To find common ground amidst divided risk priorities, facilitate a structured discussion where each team member shares their perspective and concerns. Use data and a risk matrix to objectively compare risks and their potential impacts. Emphasize the importance of aligning risk priorities with overall project goals. Encourage collaborative problem-solving to explore compromises and combined approaches. If needed, bring in a neutral third party to mediate. By fostering open communication and focusing on shared objectives, you can bridge differences and align the team on risk priorities.

When a team is divided over risk priorities, alignment starts with understanding what’s driving the differences. We can surface the underlying concerns - urgency, long-term impact, or resource constraints - to reframe risks in a way that connects to shared goals. Rather than seeking immediate agreement, a structured decision-making framework helps shift the conversation from subjective opinions to strategic evaluation. That way, we’re not just debating risks - we’re designing a way forward together.

When teams clash over risk priorities, it's time to ignite collaboration and align approaches. Spark open discussions that empower team members to share their concerns and perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse viewpoints, this can be established through: • Risk management workshops • Leverage data-analytics to prioritise risks • Establish a common risk framework, a including common risk appetite.
