“[Vaccine mandates in other areas is] one of those things that I think risk managers will do well to … pay attention to because you don’t know if it’s going to impact your specific operation at some point. And these days, everybody’s got operations all over.” — Morgan O’Rourke
“The flip side of the coin on a lot of the bad stuff that happens is that it makes us more resilient if we handle it, react to it, and are aware of it.” — Morgan O’Rourke
“Trying to stay in communication with everyone is the best way to … head off that isolation effect. It’s not going to be 100% perfect … but … trying to communicate — even if it’s not your style or comfort zone — … [is the most important thing]. ” — Morgan O’Rourke
“I think a lot of the things we need to look at when we’re looking at risks are going to be not just the event, but … the broader impact of the event.” — Morgan O’Rourke
