What approach helps reduce perception bias during a facilitated risk workshop?

1. Working with managers

2. Working with a diverse group

3. Working with other risk management professionals

4. Working with a large group

The correct answer is: Working with a diverse group

The approach of working with a diverse group effectively helps to reduce perception bias during a facilitated risk workshop. When participants come from varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, they contribute a broader range of viewpoints. This diversity fosters an environment where assumptions and preconceived notions can be challenged. It encourages participants to think critically and consider different angles on a particular risk or issue, leading to a more balanced and comprehensive discussion. In contrast, working with managers or a large group may lead to the dominance of particular viewpoints, especially if those within the group share similar experiences or hierarchical positions. Similarly, focusing solely on other risk management professionals could result in a narrow focus that overlooks the insights brought by stakeholders from different areas of the organization or industry. By incorporating a diverse group, the workshop is better equipped to identify and evaluate risks holistically and mitigate the effects of individual biases.
