Executive support risk register
A small risk register for surfacing support gaps before they disrupt a leadership commitment.
In this guide
- Define the executive support outcome
- Match role scope to leadership cadence
- Use a structured selection process
Define the role
Record the workflow at risk, the consequence, current owner, warning sign, and next review date. Keep the register tied to work the executive team actually depends on.
Set the operating model
Distinguish a known risk from an active issue. A risk needs a preventive action. An issue needs an owner and a decision about recovery.
Choose with care
Review the register with the people who can change the condition. Support can keep the record current, but the accountable owner decides how the risk is handled.
