What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThis just in: the New York Post reports two Amazon employees were shot outside a Brooklyn facility over the weekend, and police sources say one was a bystander.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining us is Cornelius Rask, senior partner at Halvorsen Rask Obvious Solutions, who advises companies on workplace safety.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMr. Rask, what should a company do after something like this?
Cornelius RaskThank you, Hank. And this is the proprietary part: the first step is to make sure people are safe. We charge extra for that sentence.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFour thousand dollars an hour, I'm told. What does the second step cost?
Cornelius RaskThe second step is communication, and this is the proprietary part: you tell people what happened, in words. I have a quadrant for it, laminated.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat's in the quadrant?
Cornelius RaskFour boxes. Top left, Safety. Top right, Safety. I'm told the bottom ones are still in legal review.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThose are the same box.
Cornelius RaskHank, that's the synergy. The police are investigating, and this is the proprietary part: nobody should guess before they finish.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is what I said, in the first sentence of this segment.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe facts are two workers hurt, a late-night shooting, and no word yet on why.
Cornelius RaskAnd I'd add, proprietary again, that the family calling her an innocent bystander matters. I'll send that over as a deck.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA deck. Mr. Rask, in plain terms, what did four thousand dollars an hour buy this audience today?
Cornelius RaskYour question, Hank, answered back to you with confidence.
Cornelius RaskThat's eleven minutes, so it comes to about seven hundred thirty dollars, and I'll invoice the desk.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSend it to the box in the top left. It's the same as the others.
