The 4th Industrial Revolution is upon us. For some it will be a plague but for others it’ll will be a feast.
Every day you can find multiple great ideas that could potentially disruptive the current way of doing things. My favourites at the moment are flying modes of transport that could easily replace vehicles that have to travel on roads and flying machines that briefly go to space to get to their destination quicker. They may seem like far off technological developments, but the technology works now. Its flight rules and regulations that will hold them back to protect carmakers and airplane makers not technology risks.

How you fail may not matter too much after you’ve failed. It will be too late to consider what you are doing wrong. Kodak didn’t want to change when they had to change to survive. They were making too much money from photographs to change to embrace digital photography. Market changes can kill the best businesses.

You Control the Solutions to Your Business Problems: Exploring Creative Thinking and Problem Solving in Business
In the dynamic landscape of business, problems are inevitable. From operational inefficiencies to market challenges, businesses face a myriad of obstacles that require strategic thinking and effective problem-solving skills. The ability to identify, analyse, and resolve these issues is crucial for organisational success and growth. This article explores the significance of problem solving in the business realm, delving into the BusinessRiskTV model as a powerful tool for addressing challenges. Furthermore, it highlights the role of creative thinking in problem solving and provides three practical ways businesses can leverage creativity to overcome obstacles.
Understanding the Solution to Business Problems Before diving into the solutions, it is essential to grasp the concept of business problems and their significance. Business problems can range from operational bottlenecks to strategic dilemmas, and their resolution plays a vital role in maintaining competitive advantage and ensuring sustainability. By identifying the root causes of problems and employing appropriate problem-solving techniques, businesses can create innovative solutions that drive progress and success.
The BusinessRiskTV Model of Problem Solving The BusinessRiskTV model offers a structured approach to problem solving, enabling businesses to navigate challenges effectively. This model involves six key steps: problem identification, analysis, solution generation, evaluation, implementation, and review. By following these steps, organisations can systematically address problems, ensuring comprehensive and sustainable solutions. The model encourages a proactive mindset, emphasising the importance of continuous improvement and learning from past experiences.
The Importance of Solving Business Problems Solving business problems holds numerous benefits for organisations. Firstly, it helps optimise operational efficiency by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies, reducing costs, and improving productivity. Secondly, problem solving enables businesses to adapt to changing market conditions, seize opportunities, and stay ahead of the competition. Furthermore, effective problem-solving fosters a culture of innovation, empowering employees to think critically and contribute to the organisation’s growth.
Leveraging Creative Thinking in Problem Solving Creative thinking plays a crucial role in solving complex business problems. By encouraging fresh perspectives, challenging assumptions, and exploring unconventional solutions, businesses can unlock new possibilities and generate innovative ideas. This section explores three key ways in which organisations can utilise creative thinking:
a. Divergent Thinking: Encouraging brainstorming sessions and open discussions enables teams to generate a wide range of ideas. By embracing diversity and inclusivity, businesses can tap into the collective wisdom of their workforce and uncover unique solutions.
b. Design Thinking: This human-centered approach emphasises empathy, understanding, and collaboration. By immersing themselves in the customer’s perspective, businesses can develop innovative solutions that cater to their needs, preferences, and pain points.
c. Reverse Thinking: This approach involves challenging the status quo and flipping the problem on its head. By questioning assumptions and exploring alternative perspectives, businesses can discover fresh insights and uncover unconventional solutions.
Solving business problems is an imperative aspect of organisational success. By embracing the BusinessRiskTV model and incorporating creative thinking, businesses can take control of their challenges and pave the way for innovation and growth. The ability to identify problems, analyse their root causes, and generate effective solutions enables organisations to adapt to dynamic market conditions and gain a competitive edge. Moreover, by fostering a culture of creative thinking, businesses can unlock new perspectives and ideas, fueling continuous improvement and long-term success. Ultimately, the power to control the solutions to business problems lies within the organisation itself, and by leveraging their resources, knowledge, and creativity, businesses can overcome obstacles and thrive in an ever-evolving business landscape.
Know with more certainty what your business could achieve if it makes some changes.
Use risk management experts to help you make right choices
Once you know what your biggest business problems are you can identify how to best use limited business resources to reap the quickest gains to achieve greater business success more quickly.
Too often people in business at all levels of the organisation are working extremely hard. This can be a problem because they can burn out whilst solving problems that do not matter to the achievement of key business objectives. Solutions include employing more staff to work on the same minor business problems then business leaders wonder why they are spending more without any increase in business productivity and no business performance improvement.
