about "avoiding bad news".
It doesn't need to be that way.

Risk Management
can help us drive
positive outcomes
and real bene鍖ts.

Getting on the front foot
Risk Management is so often reactive and defensive.
"What will we do if something bad

We just turn it round a little
Think differently. Imagine the possibilities. Ask questions.

"What does the end state look like?"

"How could this situation provide
us with an opportunity?

"Imagine how much better
things would be.."

"How much extra value will we add by
solving this problem?"

It's not about cutting corners
Keep the same practices.

Engage the same people.

Apply the same discipline.
