Gather evidence about risks and impacts
Risk Robin helps you consult stakeholders, communities or the public on a problem area or planned initiative-gather evidence about their experience and concerns through an engaging card-based game.
How it works
Three steps from design to insight.
1. Design
Context and impact options. Use our template to define situations to set context for discussions and impacts for consideration, then import into the deck builder to generate game components and PDFs-ready for your local printer.
2. Play
Self-facilitated sessions. Each game is set up for 6 players (4-6 work well). Run multiple sessions in parallel-just print the copies you need.
3. Analyze
AI-powered insights. Record and transcribe sessions, then upload files to get summaries, sentiment analysis, and theme reports. Use the built-in chatbot to ask follow-up questions.
When it is useful
Risk Robin is useful when you gather evidence about impacts on local communities or risks associated with a plan (for example, the impact of tourism on local communities) that includes diverse impacts and risks. You want to understand what impacts and risks concern your stakeholders the most and gather evidence about these impacts, before you start developing a policy or strategy.
What it helps you to achieve
Deploying a game helps you get more thoughtful, nuanced feedback from stakeholders-closer to a constructive dialogue. By exposing them to different contexts and offering a range of impacts, you gain a more holistic and balanced view supported with evidence of specific examples of the impacts. Participants leave with a sense of meaningful engagement.
Using the AI-powered analytics tool on session recordings frees your time for policy development and turning consultation insights into action. With it, you can run more and better consultations.
