It's never too late to start planning for situations in your business.  One of those situations is Bankruptcy, specifically Chapter 11.  Karl sat down with Brian Holland, Partner at Lathrop GPM and they talked about what the stages are and what should a business start planning for.  Nobody plans to go bankrupt, but if the situation arises it's best to have a plan in place.

Businesses and organizations of all sizes collect, store, and share personal information about individuals with whom they interact, and that data ranks among a company’s most important assets.

While new technologies and easy access to information allows for greater innovation and enhanced delivery of products and services, that is accompanied by an ever-increasing potential for liability, and the protection of data maintained on consumers and employees requires a broad range of legal compliance activities. It is important to prioritize and protect sensitive, confidential and proprietary information. If a breach or data loss occurs, it immediately places a company’s reputation and bottom line at risk.

Lathrop GPM’s Global Privacy, Cybersecurity & Data Protection group has a tradition of excellence in this evolving area of the law, and routinely guides clients through the high-paced investigation, notification and response involved in a data breach or loss. Thier team brings special experience in laws and regulations relating to information technology, employment, health care, insurance, and financial institutions, as well as certifications in both United States and European data privacy law (CIPP/US and CIPP/E) from the International Association of Privacy Professionals that allow the team to provide exceptional legal services.

This week I spoke to a very special guest, Bruce Mau the Author of a new book called MC24, which relates to Massive Change, and the 24 Principles of Design that Bruce has developed over the past 20+ years.

In the interview, Bruce touches on how change can impact the environment, and if designed in the right way gives us the opportunity to help us towards a sustainable planet.

I love what Bruce was saying about how we, as human’s, have to take responsibility in taking charge of designing solutions that delivers “Normal”, and planning the way we move forward, instead of waiting for Change to dictate the “New Normal”.

If we are not in control, “change” can be an extremely dangerous position for Humanity to be placed in.

The answer is; we need massive change to take back control and plan, design and implement these 24 principles in this book.
