An RSI Understanding Risk method
Risk framing
Risk framing is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.
Broadly
Risk framing refers to the way a risk issue is conceptualized and communicated, influencing how it is understood and acted upon. It includes choices about scope, terminology, timescale, and comparators. Effective framing aligns assessments with decision needs and stakeholder perspectives, while poor framing can lead to misinterpretation or inaction.
More specifically
RSI works with clients to frame risk questions clearly and strategically, ensuring alignment between assessment methods and policy goals. The firm draws on behavioral science, stakeholder mapping, and scenario development to test framing assumptions. This enhances both the uptake and the usefulness of risk outputs.
