Three obstacles for an organization to manage risk effectively
Inadequate Communication:
communicating to a person who does not fully understanding you, they hear what you are telling them but don’t understand part of the request. This will cause risk with any project because of the inadequate communication. Do not assume the person understand have them repeat back what is being asked of them and also have them to give an example of what is being asked of them.
Risk Culture:
Culture is a key in any organization. In my department we have different staff members of different cultures and beliefs, there is a three-day limit on all product that is prepared, after three days the products are to be discarded. Some staff members will discard the product and others will not. To manage this risk effectively we have all staff members to learn and follow the policies and practices of the organization and health department requirements.
Training and Supervision:
Every staff member must be trained in his or her position. Provide cross training to each staff member. Allow all staff members to ask questions and to inform them of risk concerning the project.
