Being a risk leader in your organisation is always a challenge. More than once I have been asked "How do you get a blustering, super confident CEO to slow down and listen to what we are trying to achieve in the risk function?"

Risk Leadership: How to be Heard

Being a risk leader in your organisation is always a
challenge.
More than once I have been asked "How do you
get a blustering, super confident CEO to slow
down and listen to what we are trying to achieve
in the risk function?"
Unfortunately I don't have the silver bullet,
however, here are a few tips which are explored
in more depth in RMP's Whitepaper titled "Risk
Leadership: How to be Heard".

Risk Leadership: How to be Heard
By Bryan Whitefield
Identify all the stakeholders you need to
influence.
Identify the order in which you wish to
tackle them.
It is always best to get senior management
buy-in first, however, sometimes that just
isn't possible and you have to win over their
key influencers before you can tackle them.
Make sure you have a clear strategy.

Identify their main motivators, their hobbies
and interests.
Your best opportunity for engaging someone
that does not already know you and trust you
is to ignite their interest through something
they are already passionate about.

Risk management has so many intangibles.
Achieve seem tangible to your target
audience.
People comprehend best when you provide
them with both visual and verbal
descriptions.
So draw a picture and tell them a story.
Choose examples that are most likely to
relate to their motivators, hobbies and
interests you have identified.

 Speak their language. I call it moving from "risk
speak" to "c-suite speak" when engaging senior executives.
 Too often we simply blurt out what we know is needed
in
what we might consider to be simple risk language,
however,
it means almost nothing to our audience.
 Better approach would be discussing the need to identify
where we may be able to save some compliance costs by
understanding which of our current controls are most
important and which are not.
 You can then inch towards using risk speak as you gain
their attention and then understanding.