Improving business performance requires better use of existing key business assets for a better return in your investment of time and money.
Develop the quality and capacity of your workforce to achieve more for themselves and the business

Its about connecting business leaders to local suppliers more easily
Local Suppliers Near Me Service
Local Suppliers Near Me
The benefits of local sourcing of business products and services are many and varied from environmental benefits to real cost savings to security of supply lines to flexibility of delivery.
In the UK it is more expensive to import goods and services from overseas due to around a 10 to 20 percent fall in the value of the pound against a basket of foreign currencies in the last 12 months. Where there may have been a substantial price difference between imports and domestic suppliers, this has mostly gone as can be witnessed by the fact that the UK is exporting more now that at any time since 1995.
BusinessRiskTV is championing local UK suppliers
We’re helping to connect UK companies with nearby local suppliers when business leaders source new products and services.
Stand out more from the crowd! Support UK businesses. Help promote local business growth by supporting your local business. Get real added benefit from new local suppliers and support them to help your own business needs. Help new local suppliers to grow with you for a long-term business relationship. Develop a more sustainable business model.
Sourcing products from around the world can lead to more cost and more business interruptions and less flexibility in meeting your customer needs.
Develop shorter local supply chains to build your business with more certainty. In a new Brexit world developing more local suppliers will guard against the negative impact of currency fluctuations.
Undertake thorough due diligence to ensure your new local suppliers are not going to increase the risks to your customers. Trust BusinessRiskTV to help you buy local next time.

Current interest rate in UK is 0.25 percent but this is set to rise in 2017
If the Bank of England pushes up UK interest rate, lenders will follow suit and it will cost you more money to buy a house build that extension lease a new car or invest in your business.
17th October 2017 UK Inflation Rises Even Further Beyond Bank of England Target of 2 percent
UK’s inflation reached 3 percent in September 50 percent higher than targeted according to the Office for National Statistics ONS.
3 percent is the UKs highest inflation level in since April 2012. This is a continuation a rising inflation trend in the UK. This validates the expectation of a UK interest rate hike in November 2017 especially as rising UK inflation should herald rising wages.
Pensioners will definitely win from September’s increase in inflation. UK state pension is linked to September’s inflation rate and this means pensioners will get a 3 percent wage rise next April 2018. The triple lock on pensions means that pensioners are guaranteed a minimum increase each year by whichever is the highest of Septembers inflation rate average earnings growth or 2.5 percent.
If you are planning on borrowing money in UK get in now whilst lenders rates are at their lowest
Could UK interest rates fall even further? Of course they could! Will they? Not on your nelly!
UK interest rate is currently at its lowest. The only way is up but when will they rise? They should have risen by now and as each day passes the likelihood of an increase in interest rate in UK increases.
Currently the UK manufacturing sector is selling more than it has ever done since 1988. Exports are at their highest since 1995. The UK manufacturing sector is trying to recruit more people.
Unemployment is at its lowest rate since the 1970s. Employment rate is at its highest ever. Millions of job vacancies are unfilled. Employers will have to increase pay to retain and attract staff and this will push inflation up higher.
Inflation is running at 2.9 percent and is probably already at 3.0 percent. The Bank of England has a KPI to trigger interest rate increases. Its 2.0 percent. UK inflation is currently 50 percent higher than the optimal inflation rate of 2.0 percent and if the Governor of the Bank of England was a balanced analyst he would know that he needs to help the Monetary Policy Committee to increase UK interest rate to 0.5 percent in 2017.
Mr Carney has today admitted UK businesses are investing more as the global economy is set to boom. The UK economy will probably grow at least as fast as 2016 and by the end of 2017 growth in UK will be a healthy 2.0 percent.
Increasing UK interest rate will support the value of the UK pound and this will make it slightly harder to export and slightly easier to import to UK which will help control inflation.
The UK needs to prepare for the next financial disaster that the financial services industry cook’s up. Part of the preparation is increasing interest rate towards the long-term UK average of 5.0 percent yes 5.0 percent not 0.5 percent. Even if the Bank of England did increase UK interest rate to 0.5 percent it would still be at a rate that is a tenth of the normal for the UK. Thats how far interest rates will go and it will go relatively fast to stop consumer bubble like that in car sales by finance.
So if you want to borrow money in the UK you will never get a better time to borrow than now. Mr Carney flip flops about when it comes to monetary guidance. One minute the economic data points to a UK interest rate rise the next Mr Carney thinks the same data points to maintaining UK interest rate, or even cutting UK interest rate. Mr Carney will soon be going on a mid career break with Mrs May. She will bore him to death about her policy of a strong and stable government, and he can bore her about his kangeroo petrol monetary guidance policy.
