This workshop moves beyond the standard project management curriculum by explaining how to manage both sides of risk: Threats and opportunities.
Every project has issues. Issues are threats to a project that have materialized, and they can drain a project team of the much needed energy and time. Experience has shown us that proactive management of project risk can reduce the incidence and severity of issues by up to 90%. The up-side to this approach is enormous.
Every project has opportunities. Projects are filled with opportunities, if we know how to look for them. Opportunities can lead us to lower cost, savings in time, higher quality, and a happier customer.
This workshop will lead you through a series of exercises, each of which contributes to the establishment of an effective Risk Management Practice. You will leave the course with a whole new set of tools and techniques to anticipate and proactively manage threats while uncovering and leveraging opportunities.
