About this talk

Few careers involve managing as much risk as one where you’re responsible for launching humans riding gigantic rockets into outer space. That’s exactly what Barrios Technology Chief Strategy Officer Ginger Kerrick did during her three-decade career working for NASA. On this episode of GRC & Me, Ginger joins LogicGate’s Chris Clarke to discuss methods for developing methodical, standardized thought processes for risk decision-making in high-stakes scenarios, how NASA employees are trained to separate logic from emotion, how disasters can inform future mitigation planning, and why the most important part of managing risk is having the right leaders in place.