The new and enlightened and emboldened MPC should increase UK interest rate this year. If the MPC doesn’t then we need a new MPC.

18th March 2018 In Future UK Employees Pensions Maybe Better Protected
Avoiding or abusing pension responsibilities maybe made a crime under plans to crack down on business leaders who fail to comply with their responsibilities to protect pensions and pensioners in UK.
The UK’s Insolvency Service will also be given extra powers to help protect employees from negligent corporate business decision makers who put pension schemes at risk.
22nd January 2018 UK Prime Minister May Says UK Will Stop Abuse Of Pension Schemes By Executives and Shareholders
The scandal of continuous underfunding of UK pensions and the abuse of pension provision in the UK has been highlighted once again by the collapse of the UK’s second biggest construction company Carillion. Some 28,000 pensioners are likely to face reduced pension payments due to the collapse of Carillion with perhaps a £1 billion pension hole where Carillions money should be.
Instead of addressing the pension hole Carillion executives chose to boost the performance of the firm by underfunding the pension pot paying higher dividends and paying themselves larger bonuses than they would otherwise have been entitled to. Carillion pensioners will transfer to the Pension Protection Fund after the collapse of Carillion but many pensioners many pension members out of pocket when their pension is likely to be cut.
The UK Prime Minister says the UK will clamp down on executives who line their own pockets while not protecting workers pensions.
New rules in the spring of 2018 will aim to deal with executives who threaten worker’s pensions in order to benefit personally from bigger bonuses or rewards.
However Mrs May said last year after the BHS scandal that she would tackle executive abuse to pension contributions with no progress to date.
27th June 2017 UK Pension Regulator published its report into a deal under which Philip Green paid £363m to BHS pension scheme
The Pension Regulator says the main purpose in selling BHS was to prevent taking on liability for the BHS pension scheme. The Pension Regulator says that under Mr Greens watch the BHS pension fund had moved from a surplus into a deficit. However after Mr Greens personal recent substantial contribution BHS pension fund now has a £100m surplus.
However what is clear is that pension fund risk management is highly inadequate. Periodically massive pension fund shortfalls materialise into real financial loss to pensioners. This will continue until legislation corrects the inadequacy of the present regulatory control and monitoring. Perhaps the Pension Regulator could also do its job better. It needs to show its teeth earlier.
Citibank Report 2016
According to Citibank, the 20 largest OECD countries alone owe $78 trillion to their public sector pension funds funding for pay-as-you-go and defined benefit public pensions.
Do you pay into a private pension in UK? Your employer is not! Overall private pension funding in UK is only up to around two-thirds of what is needed. Around three quarters of a trillion pounds extra is needed to fully fund private UK pensions!
Where is this money going to come from to make sure you get your pension when you retire?
Carillion BHS Steelworkers et al are not the only ones who are worried about their retirement money!
Too many people in the UK who think they are saving for their retirement via a pension have been let down and will continue to be let down
Unfunded public sector pensions make up two-thirds of the £2 trillion UK pension liabilities. Private sector pension funds should hopefully become less of an issue as private pension funds or closed to new members and subsequently closed down altogether. However BHS has shown how private pension funds can throw up real problems for those saving for retirement or in retirement.
Why has the UK got saving for retirement so badly wrong?
Unfunded state pensions are the legacy of our fathers and mothers. They have failed to grasp the nettle of saving for retirement and have left a mess to the next generation in the UK whilst pocketing relatively generous pensions for themselves. This is compounded by unfunded central and local government employee pensions.
Public sector pensions are essentially like illegal Ponzi schemes where people think they are investing in their future retirement, but largely they are paying the pensions of those who are retired in UK now. They are really paying money with little more than a hope that the young of today will pay their pension when they retire. However there is no guarantee that the young of today and government’s of the future will feel inclined to pay for retired people’s lifestyles they have no hope of matching when the young eventually retire. The main risk control measure seems to be increasing the state retirement age. And so it continues.
Corrupt business leaders are also failing to pay into private pensions to fund the pension of many people in private sector funds. They seem to be hoping that they will get away with it and someone else will pick up the tab which is normally the retired person who did pay their fair share into the pension fund.
The pension scandal is yet more evidence of the failure of risk management, corporate governance and compliance to create a fair society and corporate culture. A demographic time bomb will soon explode but at the moment successive UK governments are happy to pass the parcel in the hope that the music doesn’t stop when they are in charge.

