Protecting Integrity: Avoiding Risk in the Global Marketplace
Developing and implementing an integrated plan to combat global market risk is an essential component of any organizational plan, especially during the current unstable market.

Without a plan, organizational identity is in jeopardy and that could prove fatal. As executive managing partner of Risk Management Associates International, Dr. Moors has pioneered innovative and interactive strategies to manage reputational risk. In his presentations, workshops and seminars for corporate and government leaders worldwide, he shares the following:

· How to develop successful risk management strategies
· What risk factors need to be integrated into an international market plan

Meeting the Oil Challenge

The price of crude oil reached $147 a barrel in mid-2008 only to collapse to less than $40 before the end of the year. The volatility about to come, however, will be even greater. With crude oil, gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and heating oil exhibiting unparalleled instability, availability and pricing of oil products have become major national concerns. The effects extend well beyond the pump. Economic prospects, employment, national security and the American way of life are at stake. In a highly engaging presentation, recognized international oil authority Dr. Moors answers the following questions:

· How much oil is left
· Why oil prices are so volatile
· What the public and the government can do about it
