About this course
A risk update is useful only when its audience understands what matters and what response is needed. Chris Fenning concentrates on that communication task, with short tips for discussing potential problems and issues that are already happening.
The lessons address purpose, audience, specificity, impact and timing. Separate sections explain how to distinguish risks from issues, describe connected risks, present response options and ask for help. Checklists and worksheets support preparation for an email or a conversation.

Skills you’ll gain
- Selecting information that matters to the audience
- Describing impact and timeframe clearly
- Separating potential risks from current issues
- Communicating options, recommendations and requested action
You need to understand what a risk and an issue are before starting. This course does not teach a complete risk-management process or the construction of a risk register; its focus is communicating information you already need to discuss.
The tip-based format allows targeted review of a particular problem, such as an update that lacks a clear request. Use the worksheets to prepare your own message, checking that the audience can tell what is known, what could happen and what decision or action is needed.

Will this teach me to create a risk register?
No. The provider explicitly focuses on communicating risks and issues, and expects the learner to understand those concepts already.
