I would utilize a risk assessment process, the weight up, the risks versus the benefits, the possibility of things going wrong.

If things did go wrong, what would be the connotations for the organization and also how I could use strategies and techniques to minimize the risk as much as possible.

Then, once I have gathered all of the facts available and utilize my risk management process, I would make a decision that was in the best interest of you.

The organization now I believe taken risks is an important part of managing an organization.
