Getting the right people in the room—and the right outcomes out
Risk-framed Convening and Facilitation
Clients seek credible, neutral facilitation of complex, multi-stakeholder processes where risk considerations must be openly surfaced, transparently debated, and constructively resolved. Whether the objective is intergovernmental alignment, regulatory modernization, cross-sector agreement, or collective action planning, they require convening approaches that hold legitimacy across scientific, operational, and political dimensions. Many of these settings involve divergent priorities, contested authority, or reputational risk—making it essential to identify where interests and exposures intersect through the lens of shared and similar risks.
How RSI delivers Risk-framed Convening and Facilitation
RSI delivers through CRAFT—our purpose-built, risk-framed methodology—and through extensive experience facilitating across boundaries of authority, interest, and worldview. CRAFT enables stakeholders to move beyond positional debate by identifying shared and similar risks: points of mutual exposure that often transcend organizational or sectoral silos. Our process architecture spans from issue framing and participant mapping to real-time moderation and outcome synthesis. RSI facilitates negotiations and convenings involving government, industry, and civil society—including both virtual, in-person, and hybrid events—ensuring both structure and resonance in politically or operationally sensitive environments.
