Where's the fire?

Your aid to identifying and managing organisational risks before the business gets burned

Where’s the Fire is a team-based risk management tool that helps make potential issues visible before they escalate. It supports managers in working collaboratively with their teams to identify what might go wrong, assess impact and likelihood, and agree on where attention is truly needed.

How it works

Used in a team setting, the tool facilitates structured conversations around risk and priority. Together, teams:

• Identify potential risks, issues, or “fires”
• Assess their likelihood and potential impact
• Distinguish between real risks and perceived urgency
• Align on what needs attention, monitoring, or action

By working through this collectively, teams build a shared understanding and take ownership of what matters most. The session includes an easy-to-follow facilitation guide that leads managers and the team through each step with confidence.

What’s inside

• A structured, interactive format for team use
• Prompts to ensure key risk identification and discussion
• Guidance focused on:
  • Risk awareness and assessment
  • Prioritisation and decision-making
  • Team alignment and shared ownership
  • Proactive, not reactive, management

Why it works

Risk is often managed in isolation, but the best insights sit within the team. Where’s the Fire brings those perspectives together, making it easier to spot risks early, evaluate them clearly, and respond in a focused, coordinated way. Because the best way to deal with a problem is to see it coming.

• Team meetings and planning sessions
• Managers working with team input
• Project and delivery environments
• Teams needing better visibility and alignment on risk
