A risk workshop is an online platform where people from different departments in an organization meet, discuss, and score the risks. Every company has different objectives. The aim is to achieve these objectives at the end of the day. Moreover, this is only achievable when the company operates as a team and consult in case of any problems. Risk workshops have three phases which include the before risk workshop, during risk workshop, and after risk workshop. They entail the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the main phase of any successful risk workshop. It includes preparations, both yourself and the other people who are going to attend the workshop. You should prepare and have all the necessary guidelines and information that you will use in the risk workshop stage. Some of the ways to prepare for the successful risk workshop involves the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this phase, your primary concern should be that the objectives of the meeting are met at the end of the day. This is possible when the attendees are comfortable and can participate and engage themselves in the meeting. You can achieve that by following the procedures below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This phase involves following up on how the risks are being managed and the adjustments that need to be made for effective management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The above being said, there are useful tips that you can incorporate in your risk workshops <\/strong>to obtain success at the end of it all. Some of the tips include;<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you start the meeting on a low note or your audience notices that you are not that excited about the workshop, they will have the same energy, and you might end up not accomplishing your task. Be lively in the risk workshop as this is the only way you will engage the other participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not go into detail when holding discussions. The aim of the risk workshop is to bring up a discussion forum where the attendees can discuss their concerns and come up with an appropriate solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Preparation in advance gives you the upper hand in having every information on your fingertips. If, by any chance, any of the attendees have a question or a concern about any risk topic, you can easily and confidently give directions on how to go about that particular problem. Your audience will have faith and confidence in you because they believe that you know what you are doing and that they are in safe hands working with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is one of the reasons why doing a before-risk workshop is important. Ensure that the room you have planned on using is well lit and have working cable systems. You want this workshop to be a success, therefore, ensure that the sound, slide, projector<\/a>, and the systems work. You can decide to go the extra mile and have a technical expert go through all the connections and help you with anything you need.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Knowing your audience will help you understand if this particular group of people is the appropriate group for the meeting. For instance, if you select a group of people who do not care whether or not the risk register is updated, then it is evident that you have the attention of the wrong audience. The audience you select should be people who possibly work in the risk management department or people who know the impacts of risk, both positive and negative, to a company. Selecting the right audience means that you will have a group of people who are willing to work with you and give out the desired results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be as interesting as possible with your audience. No one loves boring, and you should not be boring during the workshop. You can break the discussion by throwing in one or two jokes, or do something appropriate that will make your audience crack with laughter. This will make them want to sit and hear more of your jokes. Afterward, shift again to the main agenda. This on and off shift keeps your audience active and engaged throughout the session. They will only realize that they are now tired when you are done with the risk workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is done by not giving every single detail to the attendees. If you provide them with everything they need, they will not have the urge to work hard and do more outside the meeting. The bitter truth is that they are right. What is the need to do extra research when you have everything you need? Do not spoon-feed your audience by going into details about the discussion, instead leave them wanting more information. This is the only way they will work extra hard and do research on the assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not finish the whole session without getting feedback from your audience. You can do this by carrying out the discussion the asking your audience questions after every topic discussion. This is the only way that you will know if they are on the same page with you. In addition to that, they will tell you what they think should be done and the steps they believe will work well with the needs of the company. This guarantees success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use short sentences in your presentation. Trust me, no one wants to read a long and tedious sentence that might not even make sense. If possible, you can use bullet points to make it easier for your audience to learn when you are doing your presentations. This also makes it possible for them to take useful notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This should be listed as a must-do for all the people who are attending the workshop. Reading prior to the risk workshop will keep everyone on the same page as they will discuss freely, and one person can remind the other about an important subject in case they forget to mention. This is easier said than done, but if achieved, your workshop will be much better than when both you and the attendees do not read in advance. You do not want to repeat the same information from time to time. When your audience notices that you lack flow and consistency in your work, they may get bored and will start doing things, contrary to the main agenda. Some might decide to check their social media, and some might choose to play games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have a substantial number of attendees at risk workshop that might be difficult to handle, it is important that you call in for help. A manageable number of people should be around 10 to 15 people. If you happen to hold a risk workshop with a slightly higher number, then you can have an assistant who you can shift turns with in organizing the meeting. The co-facilitator can handle all the incoming chat questions, and even provide technical support for anyone who may be having connection issues. This will make the whole workshop enjoyable and easy to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This might not be easy, but it does magic in making the risk workshop successful. Find fun in connecting with people via the internet. Approach the workshop with a sense of humor and excitement and go against all the odds that may pull you back. For instance, the world is currently faced with a deadly virus knows as the Corona Virus. People have been forced to work from home. This is because one of the most effective ways of containing the virus is through social distancing. Avoid using this excuse when approaching the online meeting. You can get the humor in other things and ease the mind of everyone. After all, we have heard it all about Corona Virus. We need something interesting to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A successful risk workshop needs proper planning to ensure that everything turns out as planned. In addition to that, you need to inform all the attendees in various ways that they can use to prepare in advance. This helps them have a rough idea of what the discussion will be about. The hard task comes in how you, as the coordinator, ensure that you achieve success at the end of the day. First, know your audience. These should be people who are well conversant with the topic of discussion and see the importance of holding that online meeting. In addition to that, you want this day to be a success, and to achieve this, ensure that you have an active connection, the slides are working just fine and that there is a constant supply of power. You do not want to leave your audience hanging because of a power shortage, as this will force you to reschedule the meeting.
