a business conduct risk assessment? How can a company measure risk? Risk is defined as a situation involving exposure to danger. The frequency of conducting risk assessment varies depending on the size and complexity of business. Also, risk has various components i.e. political risk, market risk, credit risk etc. The best approach is to layout the risks your business is facing into clearly identified categories. Most large companies use an "Enterprise Risk Management" (ERM) framework. Here is a link to that framework: https://www.coso.org/Documents/COSO-ERM-Executive-Summary.pdf

The entrepreneurial ecosystem in Cameroon is changing.

Ye! Country Ambassador for Cameroon met with 12 years old Ismael, a young entrepreneur who has been into tailoring for over 1 year. Ismael is in the process to launch his clothing line “Mael Clothings”. Ismael currently blends African and Western fabrics to design clothes for kids and he has a kid model.

Though he is still under 16, Country Ambassador for Cameroon #DesmundEgbe is mentoring, coaching and providing Ismael with necessary support to boost his entrepreneurial journey.

https://hbr.org/2017/08/tesla-shows-how-traditional-business-metrics-are-outdated?utm_campaign=hbr&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social

An interesting take on market penetration and market share and how these traditional metrics might be part of the problem for incumbents missing out on opportunities. Think about Kodak, Yahoo, and Friendster. It doesn't paint the whole picture but gives some things to think about.

"Transaction data tells you what people bought, not what they want — and sales are not the same as demand."

"Category creators are changing the world — and our metrics need to keep up."

How start up can build network with entrepreneurs,as some do not accept online networking unless in person?

Comments

  1. Persistence is key. You can find contacts online and then build a conversation that allows you to meet them in person. Often, immediate friends, family and past colleagues have great suggestions on people they know,. In short, talk to as many people in a day as you can either online or from your own network . i call it inorganic and organic networking.

I want to work smarter and more efficiently. Can you share some productivity tools you use or like? Or strategies for streamlining business? Thank you

Comments

  1. Every day, i wake up and meditate. That will help you feel fresh and focus. Also, go through the items on your to do list that are pending from the previous day. Second, try to create a short to-do list. The longer the list the less focused you will be. Think of the top 5 things you want to achieve in the day. I use apps such as Any.Do and Evernote to take notes.

    To streamline your business, consolidate your business around core competencies i.e. things you are absolutely great at. Those will be the cash cows. Do not have too many lines of business without any need or value to society. Roughly speaking, you should have one revenue line for each expense that generates more money than every expense line. It is common sense then, you will soon be creating capital
