The org chart shows a risk committee box, but the committee has not met in two years. What does this imply for risk communication?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A committee that exists only on a slide is like a fire extinguisher that is only a sticker. Boxes on the chart are not the same as living pathways. If it does not meet or act, it is not consulting.
Full Explanation
Corporate hierarchy communication requires living consultation pathways, not merely labeled boxes. A risk committee that has not met for years provides no active escalation, review, or advice function. Organizations should either reactivate the forum or redesign real pathways. Paper structures alone do not satisfy risk-communication needs.
