name: risk-register description: Use to track pursuit risks, owners, mitigation steps, and escalation triggers.

Enterprise Risk Register Skill

When to Use

• During enterprise pursuits with multiple high-stakes dependencies.
• Preparing executive updates or steering committee reviews.
• Handing off deals between pursuit phases or regions.

Framework

1. Risk Catalog – categorize by workstream (value, product, legal, security, executive, finance).
2. Scoring – likelihood x impact, color-coded with thresholds for escalation.
3. Mitigation Plan – define owner, action, due date, and supporting resources.
4. Watchlist & Escalation – highlight items nearing deadlines or requiring CRO/exec attention.
5. Retrospective – update playbooks with resolved risks + guidance.

Templates

• Risk register table (risk, category, score, owner, mitigation, status).
• Weekly summary slide for executive steering meetings.
• Escalation request form with context + proposed action.

Tips

• Keep risk statements precise (impact + trigger) to aid decision-making.
• Default to weekly updates; high-risk deals may require twice-weekly cadences.
• Align scoring with pursuit-governance to maintain consistent reporting.
