What risks can an XR Circle expect?

Risks come from absolutely anywhere! They can be :

1. financial,

2. legal,

3. reputational,

4. technical,

5. non-compliance with regulators,

6. lack of security,

7. fraud,

8. loss of key members.

Each risk has a cause, a probability and an impact. A risk can become embedded in in a circle's processes.

Here are examples of possible risks for an XR circle. There are many others!

• A group outside of XR and acting in the name of XR does something disreputable, causing loss of funding, loss of rebels and make it hard to get our demands met.
• Key information such as a password or a key skill is only held by a single member of a circle and they unexpectedly are unavailable.
• People aren't told clearly about planned activities or how to join in or the activities are poorly coordinated
• A circle loses access to essential information.

Could any of these apply to your circle? Have you thought about what to do when they happen?
