  • For sure, you are more than right!

  • Over time in my organization I have realized a culture which I found within the company when I joined over three years. The use of monetary resource or incentives (pay a little more) to get desired results, much as it goes against the ethical marketing standards of my occupation. Just like the "Mr. Fix It", previously described. The idea of buying prescriptions by biasing medical personnel towards your product line. The trouble is other line managers and some staff in top management believed this as a normal trend since the rest of competition was/is doing the same.
    However, adopting this practice in marketing so as to generate sales is not sustainable because the Medical Personnel or other interest groups at hand may not really understand the value of the product being fronted to them in exchange for monetary gain. Also with time I have realized this in turn affects the company's profit margins as it stretches the marketing budget.
    However, on contrary I have introduced a model which I intend to continue pursing. The creation of sustainable for our line of product will in turn into sustainable sales. I am willing to offset the old principles while preserving ethical standards. By providing technical information or selling the features and benefits of our products creates a continued desire in our stakeholders or customers. I have also piloted new strategies such as offering free Personal Development Programs(PDPs), investing in CSR projects to harness a better and sustainable relationship works better. It's a risk worth undertaking as it aligns the company's objectives.

  • This is great initiative and challenge. I suggest you also work with other peers in understanding the scope or magnitude of the risk you are undertaking. Working with social community groups might actually even out your work

  • In order for me to take my organization for its advancement mission, I will have to do a lot of awareness speaking to all groups regardless as I will bear in mind that empowering can go along way.
    Knowing the benefits, even some won't take it onboard, some will always will but there is someone out there waiting for this opportunity and they will grab it with both hands

  • I would suggest you have to be clear about kind of volunteers you want to take on and train...The risks are far greater and the expectations too are greater... When getting volunteers on board, outline the job description and define the role clearly as you might have someone who is illiterate, or over qualified and poses as being illiterate, or an interview to someone's insights about how your organization is and what it does.. Potential Safety net- Always know yourself. what you want to achieve, what you want to impart and to your volunteers and know what risks you have taken and you know what risks you are expecting..

  • Thinking of starting off our own organization with end to end, result based solutions in a transparent, collaborative way so that it can comply with the sustainable development goals.

  • If you have ambitious goals and want to make a difference, you will have to manage risk in a bold yet intelligent way. This is the essence of Rule 7: No Risk, No Gain.

  • I risk I would take is to reduce the size of the organization (an NGO), to focus more on quality rather than quantity.

  • This is a very good idea. Volunteering programs allow to cut costs, but on the other hand they involve a trade-off in terms of quality. Thus creating a performance monitoring system and combining it with the incentive of possible job opportunities it is a very good strategy to cope with the downsides of the risk taken.

  • I will take a risk by starting and implementing a collaborative research between my institution and higher education institutions (HEIs). This iv very important in order to share both financial, material, as well as human resources with our partners, and will eventually produce standard findings having, personal, institutional, national, and international scientific relevance. So far research collaboration remains less successful since Ethiopian partner institutions fail to share specially financial resources, so researches having the same objectives are conducted by different partners in a unorganized ways. Therefore, we used to produce less impactful findings across institutions where we fail to solve societal problems in an integrated way.

  • Putting a wider target for your project is a very good attempt to achieve more and better finish the life lines. Giving trainings for teachers is a widely accepted scenario if a given community is committed to develop a responsible generations in future. However, you can have better specific issues that you can have a chance to take a risk for achieving your organizational goal working with your team and partners.

  • When you decide to take a risk reducing the structure of the existing organization you may come up with loss of the basic establishment goals of that organization, you may lose important mandates of the organization, potential stakeholders might also be lost, the most important thing you are expected to decline employees which requires a careful handling of legal right and contract close up issues, demanding huge payments to finalize such deals.
    Therefore, rather than taking a risk to decline the organizational goals and objectives better to look for best strategies having minimum risks.

  • The most important thing and generally in leadership and specifically in life is first to lead ourselves. However, unfortunately most of us fail to manage that, is there any advice and practical life skill experiences to enable individuals to lead themselves first before leading others.

  • maximizing value for patients: that is, achieving the best outcomes at the lowest cost. We must move away from a supply-driven health care system organized around what physicians do and toward a patient-centered system organized around what patients need. We must shift the focus from the volume and profitability of services provided—physician visits, hospitalizations, procedures, and tests—to the patient outcomes achieved

  • One of the risks that I would be willing to take for my organization in order to advance on a mission is the low coverage of children exposed to HIV associated with the bad qualities of the data collected.

  • One potential risk while working on policy advocacy is being recognise as adversial of the government. It is very important to be strategic to choose the policy makers and one has to ensure that during this course we are not limiting ourselves to criticise what is ongoing rather try to make it complimentary. It is also good to find senators from ruiling as well as opposition parties so that one shouldn't be considered as politically inflicted with one of the parties.

