THE RISK INSTITUTE EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SERIES: BALANCING RISK TO CREATE VALUE
ZIKA - CAN WE PREDICT THE NEXT
PANDEMIC OUTBREAK?
THE CONVERSATION ABOUT RISK STARTS HERE
ABOUT THE RISK INSTITUTE
The World Health Organization (WHO) and other health
organizations have called for multiple top-level meetings to
address the Zika virus and its worldwide impact. Researchers
first discovered the virus nearly 70 years ago. Very few cases
were reported until 2007 when an outbreak on Yap Island in
Micronesia infected nearly 70% of the population ages three
years and older. WHO warns that the virus could potentially
spread to every country in the Americas. Evolutionary biology
provides valuable insight into virus eruptions like Zika and how
we might anticipate outbreaks and reduce thier effects.
Dr. Julie E. Mangino (OSU Infectious Diseases), Professor Steve
Rissing (OSU Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology), Nancy
Green (Aon Risk Solutions) and Thomas E. Hopkins (The
Sherwin- Williams Company) collaborate to provide insights on
the evolution, spread, prevention, mitigation and business
impact of Zika and other viruses that have the potential to make
a significant impact on business and society.
The Risk Institute brings together
leading academics and forwardthinking companies who
understand that effective risk
management strategies position
them to create value in a
competitive and dynamic
marketplace. The Risk Institute
Executive Education Series arms
practitioners with fresh
perspectives and approaches to:
Executives will learn:
• How evolutionary biology provides insight into eruptions of
Zika and other similar viruses.
• The facts about the spread of the Zika virus and how to
mitigate the fear factor.
• The facts about prevention, treatment, and links to specific
birth defects.
• How to prepare your business for Zika and other pandemic
viruses, including business travel concerns.
• Identify, measure and manage
risks critical to an organization’s
success.
• Apply leading academic research
to business strategies for more
competitive and sustainable
advantages.
• Communicate effective risk
management strategies to create
an integrated and enterprise-wide
approach.
• Create an organizational culture
that manages risk proactively by
allowing ideas, innovation and
initiatives to flourish.
ENGAGEMENT WITH OTHER SENIOR EXECUTIVES
Executives will have the opportunity to engage in a panel discussion
with session leaders, other invited panelists and their peers about
Zika and pandemic planning. Lunch will also provide participants
with an opportunity to network.
