Here's how you can effectively convey failure to stakeholders in IT Outsourcing.

1) Risks must always be tracked. 2) If you know it is going to fail, the project must be halted. 3) If the project fails due to an unknowm risk which no one thought of, let your conscience speak 4) If it was your fault, own it up.

Keeping an up to date Risk Register of all known potential risks. It should include at a minimum, the likelihood of occurrence, impact to the business and the project, owner of the risk, and what can be done to prevent the risk and mitigate the risk if it comes to fruition. This is key to keeping stakeholders informed.

Transparency: Communicate the failure in an open and prompt manner. Root Cause Analysis: Clearly state the reasons for the failure. Impact Assessment: Describe the effects and possible courses of action. Ownership: Assume accountability and show that you are dedicated to finding solutions. Solution-Oriented Approach: Make suggestions for workable ways to reduce risks in the future. Continuous Improvement: Emphasize the changes made and the lessons discovered to stop recurrence.

Effectively convey failure to stakeholders in IT outsourcing by being transparent and taking responsibility. Clearly communicate the reasons behind the failure, outline the impact, and propose actionable steps for improvement or mitigation. Emphasize lessons learned and demonstrate a proactive approach to prevent similar issues in the future, ensuring stakeholders are informed and confident in your management of challenges.

N?o creio que esse processo alarmista seja o efeito positivo de uma possível e inesperada causa de risco eminente. Soa mais como uma possível desculpa para uma falha com mais probabilidade de risco. O Gerenciamento de risco n?o come?a com a certifica??o da família ISO 27000. N?o. Muitos, para cumprir, simplesmente, as leis e normativas de LGPD, as implantaram e seguem na "gaveta", pronta para ser resgatada a qq momento de crise. A conscientiza??o pela Gest?o de Risco, come?a no Planejamento Estratégico, no Plano de Negócios, passa pela Cultura e se estabelece no Clima Organizacional. Portanto, utilizar os preceitos e objetivos da ISO 31000, consolida essa conscientiza??o. Chega de desculpas ou antecipa??o delas.

I would add: - get in quickly. Get to your stakeholders and explain that there has been a failure. Don't risk them finding out from some other source. - yes, be direct, clear and factual but don't name names. It doesn't matter who caused the issue. Protecting your people pays dividends.

Communicating issues promptly and clearly is critical for stakeholder trust. Whilst it is important to understand what went wrong getting to the root cause can take time and divert resources from focusing on rapid resolution. The initial focus priorities should be on : 1. what is the situation 2. what is the impact 3. what is being done to mitigate it 4. what is being done to prevent it recurring

Mais do que relatórios minuciosos sobre ocorrências de falhas na constru??o da Matriz de Riscos, é a busca constante, por estressamento, dos riscos eminentes. Mais do que solu??es previsíveis sobre a possibilidade alta de riscos já identificados, é ter uma assessoria competente em buscar ocorrências de riscos aleatórios e já conhecidos em outras organiza??es correlatas ou concorrentes. A ocorrência de riscos aleatórios ou n?o conhecidos tendem, cada vez mais, a acontecer, do que aqueles onde temos certa seguran?a de evitá-los ou de pouco impacto. A tendência das empresas é por diminui??o de custos e do or?amento necessário para investir em SGSI. Ledo engano, pois, o prejuízo causado por essas decis?es tb é imenso.

Outsourcing a project or service does not affect our ownership of it - the outsource provider is our partner in delivering the project but we are still accountable for it. Sometimes when we experience an issue the subsequent discussions can help to unveil other previously unknown risks potentially allowing us to mitigate larger problems before they occur. Therefore wherever the error occurs, we should acknowledge the learning and the opportunity to improve.

Outro fator muito relevante, para a Gest?o de Riscos, é a implanta??o da "Gest?o de Conhecimento" e os processos de conscientiza??o, através de treinamentos constantes e de um correto processo de "Comunica??o". Tenho insistido, em muito, no meu meio, que a introdu??o dos objetivos e requisitos da ISO 31000, agregado aos dois projetos, acima, é crucial para que a Gest?o de Riscos tenha um resultado positivo, frente aos impactos negativos de ocorrências dessa natureza. Isso significa que "toda" a corpora??o tem que estar imbuída e conscientizada de suas responsabilidades quanto à esse significativo "Ativo Intangível" de sua organiza??o. Se acontecer o "estrago", n?o adianta "bater" no "peito" e assumir as suas responsabilidades. N?o mesmo.

One thing I've found useful is to leverage the support of the stakeholders in this part of the process to prioritise the right people is helping build a solid and realistic plan, this allows them to be actively involved in the recovery process instead of waiting for updates

Transparency, accountability, and a proactive approach are essential for effectively addressing failures when standing with stakeholders. It is crucial to actively listen, ask open-ended questions, and ensure mutual understanding through clear and concise communication. Demonstrating empathy and respect fosters a positive and meaningful conversation while actively working towards solving the problem. Also, post updated data toward the resolution as soon as you receive updates from trusted sources.

Regular updates, delivered when you said they would be, are key. Always leave the stakeholder with a commitment as to the time you will deliver the next update and then stick to it, even if the update is, "No update"!

Conveying failure to stakeholders in IT outsourcing requires transparency and a constructive approach. As CEO of Era Biz, I emphasize the importance of clear communication and accountability. Start by acknowledging the failure promptly and providing a thorough explanation. Highlight the steps taken to address the issue and prevent recurrence. Seek feedback from stakeholders on how the situation was handled, demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement and valuing their input. This approach not only fosters trust but also helps to minimize future failures.

Some issues, outages, failures are not ok. Some cause huge and complex business issues and this can be reflected in the stakeholder frustration. Keep calm, keep professional. Do your job efficiently, keep communicating, keep assessing whether to bring in more people, more expertise. Work the problem.

It’s not always true that failure to hit your original goal is the end. Always see if it’s possible to pivot to a different destination. Don’t ignore the sunk cost fallacy but do seek value in what has been completed. Related - your delivery plan should always seek to deliver useful and worthwhile things before the eventual goal is reached, and any potential total failures should be front loaded in the plan. If you’re going to fail, do it quickly.
