An RSI Managing Risk method
Collaborative governance
Collaborative governance is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better manage risk.
Broadly
Collaborative governance refers to shared decision-making processes involving multiple stakeholders—often from different sectors or jurisdictions—to manage complex risks. It enhances legitimacy, coordination, and system-wide learning. Challenges include power imbalances, diverging priorities, and maintaining long-term engagement. Successful implementation hinges on trust-building, facilitation, and clear rules of engagement.
More specifically
RSI facilitates collaborative governance structures in areas like environmental stewardship, emergency preparedness, and infrastructure planning. Its approach emphasizes structured dialogue, power-sharing, and outcome-focused agendas. RSI is particularly skilled at helping diverse actors work toward aligned risk management goals despite differing mandates or capacities.
