Over the last few weeks, I have encouraged you to look at risk workshops as pathways to creating clarity for teams about what is between them and success. Sensemaking or making sense of the world.
The secret to successful risk workshops is the preparation you undertake. I know you are busy, and preparing takes time. However, if there is one tip I give that I wish you would take and always follow, it’s to over-prepare for a risk workshop. The more you prepare the more insights you can create for t
At all levels of a corporation, key decisions have to be made quickly. This is particularly critical at the strategic level, when senior executives are expected to have an exceptional talent for systematic and organized decision-making. However, this is not simple, and there is also no clear path to follow.
There is a plethora of studies and thought leadership around formulating and implementing strategy—but little on maturing into a leader with exceptional judgment abilities. Chief Executive Off

Selecting ground-breaking new projects for additional investment and expansion is risky and difficult, as new ideas are fraught with technological and market uncertainty.

DMAIC methodology is one of the most widely used concepts to improve a process or function. They can also be used for creating strategies, work-flow, and most importantly conduct and implement Six Sigma projects.
If you want to learn about what DMAIC is, how it works, read: DMAIC: Approach to Continuous Improvement.
Now, let’s discuss how to choose good projects for DMAIC and Six Sigma. It’s one thing to pick a topic and dissect it, it’s a completely different aspect whether it benefits your organ
Recessions compel leaders of practically all organizations around the world to consider the consequences of a deeply disruptive crisis.
When confronted with a crisis, some leaders shine, causing their companies to grow stronger. Some appear to be stumbling. Others are merely bystanders while their organizations crumble.
Organizations that survive major disruptions are likely to emerge stronger and better prepared to predict and prepare for the next one.

MANAGEMENT REVIEW
Two years into the pandemic, we’re in a moment when both leaders and employees are trying to make sense of how the experience has changed them and imagining what comes next. In a webinar I led in early February with 250 people from over 100 companies around the world, many leaders expressed that they are feeling “betwixt and between” the certainties of the past and the unknowns of the future.

I’ve seen it in their eyes when there is a suggestion that we run a risk workshop.
For starters, they (board, executive, team) are very busy people. They have much to achieve, they have a good plan, they have good robust discussions, including about risk. Why do they need a risk workshop?
Maybe they have attended risk workshops in the past and they felt bored out of their minds. Perhaps the facilitator (was it you?) followed a drab, mechanical process to collect risks for the beloved “risk registe
