    Before entering Iraq, Talisman must do their due diligence in order to maximize profits and minimize risks. Due diligence would require a thorough review of both surface and subsurface risks to successfully extracting oil from Iraq and bringing it to market. It is important that they clearly indicate what needs to be done. Given Talisman’s background in Sudan: 1) Being accused of indirectly giving weapons to the Sudanese government by the NGOs which created lots of media attention and bad press. 2) Talisman used their influence and adopted steps to stop human rights abuse in Sudan, leading them to become the largest independent oil and gas firm on the basis of revenue. 3) NGOs and Sudanese people formed a lawsuit against Talisman insisting they were assisting the violation of human rights in Sudan, which then lead to Talisman having to sell their share of the Sudan case. Given the current activity in Iraq: 1) Surface risks: - substantial risk that the government may decide to expropriate the land and nationalize oil production, - ongoing concerns having to deal with corrupt military, police and government representatives, - infrastructure concerns and communication abilities and - potential outside influences from NGOs will also have to be addressed. 2) Subsurface risks: -proof of oil but hasn’t been found by the other Canadian oil company. In addition, Talisman has factors that make investing in Iraq desirable: -proof of 39 billion barrels of oil, - Kurdistan is said safer and has political stability.…

    When my company decided to close their office Tigard, Oregon, impacting over 800 employees.

This took guts and talent to communicate, that empowered with training programs, one on one and group meetings, a lot of listening and talking, we charted each of our personal feelings.
