Without senior management support, a risk management programme will struggle to deliver its intended objectives. However, for many professionals, the idea of being expected to communicate with Directors and Executives on topics that they themselves may not be personally familiar with will be extremely daunting.
This session will provide an opportunity to learn some of the basics, including:
- The differences between a Board and an Executive Team
- How governance can vary between different organisations, and how this can influence your approach to engagement
- Who the typical main players are at Board and Executive level, and tips for how to engage them
- How to plan your initial engagement, frame arguments and sustain their attention
And what to do when faced with difficult stakeholders.
By the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Identify the key differences between Executive and Board committees and how their needs influence your pitch
- Overview of the key stakeholders and their needs that will be present in Executive and Board level meetings
- Learn different approaches to engaging senior managers, including tips
