An RSI Communicating Risk method

Stakeholder message convergence mapping

Stakeholder message convergence mapping is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better communicate risk.

Broadly

This method identifies where different stakeholders’ messages about a risk issue align, diverge, or conflict. Mapping supports coordination, reduces confusion, and identifies opportunities for collaboration. It is particularly important in multi-jurisdictional or contested risk landscapes.

More specifically

RSI conducts convergence mapping to clarify the communications ecosystem surrounding a risk. It identifies shared frames, conflicting narratives, and opportunities for harmonization. RSI uses this method to support strategic alignment and anticipate communication risks in multi-actor environments.