Scores of bankers have been jailed for their part in the financial crisis but the rest of the world should hang its head in shame for its lack of demonstration of accountability for actions and inaction in face of corporate risk
Financial services industry leaders not just bankers were highly culpable for the financial crisis upon which people committed suicide and a lost their shirts. Financial leaders should lose their liberty.
The next financial crisis is just around the corner. We have seen many incidents since the financial crisis that haven’t quite been systemic risk events but they have cost financial services companys billions in fines for poor and deliberate malpractice. Financial services leaders haven’t learnt their lesson. They are just paying lip-service to good corporate governance. Only the real threat of the jail will stop the next financial crisis happening.
Not only have the culprits for the financial crisis got away with it, they have gone on to be leaders in the financial services industry or other leading businesses.
From leading bankers to leading politicians to leading regulators to leading credit rating agency leaders to leading central bankers they have all prospered despite the financial crisis and many have gone from causing the financial crisis to other positions of power without being held to account for their actions or inaction.
There has been limited tightening of global financial services regulations but the ultimate sanction of losing your liberty is still highly unlikely. It still more likely that financial services leaders will depart their employer with handsome pay-offs and pension packages rather than serving time in a USA or UK jail.
Until individual financial services industry leaders face and are convicted of criminal prosecutions business leaders will continue to lead their employers to hefty financial penalties and even liquidation. If you kill someone at work, you at least have some real chance of going to jail. If you kill a corporate entity, you will almost certainly not go to jail in UK and USA. Appearing in court to face charges is not the same as losing your liberty for 7 to 10 years.
European countries have been a little more robust at jailing the guilty but only a few can be proud of their resolve to improve corporate governance in practice.

Safeguarding Your Business: Common Financial Mistakes Small Business Owners Make and How to Avoid Them
Small business owners often make financial mistakes that can have serious consequences for the success of their company. Here are some of the most common financial mistakes made by small business owners, and advice on how to prevent them:
Not keeping accurate financial records: Without accurate financial records, it can be difficult for small business owners to make informed decisions about the financial health of their company. To prevent this mistake, small business owners should establish a system for keeping accurate financial records, such as using accounting software or hiring a bookkeeper.
Not having a budget: A budget is an essential tool for small business owners, as it helps them to plan for expenses and manage cash flow. Without a budget, small business owners may overspend and find themselves in financial trouble. To prevent this mistake, small business owners should create a budget and stick to it.
Not having enough working capital: Working capital is the amount of money a business has available to cover its short-term expenses. Without enough working capital, small business owners may struggle to pay bills and meet other financial obligations. To prevent this mistake, small business owners should maintain a healthy level of working capital by managing expenses and seeking financing when necessary.
Not having adequate insurance: Insurance is an important tool for small business owners, as it helps protect their company against potential financial losses. Without adequate insurance, small business owners may find themselves facing financial ruin in the event of a disaster or other unexpected event. To prevent this mistake, small business owners should review their insurance needs and purchase the appropriate policies.
Not diversifying investments: Small business owners often invest a significant portion of their assets in their own company, which can be risky. To prevent this mistake, small business owners should diversify their investments to spread risk.
Not seeking professional advice: Small business owners often make financial decisions without seeking the advice of a professional. This can lead to costly mistakes. To prevent this mistake, small business owners should seek the advice of a financial advisor or accountant before making important financial decisions.
By avoiding these common financial mistakes, small business owners can increase the chances of success for their company.

BusinessRiskTV Hackers News: Protecting Your Business in the Age of Cyber Threats
In today’s interconnected world, the threat of cyber attacks and hacking has become an ever-present concern for businesses of all sizes. The advent of advanced technologies and the widespread use of the internet have created new opportunities for hackers to exploit vulnerabilities and gain unauthorised access to sensitive information. In this article, we will delve into the BusinessRiskTV Hackers News and explore the importance of cybersecurity measures for protecting your business from potential threats.
The Rise of Cyber Threats
The past decade has witnessed a significant rise in cyber threats, with high-profile hacking incidents making headlines around the world. Cybercriminals employ various tactics, such as phishing attacks, malware, ransomware, and social engineering, to compromise computer systems and steal valuable data. These attacks can have severe consequences for businesses, including financial losses, damage to reputation, and legal implications.
BusinessRiskTV Hackers News: Stay Informed and Vigilant
To navigate the complex landscape of cybersecurity, businesses need to stay informed about the latest hacking trends and best practices for protection. BusinessRiskTV Hackers News serves as a valuable resource for professionals, providing updates on emerging threats, case studies, expert insights, and practical advice on safeguarding digital assets.
