Strategic Risk Workshops
Have the conversations that need to be had.
Risk workshops deliver insights to decision making for management and board, enhancing leadership, and strengthening delivery of strategy.
A strategic risk workshop
A great risk workshop means:
- Unidentified challenges found, discussed and articulated.
- Innovative solutions explored to current and new challenges.
- Decisions are made that will achieve 80% or more of targets 20% sooner due to less backtracking.
The reluctance of some senior leaders to formally assess risk is to be expected if they don’t see the benefit when they “manage risk every day”. After a board or executive risk workshop facilitated by me, the most common thing you will hear is: “That was not what I was expecting! We’ve never had a conversation like that before.”
I don’t come with a check list, with pre-conceived ideas, with bias. I come with a well-rehearsed formula designed to help senior leaders think things through like they have not before.
Leaders who know there are no certainties in life and value new insights into old, new and emerging challenges, love my workshops.
The truth of the matter is that a well-facilitated risk workshop is a wonderful use of a senior leader’s time. Risk is not a compliance function. Done well, risk workshops provide valuable insight and can help lead the organisation in new and brave directions. Faster, with increasingly agile decision making.
It’s like putting on a pair of prescription glasses for the first time, you see everything so much more clearly.
