Struggling to turn incident facts into a crisp, executive-ready risk story that drives decisions in QBR, SteerCo, or Board readouts? In this lesson, you’ll learn to make risks speak: define likelihood and impact, calibrate scales, and deliver a four-line heatmap narrative with a clear, evidence-backed ask. You’ll find a surgical walkthrough, real-world narrative examples, and targeted exercises (MCQ, fill‑in, error‑correction) to lock in regulator-safe language and blameless, action-oriented readouts.
