Managing Risk, Issues & Uncertainty

We help you to navigate a clear path through complex situations and make effective decisions in uncertain environments.

Our workshop-based processes allow groups of individuals with a variety of perspectives and expertise to develop a common understanding of their project or organisation in hours rather than days:

Our tools & approaches provide you with:

  • Rapid assimilation of disparate items of knowledge held by various team members to allow group sense-making of previously uncertain or partially-understood issues
  • Collaboration, consensus building and alignment – developing a clear shared project story suitable for internal and external use
  • Identification of the critical factors affecting your project or decisions
  • Information to allow you to react early and confidently to unfolding situations.

Our risk workshops are carefully designed to mitigate against individual cognitive biases (e.g. anchoring, optimism bias) and group issues (e.g. idea fixation, unequal contribution, production blocking). Creative and collaborative identification and aggregation techniques are used to develop a coherent risk picture across project and organisational boundaries.

Working with our partner CGR, we can combine our risk management workshops with CGR’s cloud-based enterprise governance, risk and compliance platform to provide an integrated risk management service.

Building the engagement of the whole project team in identifying risks and issues and exploring responses actively promotes increased collaboration and innovation. We present the workshop outcomes to provide management and executive teams with the insights and knowledge that they need to make effective decisions.
