A few weeks ago, I published a post on how we make decisions and vote at NextView. Usually when we record our votes, we also score each company based on five attributes. This isn’t used as a “scorecard” where companies need to clear a certain quantitative bar to get through our process.

by Kawal Preet, President, FedEx, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (AMEA). Not all change is exciting, right? After the year we’ve had so far, I think there’s no denying that. But for me, almost everything that is exciting involves change. Change into adulthood or parenthood; change of career; change of country.

All businesses are vulnerable to fraud, and the effects can be far-reaching. For your business, it could mean a damaging blow to your finances, a knock to your reputation, and legal implications.