  • Our organization might take the risk of enlarging our network to include countries other than those that are part the MENA region. Although our main target is to work with and impact people from the MENA region, including people from other countries would increase the number of our audiences, and as a result, make our project grow bigger.

  • The risk lies in the fact that our project is centered around certain countries, but I believe that spreading our impact over a larger paradigm would bring us more advantages than possibly disadvantages.

  • I'm willing to invest on human capital development (training etc) and marketing in order to place my company higher in the future.

  • Giving my time and skills to achieve impact

  • The potential risk I am willing to take is temporary unemployment. As I am striving to establish my own company, I have to resign from the current job. This is because as per the regulation of Ministry of Construction of Ethiopia, it is mandatory to resign the job I have been paid before establishing the company of my dream.
    So, I may a little bit be without income. I may not find project immediately after the establishment of my dream company. So, these are the risks I have to achieve my life goal.

  • humanitarian projects are sometimes most dangerous project that anyone work on. for the past three years our organization Samawade has been encountering several risks about community mobilizations. every time we try to implement and beneficiary project we have encountered obstacles regarding the race and the clans of the people are trying to assist with projects.
    some places their leaders are not intelligent enough to participate in the project and they will try to jeopardize the executions and try to enforce improper laws and regulations that has no place in the constitution. lot of time is been waste by resolving those issues therefore, in order for the project to continue we try to use different approach to deal with the obstacles including using third part conflict resolver, governmental interference, police security and so on. working in the areas where war broken down has it is own risk and as Samawade we always prioritize people who experience war trauma and in need for humanitarian assistance.

  • I think customer complaint isn't necessarily a risk but customer dissatisfaction is because you might end up losing that customer. Analyze customer feedback to get to know who is satisfied with your product/service and who is not.

  • I believe a potential risk i am willingly to take for my organization is to rely on the admission process of our partners, in selecting the beneficiaries of our scholarship program. This is an intelligent risk in its sense because an internal audit of the beneficiaries and the admission process will be established.

  • One potential risk i am willing to take is to take time off for school to make me better at results delivery.

  • This is a good one. Good thinking.

  • I am willing to risk the possibillity of acquiring more work and responsibilities for my current salary, with the hope of working on the golden rule "Honey as money" and attract further investment in my work to improve the school and gain a social impact on our community. The safety net would be to delight my stakeholders and make an exceptional execution working on communication of the designed strategies according to the recolected data for the Expo Science Environmental Awareness and Change of Behavior project.

  • When asking these questions, imagine yourself seeing what they see, feeling what they feel, and hearing what they heard in this video.

  • My organization tackles issues of adolescent reproductive health and teen pregnancy. One risk am willing to take is to launch a service oriented program that can be adopted into the school curriculum to equip adolescents with reproductive heath information. Liaising with the government would be a plus for us as they would be updated on our progress and hopefully take up the project and include it in the syllabus.

  • Creating an awareness program for Charakids Foundation inorder to get sponsors and partners which will enable s reach out to more disadvantaged kids

  • You should also include educating your team members on how to identify data breaches and information security such as phising and the likes

  • Host a declutter session for Charakids Foundation, this declutter session helps to generate basic needs for the disadvantaged children such as clothing, footwears, funds and awareness. This is a risk because it is going to take time, resources and proper planning but with the right mindset and planning the end goal of reaching 500 kids in Nigeria would be achieved

  • Yo can also partner with organizations with the same aim as yours this helps to reduce the costs incurred and also liase with company's that are concerned with producing reproductive health products such as pads or condoms this can serve as a fall back plan on the government part

  • My organization is a Non Profit Organization which is now suffering from monetary crises due to high inflation rate in my country. We are planning to open affordable prices remedial services to the students in the community to increase our revenues. The risk is that instead of monetary challenges we are opening the school for longer hours means will be paying more to utility bills and salary packages but we expect to gain greater revenue after sometime by increased enrollments.

  • Share a possible risk that I might be willing to take to advance my organization's mission is to place these children with disabilities in my institution with other children and strive to develop their abilities. It may become very difficult, but disabled children also come with some ability from God, which we should use and this will increase the spirit of compassion and love in the society.

    I would suggest to the rest of the peer group to start an educational session between the two children erasing the gap between the rich and the poor so as to inculcate the urge to move forward in the poor children.

  • Riscos calculados aliados à ousadia significam uma grande chance de sucesso. Toda ousadia apoiada em um projeto bem desenhado e que responde às perguntas, o que, como, onde, por que e quando, podem ser direcionado de forma séria e acompanhada de indices de avaliação. Apostar em riscos calculados é, sem dúvida, ótima estratégia.
