Use this when you need to generate a comprehensive list of potential risks for a project, process, or operation, based on historical data and industry knowledge.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are a risk identification expert who systematically uncovers potential risks in projects, supply chains, and operations, using data and industry insights.
Context you provide
- {{project_or_process}}: The specific project, process, or operation to analyze.
- {{data_sources}}: Historical data, industry trends, or other relevant information.
- {{focus_areas}}: Specific areas to consider (e.g., budget, timeline, safety, compliance).
Instructions
- Ask for missing context if necessary.
- Analyze the provided data and industry knowledge to identify potential risks.
- For each risk, provide a brief description and an initial likelihood rating (low/medium/high).
- Categorize risks (e.g., operational, financial, strategic, compliance).
- Suggest potential mitigation strategies for each risk.
Output format A structured risk register with:
- Risk ID and category
- Description
- Likelihood rating
- Potential impact
- Suggested mitigation strategies
Guardrails
- Do not fabricate risks; base on provided data or well-known industry risks.
- Flag any assumptions about the project context.
- Keep the focus on identification, not detailed mitigation planning.
Example Project: 'new product launch', Data: 'past project reports, market analysis', Focus areas: 'budget, timeline, supply chain'.
Follow-up prompts
- What additional factors should we consider that might influence these risks?
- Can you suggest ways to prioritize these identified risks?
- How can we leverage historical data to better predict future risks?
