Risk Workshops
Identifying risk collectively — drawing on every discipline in the room, not one party's view of what could go wrong.
What’s included
- Facilitated risk identification workshop at project gateways.
- Structured facilitation techniques including prompt lists and brainstorming.
- Multi-disciplinary stakeholder participation (client, design, cost, construction).
- Risk register population from workshop output.
- Risk categorisation and initial probability/impact assessment.
- Workshop findings report and agreed next steps.
Structured risk workshops are where risk management genuinely begins — bringing together the client, designers, contractors, and other key project stakeholders in a facilitated setting specifically to identify risk collectively, drawing on the full range of expertise and perspective present rather than relying on any single party's view of what could go wrong. Risk identified collaboratively, with input from the people who actually understand design, construction, cost, and programme, is consistently more complete and more honest than risk identified by any one discipline working in isolation.
We facilitate risk workshops at key stages throughout a project's life — typically at major design gateways, before tender, and ahead of significant construction milestones — using structured facilitation techniques to draw out genuine risk concerns from participants, including risks that individuals might otherwise be reluctant to raise unprompted. The output feeds directly into the project's live risk register, ensuring identified risks are actually tracked and managed rather than simply discussed and forgotten.
