The workshop
The bid team lists what could go wrong: ground, weather, the price of steel. Two hours. Many sticky notes.

The information · The risk workshop
I can go wrong in plenty of ways: the wrong version, the wrong hands, the wrong place. Write those down like any other risk.
The wrong way
One information risk
The register has one information risk. It says "IT failure". It's owned by "IT".
That's everything
The register goes in with the bid. Nobody asks who'd notice an old drawing on site, or a sensitive one in the wrong inbox.
Tom (bid manager): Ground, weather, steel, IT. That's everything, surely.
BuildBuild: Month eight…
The wrong version
An old drawing is used on site. It wasn't on the register, so nobody was watching for it.
The wrong hands
Then a sensitive drawing is emailed to the wrong person. That wasn't on the register either.
Whose is it?
Callum, the project manager, goes looking for the risk's owner.
Callum: Whose risk was this?
IT: Not ours. The server's fine.
One information risk on the register, owned by IT. Everything that went wrong was owned by nobody.
+2 weeks on the back alley's bill: Information risks nobody wrote down: two incidents, owned by nobody, with nothing ready.
