Frequently asked questions

How can I identify the most critical communication risks using this template?

Focus on patterns that emerge across multiple channels. Look for risks that appear in both the channel security and message clarity sections, as these intersection points often reveal your most vulnerable areas. The template helps you prioritize by connecting identified risks directly to actionable mitigation strategies with clear ownership.

What’s the best way to involve my team in the communication risk assessment process?

Turn the assessment into a collaborative workshop. Have team members independently complete sections relevant to their role, then compare results to identify perception gaps. This not only provides more comprehensive insights but also creates buy-in for implementing the action plans that emerge from the assessment.

What should I do if we identify too many communication risks to address at once?

Prioritize risks based on potential impact and likelihood of occurrence. Focus first on high-impact risks in your most critical communication channels. The template’s action plan section helps you develop a phased approach, allowing you to address the most pressing issues immediately while scheduling others for future implementation.

What documentation should I maintain alongside this communication risk assessment?

Keep records of previous assessments to track risk evolution over time. Document specific incidents where identified risks materialized, along with the effectiveness of your response. This creates an organizational learning resource that improves future assessments and mitigation strategies.