By following BusinessRiskTV Hackers News, organisations can stay ahead of potential threats and proactively implement robust security measures. This proactive approach is vital because, in the face of ever-evolving hacking techniques, businesses must continuously update their defenses to counter new threats effectively.
Understanding the Impact of Cyber Attacks
A cyber attack can have severe consequences for businesses. Apart from financial losses resulting from stolen funds or disrupted operations, organisations may face significant reputational damage. Customers and partners lose trust in businesses that fail to protect their sensitive information, resulting in potential long-term consequences for brand image and customer loyalty.
Additionally, the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cybersecurity has become more stringent in recent years. Governments worldwide are enacting laws and regulations to hold businesses accountable for data breaches and privacy violations. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to hefty fines and legal repercussions, further highlighting the importance of prioritising cybersecurity.
Developing a Comprehensive Cybersecurity Strategy
To mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats, businesses must develop a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that encompasses both prevention and response. Here are some key elements to consider:
Risk Assessment: Conduct a thorough assessment of your organisation’s vulnerabilities and identify potential entry points for cyber attacks. This process involves analysing your IT infrastructure, networks, software applications, and employee practices to identify areas that require attention.
Employee Training and Awareness: Human error remains a significant factor in cybersecurity breaches. Educate your employees about best practices for data protection, recognising phishing attempts, and maintaining strong passwords. Regular training sessions and awareness campaigns can help foster a culture of cybersecurity within your organisation.
Secure Network Infrastructure: Implement robust security measures to protect your network infrastructure. This includes deploying firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regularly updating and patching software and hardware.
Data Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data to ensure that even if it is accessed unlawfully, it remains unintelligible to unauthorised individuals. Encryption provides an additional layer of protection for your most valuable information.
Incident Response Plan: Develop a comprehensive incident response plan that outlines the steps to be taken in the event of a cyber attack. This plan should include processes for isolating compromised systems, notifying relevant parties, preserving evidence, and restoring operations.
Collaborating with Cybersecurity Experts
Given the complexity and evolving nature of cyber threats, businesses can benefit from partnering with cybersecurity experts. These professionals possess specialised knowledge and experience in identifying vulnerabilities, implementing effective security measures, and responding to cyber attacks. By leveraging their expertise, organisations can enhance their overall cybersecurity posture and respond more effectively to potential threats.
BusinessRiskTV Hackers News provides a platform for businesses to connect with cybersecurity experts and gain valuable insights into the latest trends and best practices. By engaging with this community, businesses can access expert advice, receive guidance on risk assessment and mitigation strategies, and stay updated on emerging technologies and solutions.
Furthermore, collaboration with cybersecurity experts can help businesses in the following ways:
Vulnerability Assessments: Experts can conduct comprehensive assessments of your systems and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities that may be exploited by hackers. They can perform penetration testing, analyse your network architecture, and recommend specific measures to strengthen your defenses.
Security Solutions Implementation: Cybersecurity experts can assist in the selection and implementation of security solutions tailored to your business needs. This may include deploying advanced threat detection systems, intrusion prevention systems, endpoint protection tools, and secure data backup solutions.
Continuous Monitoring and Threat Intelligence: By leveraging the expertise of cybersecurity professionals, businesses can establish continuous monitoring systems that track network activity, detect anomalies, and proactively identify potential threats. Additionally, experts can provide real-time threat intelligence, ensuring that businesses are aware of the latest hacking techniques and can adapt their defenses accordingly.
Incident Response and Recovery: In the unfortunate event of a cyber attack, having cybersecurity experts by your side can significantly enhance your incident response and recovery capabilities. They can guide you through the process of containing the breach, mitigating damage, and restoring systems to normal operations. Their expertise can help minimise downtime and prevent further compromise.
In an era dominated by digital transformation and interconnectedness, the threat of cyber attacks is a constant concern for businesses. The BusinessRiskTV Hackers News serves as a valuable resource, providing businesses with up-to-date information, expert insights, and practical advice on cybersecurity measures.
By staying informed and implementing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, businesses can effectively mitigate the risks posed by cyber threats. Collaboration with cybersecurity experts further enhances their ability to protect sensitive data, maintain business continuity, and safeguard their reputation.
Remember, cybersecurity is not a one-time effort but an ongoing process. Businesses must continuously adapt and evolve their defenses to keep pace with the ever-changing threat landscape. By prioritising cybersecurity and leveraging the resources available through platforms like BusinessRiskTV Hackers News, businesses can proactively defend against cyber attacks and secure their digital future
