An RSI Understanding Risk method
Convening goals development
Convening goals development is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
Convening goals development refers to the process of defining clear, shared objectives for multi-stakeholder or multi-sector gatherings. In risk contexts, these goals determine the framing, agenda, and desired outcomes of scientific panels, consensus workshops, or inter-agency discussions. Well-articulated convening goals ensure that risk dialogue is focused, inclusive, and aligned with decision-making needs. The challenge lies in reconciling diverse expectations and avoiding ambiguity.
More specifically
RSI helps clients shape convening goals by applying stakeholder analysis, issue framing, and process design expertise. Whether organizing technical workshops or policy roundtables, RSI ensures that goals are realistic, measurable, and conducive to structured risk discussion. This method supports RSI’s broader role as a trusted facilitator of cross-sector risk dialogue and contributes directly to the quality and relevance of the risk understanding that emerges from such events.
