How to run this meeting

  1. Review the register before the meeting

    Send the register two days ahead and ask owners to update their own rows. The meeting is for decisions, not for reading out what is on the page.

  2. Score on a fixed scale

    Agree a 1 to 5 scale for likelihood and impact, with a plain example for each number. Scoring arguments are over fast when the scale is written down.

  3. Every risk gets one of four responses

    For each risk above your threshold, choose avoid, reduce, transfer or accept, and write which. 'Monitor' is not a response unless there is a trigger and an owner.

  4. Escalate in the room

    If a risk needs senior sign-off or budget, name who decides and by what date before the meeting ends. Waiting for the next meeting is a risk in itself.

Keep a clean audit trail of every risk decision

Risk reviews are often asked about later, so the reasoning matters as much as the score. Speak AI records the meeting and writes up each decision.

  • Record the risk review on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or upload the file.
  • Get a transcript with speakers labelled, so you can see who accepted which risk and why.
  • Get an automatic summary of new risks, scores and decisions to update the register.
  • Get action items with owners and dates, ready to copy into your risk or project tracker.

Pogosto zastavljena vprašanja

What should be on a risk management meeting agenda?

Actions from last time, the top risks on the register, new and emerging risks, scoring, mitigation plans with owners, early warning triggers, escalations and decisions, and next steps. Each item needs an owner and a time limit.

How long should a risk management meeting be?

Sixty minutes works for a monthly review of a project or team register. A short weekly check on a fast-moving project can take 20 to 30 minutes. A full risk workshop takes half a day.

Who should attend a risk management meeting?

The risk manager as chair, the owner of each risk on the agenda, the project or operations lead, and a finance contact if budget decisions are needed. Invite senior sponsors when a risk needs escalation.

What are the five things you would include in a meeting agenda?

Purpose, topics in priority order, a named owner for each, a time limit for each, and the decision or outcome wanted. For a risk meeting, add the risk register and the scoring scale.

How often should you hold a risk management meeting?

Monthly for most projects and teams, weekly on high-risk or fast-changing work, and quarterly for an organization-wide review. Call an extra meeting when a risk is scored above your threshold.
