		<description><![CDATA[There is not much point in doing an assessment of risks and not doing anything about them. Too many of us do just that though &#8211; analyse but don&#8217;t act on the analysis. Why &#8211; fear, doubt, lack of knowledge? Who knows &#8211; doing something is critical though. So the next step is to take [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=governanceinpractice.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6311848&amp;post=112&amp;subd=governanceinpractice&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
