What are the best ways to show that you are an effective communicator in risk management?

O gestor de riscos interage com diversos stakeholders em diferentes níveis na organiza??o. Entender as suas motiva??es, interesses e praticar a empatia é o primeiro passo para uma comunica??o efetiva. N?o é sobre tudo o que você sabe a respeito de um tema, mas sim, o que o seu interlocutor precisa saber. Essa reflex?o certamente ajudará a desenha a estratégia de comunica??o mais adequada a cada situa??o.

To be an effective and listened to contributor, you first have to understand the level and needs of your audience. Based on my experience, few try to use complex jargons when communicating or delivering an executive presentation/report. Which may not be effective as senior leadership requrie to make strategic decisions based on accurate and to the point information/data. Complex technical jargons in such situation might cause confusion and waste time since you might be required to elaborate or define,

Through my experience I understand that even within well-defined segment of audience; varied knowledge, beliefs, perceptions and values may exist that can be traced and addressed accordingly to communicate the risk management expectations most effectively. This may involve identifying readiness and potential concerns of audience through anticipating the questions they may have about managing risk through a certain strategy. Addressing these concerns on point in communication makes it more relatable and impactful.

Demonstrating active and clear communication in risk management involves articulating complex concepts in a straightforward manner and tailoring messages to diverse stakeholders. Regularly providing concise and well-documented risk assessments, along with actionable recommendations, showcases your ability to communicate effectively and ensures that stakeholders comprehend the potential risks and mitigation strategies clearly.

To be an effective communicator it is wise to understand target audiences' need, be precise, be focused and an active listener then expose. When there is a topic like risk management, then root cause analysis is must and then treatment plan should be started. Being engaged and inspired in your work area firstly identify root and cause of the risk, then properly plan to get rid of it, then speak up with the solution with proper analysis pros and cons and lastly act accordingly. In addition, alternate planning has to be there if Plan A fails. If your plan acts as per your requirements and target people understand and appreciate your motive, then we can say effective communication in risk management is successful.

We all have a "sign" on our foreheads, "What's in it for me?" If you keep that in mind during your communication, you will reach your audience. Far too many people approach risk management or any other issue from "their perspective" and not those you are addressing.

Simplicity has always been considered the best way to get the message across and it is important to ensure that simply yet concise language, methods, or approaches are utilised when managing risks. It is therefore absolutely important to ensure that accurate and detailed documentation is made available to further enable independent replication and review of the methodologies or approach used, this will further ensure that assurance can be provided by those that are tasked with such responsibilities, but all in all, effective use of simple language will ensure that correct mitigation measures are utilised to reduced the impact of such risks.

The use of simple language and the avoidance of technical jargons certainly will drive home your point and prevent ambiguity...

Provide meaningful, relevant, and accurate information in clear and understandable terms.Clear—main ideas easily identified and understood. Concise—gets to the point without using unneeded words or images. Concrete—includes specific examples or explanations.

Neben der klaren und einfachen Sprache, machen vor allem Beispiele und Stories die Dinge greifbarer und verst?ndlicher. Suchen Sie daher entsprechende Beispiele und Analogien und bauen Sie diese in Ihre Risikokommunikation ein. Ermutigen Sie auch zum Nachfragen, falls etwas nicht verstanden wurde. Durch eine offene und transparente Kommunikation werden Sie zus?tzlich Vertrauen aufbauen.

In my experience as someone who works to support vendors and teams remotely I have found that to choose the correct medium, one has to first identify how quickly the response is needed along with ensuring the correct stakeholders are included for visibility. If multiple stakeholders need to be informed of a change or deviation then email might be the correct medium as it allows the sender to convey the message to a specific person but also allows secondary stakeholders to stay informed. If a vendor is looking for a quick response to make adjusts in real time, then a call or video conference might be appropriate as it allows both parties to easily communicate and discuss solutions to address the problem.

Los medios electrónicos nos permiten acercar posiciones y valorar intenciones. Finalmente una comunicación personal le dará carácter de compromiso. Aunque sea por videoconferencia.

Understand your audience, choose the right medium to present with. Make your audience remain interested i what you are presenting. Encourage feedback.

Für die effektive Krisenkommunikation mit Stakeholdern und Shareholdern sind verschiedene Informationskan?le entscheidend. Shareholder erreicht man über etablierte, formelle Kan?le wie Gesch?ftsberichte, Investorenkonferenzen und Pressemitteilungen o.?. Bei Stakeholdern bedarf es eines multimodalen Ansatzes. Mitarbeiter erreicht man über interne Kan?le, so k?nnen Sicherheitsma?nahmen, Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitspl?tze und unterstützende Ressourcen kommuniziert werden. Kunden und die ?ffentlichkeit sind über externe Kan?le wie offizielle Websites, soziale Medien und Kundendienstplattformen gut erreichbar. Klar formulierte Botschaften zu Kontinuit?t und Probleml?sungen tragen hier zur Kundenbindung bei.

