Making Sense

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.

10310709879?profile=RESIZE_400xAt 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

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.

Sensemaking

Sensemaking. This is the answer to my question last week about why risk workshops should deliver the success your audience craves. Yes, they identify risks to help us understand the uncertainty surrounding the objectives we wish to achieve. However, in doing so, we are helping the business make sense of a crazy world.

We should not be extracting information from a reluctant team, nor should we be collecting risks to report to the Audit and Risk Committee to get a pat on the back as a job well don

Extracting Teeth

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
