War Zones
Just as Sars-Cov-2 disrupted business, war and geopolitical instability also affect supply chains, energy prices, and raw material availability
The conflict in Ukraine has driven energy costs up and created shortage of key materials.
Ongoing tensions in the Middle East (and the threat Iran could pose to the Hormuz Strait, through which 20% of world oil consumption is transitting) and around Taiwan – a major supplier of semiconductors – can disrupt global flows.

A real-world example
Arcelor-Mittal’s steel business significantly affected by the shortage of semiconductors. Sounds weird, doesn’t it?
On closer inspection, it seems rather a logical outcome once you consider how much the automotive industry (a key customer segment for steelmakers, accounting for 20-30% of their total revenue) depends on chips
Managing your Clients’ risks is part of managing your own.

Take advantage of opportunities
Uncertainty also creates opportunities – as long as you are ready to seize them!
Because opportunities, like risks, must be prepared for…

Zoom, the Opportunist
Honestly, who knew about Zoom before Covid?
While the pandemic has been catastrophic for many, it has represented an opportunity for others
Still, you need to be able to seize those opportunities!
Had Zoom not been able to scale its infrastructure rapidly to meet the growing demand (connection stability, audio and video quality,…), the story would certainly have had a different ending.
Opportunities, like risks, must be prepared for!

Kodak, un cas d'école
En 1975, Steven Sasson, ingénieur chez Kodak, crée le premier appareil photo numérique.
La direction est fascinée… mais aussi terrifiée.
Kodak vend des pellicules, beaucoup de pellicules. La photo numérique menace leur modèle économique.
Alors ils enterrent le projet.
En 2012, Kodak dépose le bilan.
Kodak avait parfaitement identifié le risque pour son Business Model… mais a préféré l’ignorer.

Mission
The Sars-Cov-2 episode severely reminded us that our world, as we always knew it, could dramatically change from one day to the next, with severe consequences on many aspects of our lives. Though, experience showed that only a few (and this excludes many governments, businesses and organizations) were actually ready for it.
All businesses are exposed to Risks. Identifying and managing those risks is not only a legal requirement, but also a matter of survival for many businesses. However, for smaller businesses, because of alleged costs, complexity or lack of knowledge, this important section of a business strategy is just ignored.
Thus, making Risk Management accessible to everyone, thanks to an innovative and affordable offer – Risk Management as a Service – is our mission.
Vision
Making things complicated may give people who have the Knowledge a feeling of power. We just think the opposite: sharing the Knowledge makes everyone richer. That’s why we’re always favoring a pragmatic, business-oriented, and customer-centric approach, through concepts that our customers can immediately take ownership of.
Values
- Pragmatic: no Big Theory or complex ideas, but easy-to-understand concepts, that can be turned immediately into action
- Business-oriented: no posture or marketing tricks: we’re acting only if we’re providing value to the business
- Customer-centric: everything we do should be done with Customer in mind. Finally, if it’s not bringing added value to the Customer, is it worth being done?
Who we are.

With 20 years of experience in Risk Management, combined with a confirmed practice in a Business Management role, Emmanuel has adopted a very pragmatic view, very close to business needs.
Having developed and maintained Quality, Security & Safety Management Systems over the years, from Concept to Technical & Organizational preventive Measures, from Risk Assessment to Emergency Responses in an ever more demanding environment, he also had to face as Quality, Security & Infrastructure Manager a severe fire event in 2009 – an episode he will never forget.
Now founder of the LRNG Risk Consulting group, he is eager to share his expertise*, always keeping in mind the organization’s needs and budget constraints, which cannot be disconnected from any suitable risk mitigation strategy.
