All projects are inherently risky, and zero risk is not an option. The successful project manager will therefore be the one who manages risk effectively. Threats must be minimised and opportunities maximised, while maintaining a clear focus on achievement of objectives.
At the end of the course delegates will be able to:
- How to recognise risk within your projects, distinguishing risks from their causes and their effects, and exposing both threats and opportunities
- The requirements for a proactive approach to identifying and assessing risk exposure, addressing both threats and opportunities
- How to apply proven techniques for prioritising risks, allowing you to determine the areas requiring particular attention
- How to develop appropriate response strategies to identified risks
- How to ensure effective management of uncertainty and maximise the likelihood of achieving your project objectives
- Your preferred risk psychology, revealing sources of bias and enabling these to be recognised and countered
