Conduct OCM Risk Mitigation & Action Planning Workshops

Use

The purpose of this task is to develop the risk mitigation strategies, action plans and accountabilities that will address the implementation risks defined by the risk assessment.

It is recommended that many of the program participants as well as other interested parties, especially those who are likely to be responsible for action plans, are invited. The Risk Workshop Action Planning and Implementation Guidelines may be used to facilitate planning, prioritization, and tracking both during and after the workshop. A list of typical Organizational Change Management (OCM) risks and recommended activities is also provided as an accelerator.

Procedure

  1. Review the risk assessment process with workshop participants.
  2. Review the risk assessment results.
  3. Define program implications of the implementation risks. Confirm perceived likelihood and impact as well as consequences if the risk is not addressed.
  4. Brainstorm/develop strategies and action plans for each risk.
  5. Decide on how the successful mitigation of the risk can be measured and when.
  6. Assign tasks and responsibilities if possible. Alternatively propose suitable people.
