For any successful risk management process, it is important to start by involving all stakeholders each step of the way. A consultative team approach helps ensure risks are identified effectively, efficient prevention strategies are developed and all stakeholders take ‘ownership’ of the plans.

• Identify the range of risks within your organisation and brainstorm strategies to manage them

• Ensure those responsible for implementing risk management plans understand the risks and why preventative actions are required
  
  
• Discuss people’s varying perceptions and concerns about risks and integrate these into the decision making process
