Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (W.A.S.A.)

The Caribbean Risk Management Academy (CRMA) conducted a series of workshops for executive management, during my tenure as Director Corporate Services at the Water and Sewerage Authority. These workshops were meant to bring into focus the concept of managing risk as part of corporate governance. The workshops were professionally executed by Mr. Ken Hackshaw, President of the CRMA, and our management team benefitted significantly as a result. Two areas of risk which were brought into sharp focus were – excessive vacation leave accruals by managers, and supply chain risk. Our management team were also provided access to the CRMA’s online risk management portal, which served to cement the discussions during the workshops. It is therefore without reservation that I recommend the CRMA to your organization.

Mr. Hackshaw was able to share his vast corporate expertise and experience to bring home a very real understanding of risk management. More than that, he made the presentation relevant to our situation, often citing current research and cases that deftly illustrated the key aspects of the program. His interactive, engaging style resulted in a session where all benefitted with a renewed insight into risk management.

Thank you to you and your team, Mr. Hackshaw, for the work you did with us at FCB.