Remember to connect your risk management to support the achievement of growth/revenue, cost containment, and brand/reputation. I like to use the Golden Circle from Simon Sinek in these situations. Employees need explanations for the How, What, and Why of risk management in your organization. Employees should know WHAT risk management can do for their organization. Then, HOW risk management helps your organization's product and services stand out. Lastly, the WHY for risk management purpose/mission. Then, risk management becomes muscle memory for a robust risk culture.

Listening first is the best way to start effective communication. Risk Managers have a lot of information to share but but Risk managers should focus on what information their audience needs at that time. That can only be achieved through listening first then choosing the messages that are most appropriate.

Ask the best questions and you will get the best answers. Ask no questions and you're just talking to yourself. It's amazing how much people know and will share if they're asked. Assume everyone has some knowledge worth sharing. Those best questions will draw out that knowledge.

Os embates s?o parte do dia a dia do gestor de riscos. Ouvir opini?es divergentes e refletir sobre diferentes angulos de um tema é fundamental para chegar a solu??es adequada em um mundo cada vez mais complexo. Um erro comum é pensar na resposta antes que o seu interlocutor tenha apresentado o seu ponto até o final. Escuta ativa e reflex?o ir?o ajudar na argumenta??o. Por fim, n?o devemos ter apego as nossas opini?es iniciais. “Só os mortos e os loucos nunca mudam de opini?o.”

Na minha experiência, aprendi, principalmente na fase de identifica??o de riscos, que devemos conduzir os envolvidos a falarem muito, e realizar um filtro em momento posterior. Se tentarmos delimitar de forma muito engessada, provavelmente ser?o inibidas informa??es que seriam relevantes para a identifica??o de riscos e também para as a??es em resposta a eles.

An effective risk manager not only communicates but also ensures follow-up and follow-through. It's vital to confirm that your message is received, understood, and acted upon. Offer additional support where necessary and monitor the impact of your communications, actively seeking feedback for improvement. For example, after discussing risk strategies, check with your team to ensure understanding and application. This approach showcases your commitment, accountability, and professionalism, enhancing the efficacy of your risk management practices.

One thing I have learned about communication is that you need to listen, participate and follow up and follow through. In a risk environment, the onus on successfully mitigating risks is when one understands the risks at play (and this can only be done when you listen attentively). After that, you need to ensure that you have mitigating factors or solutions to the risk (basics). The most crucial part starts when you’d start doing follow ups and follow through on whatever measures you recommended or agreed on. If you don’t oversee this critical step (follow up and follow through) then you are not a good risk communicator, whilst if you make this a priority, rest assured you are on the right path to becoming a good risk communicator.

A leader should have a emotional intelligence with which he should respond appropriately and listen appropriately when different parties are involved but also make anyone understand that he understood the message and also understands their position . Once the others recognise that you have REALLY listen to them then they would be ready to listen to you.

I agree and would add, that you should think about the questions your audience may want to ask ahead of time, be prepared to answer those questions and finally be ready to respond to anything you don’t have the answer to. Don’t be afraid to say that you don’t know the answer and that you will follow up to provide the needed information once you have investigated and determined the answer.

Absolutely! I consider this as most essential. We cannot take things for granted. By following up and following through you are ensuring that your message has clearly reached the audience. You can go even a step further by citing practical situation and having role plays. This builds confidence & gives clarity to the audience.

Whenever possible I try to communicate via visualizations. This way one can communicate complex topics in easy ways and highlight whats important. But be careful, every visualization is also a simplification.

Be careful of defining a risk too broadly. A risk should be clearly defined to focus on a core issue. If a risk is too broad, it can lead to confusion and misalignment of teams. This can result in teams wasting time trying to fix secondary issues caused by the risk rather than it's root.

It Involves clarity, transparency, and collaboration. Clearly articulate complex risk concepts using simple language, ensuring that stakeholders understand potential impacts. Regularly engage in transparent and proactive communication about risks, providing updates on mitigation strategies and progress. Foster collaboration by actively listening to stakeholders, incorporating their insights, and encouraging open dialogue. Create concise and informative reports, highlighting key risk information. Showcase your ability to tailor communication styles to various audiences, whether it's executives, team members, or clients. Lastly, be responsive and approachable, welcoming questions and feedback, which enhances trust.

Providing timely communication is crucial. Building trust becomes easier when firms navigate effectively and communicate well, minimising missteps in any direction. Customer data leaks is an example, timely notification of potential issues will help ensure protecting customers.

The best way to communicate in a risk environment is to use Dashboards which are refreshed at Real-Time so that all the risk metrics can be measured and classified according to their severity Red, Amber and Green. This is the best way to enable relevant responsive actions
