Communication risk registers is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better communicate risk.
Broadly
A communication risk register systematically identifies and tracks potential pitfalls, controversies, or points of failure in public risk messaging. It includes issues such as stakeholder resistance, misinformation risk, linguistic complexity, or channel failures. This method supports proactive planning and message resilience.
More specifically
RSI incorporates communication risk registers into strategic planning for public-facing and high-stakes communication efforts. The firm identifies and evaluates risks to message credibility and reach, and develops mitigation strategies. RSI uses these tools to support adaptive messaging and institutional learning, especially in polarized or evolving risk contexts.
