Theory-N2-Practice

In this episode of Theory-N2-Practice, we talk about Leadership and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) with Mel Thomson and Marcus Haynes. Don’t miss it; it was a great interview!

Mel Thomson leads Enterprise Risk Management at the City of Phoenix. She focuses mostly on uninsurable risks that can impact the city’s strategic plans and goals. Through consulting and facilitation, Mel works with city departments to engage with others in a formalized process to identify, assess, mitigate, and prioritize cross-cutting risks. This allows teams to manage and optimize their risks to either acceptable or unacceptable levels, while leveraging the upside of risks. She also works with leaders to craft their appetites to connect risks vertically and horizontally which produce risk-based decision making and value throughout the city.

Marcus Haynes is a seasoned public safety professional with more than 17 years of dedicated service as a firefighter, paramedic, and hazardous materials technician. He is deeply committed to protecting lives, property, and fostering safe environments. Marcus is equipped with a diverse skill set that enables him to effectively respond to a wide range of emergencies, including fires, accidents, health crises, and hazardous materials incidents.
In addition to his hands-on experience, Marcus has developed the ability to analyze complex organizational challenges, enhance policy options, and mitigate risks for both the department and the community at large. He holds a master's degree in global security and a bachelor's degree in emergency management, allowing him to approach crisis and disaster management from a holistic and strategic perspective. Marcus values integrity, kindness, resilience, and community and is driven by a mission to make a positive impact in the world.

The main purpose of a code of ethics is to help professionals do what is morally right in any situation where the answer may not always be apparent. Codes of ethics provide a standard and benchmarks for how one behaves and supports the overall occupational identity of emergency managers. With a code of ethics, decision making for moral dilemmas is protected from the typical dangers that exist when the decisions are made ad-hoc.
