I’m heading down to the Internet2 conference which is in Austin this week. They invited me to be on a panel tomorrow about Can we get ahead of the Crackers?

My answer is: yes, if we leverage technology with collective action. After all, force majeure events are aggregated; they affect multiple organizations. So strategies to pool risk across and beyond the pool of affected enterprises. This is what insurance does, and there are financial and other risk management strategies beyond that.

The panel will be webcast.
