Isolated pilot groups could be risky too, not sure about that one.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think SWOT analysis requires open discussion, which might not help with the anonymity concern.

I'm leaning towards the Delphi technique. The ability to gather anonymous input seems crucial in this situation where managers could try to sway the risk identification process.

Root cause analysis might also be a good approach, as it focuses on identifying the underlying causes of risks. But the anonymity aspect of the Delphi technique could be really valuable here.

Haha, maybe they should just use a suggestion box and hope the managers don't recognize the handwriting!

I'm not convinced the Delphi technique is the best choice. Isolated pilot groups could give you a more honest assessment of the risks without worrying about office politics.

Delphi technique seems like the way to go here. It allows for anonymous input and avoids the bias that could come from having managers in the risk identification meeting.
