Ten years, then back to Monday.
A forecast that does not end in something you can do this quarter is entertainment. Every session I run works backwards from the future to the decision available now.

About
Rippon Ridge is me.
Judgment / Direction
I spent my career on the part of technology risk that does not fit on a dashboard, which is judgment. Controls can be audited and maturity can be scored. Whether an organization is making sound decisions about what is coming is a harder question, and it is the one leadership is accountable for.
Rippon Ridge is the vehicle for that work. It is me, taking on a small number of engagements I am well suited to.
The work begins where the dashboard stops.
Working principles
How I work
02
Specific beats broad.
The useful answer is one person, in one place, with one problem, and the thing they have not yet realized is happening to them.
03
Plain language.
If a director cannot repeat your risk position back to you in their own words, it has not been communicated.
Fit / 03
Where I am most useful
01
Leadership teams working through emerging technology
02
Boards and committees responsible for technology and risk oversight
03
Executives needing an independent view before a consequential decision
