Free GRC 'Book'

June 19, 2008

For my money, here are the most important insights contained in a new GRC booklet Deloitte is offering for free:

The Narrow View: GRC is about policy.
The Bigger Picture: GRC is about people and behavior.
The Narrow View: GRC is about tone at the top.
The Bigger Picture: Integrated GRC runs deep.

These wrong/right views appear on a page 19 of the nicely designed and breezily written 32-page booklet. The publication calls to mind a "Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten" approach to GRC, and it works well as a collection of high-level reminders for executives charged with crafting and implementing GRC strategy -- and/or as a motivational tool for the people deeper in the organization whose behavior determines the success of that strategy.

The booklet can be ordered or downloaded here: click "Book No. 8: Growing Confidence."
