"Risk Registers" in Progressive Organizations

Written by SGLocky in Practices

2 years ago - 0 min read

Hello Everyone,

an organization I am working with is really pushing its senior people to populate and manage a traditional risk register. There is something about this practice that seems to be the antithesis of a progressive approach to management. It is creating a culture where everyone is constantly asking what might go wrong. I'm observing that this then translates into defensiveness and fear of taking actual risks.

But then a corporate risk register is standard practice.

Has anyone any views on this tension?

Thanks, Stephen

This is something that FIFA should have been aware of when the decision was made to host the event in Qatar due to the knowledge that the country relies heavily on migrant workers and its exploitive labor system.

Writing this book was a long, interesting, and intense process, but we managed to wrap up the final manuscript of the book earlier this year, titled "Start-up Factory." Although the book will only be published in September 2022, we gave Corporate Rebels Academy community members early bird access to the final manuscript. Here is a selection of their reactions to the book.
