  Be a good generalist, and get very involved and earn the trust of all your fellow company workers from line to supervision to senior management.  Learn, get involved, listen, prepare, take action, teamwork and then redo it all again.

  Have all stakehkolders pose their most burning questions on program plan directly to one another in person to person forum.

  See if other stakeholders can provide answers, or if more questions arise. 

  Get all the questions out in the open: identify the key questions.

  Use these questions to inform the obstacles/risks.

  Build a safe environment for open exchange about ways to minimize/eliinate risk.

  Speaking about biases (and IMHO, Risk Managers are subject to them too...), I suggest you google "Cognitive biases potentially affecting judgment of global risks".  This will point you to an interesting article, itself containing numerous links to other references.

  I don't think that this is the role of the Risk Manager.  That's the role of Management.

  Donna says: I think Risk Management proposes the framework, the CEO provides feedback or agress, and the Board approves. That way the entire set of risks can be included; clear thresholds set, and the metrics appropriate to the size and complexity of the risk type can be put in place.
