You're considering a bold innovation move. How do you address stakeholder concerns about the potential risks?

Eu gosto de desmitificar o que pode ser visto como ousado. Quando trazemos adjetivos grandiosos ou termos complexos, afastamos as pessoas. é normal nos distanciarmos de temas que desconhecemos

When you're steering innovation, you don’t ignore the waves. You navigate them. To address stakeholder concerns about potential risks, start by mapping uncertainties with data-driven insights and predictive modeling, turning fear into informed decisions. Create controlled "test waters" for innovation, showing how risks can be minimized. It’s not about jumping blindly but crafting a strategy for long-term stability. Engage stakeholders, showing that their concerns are anchors to keep progress steady, not stopped. By aligning safety and vision, you pursue innovation while ensuring shared success.

Inova??o precisa ser empolgante, mas também estratégica. Quando propus a introdu??o de IA em alguns clientes da BetaHauss, percebi que, embora a inova??o fosse empolgante, muitos executivos tinham receio dos riscos envolvidos. Por isso é t?o importante uma imers?o cultural de conscientiza??o, além de uma comunica??o clara e frequente, sempre trazendo os stakeholders para perto.

For me, the key is transparency and collaboration. First, communicate a clear vision that ties the innovation to long-term strategic goals. Stakeholders need to see how the idea benefits not only the company but also their individual objectives. Secondly, address concerns head-on with data-driven risk assessments and detailed mitigation strategies to demonstrate that potential challenges have been carefully considered. Finally, involve stakeholders in the process through continuous updates and open feedback channels. This fosters a sense of ownership and builds trust, transforming apprehension into support.

If your stakeholders are risk adverse, focus on presenting a clear, data-backed risk assessment alongside potential benefits. Show how the risks are being mitigated through pilot testing, phased implementation, or contingency plans.
