The workshop is based upon Carl L. Pritchard’s best-selling book: Risk Management—Concepts and Guidance. The workshop content is intended for anyone actively involved in the planning and execution of projects—project managers, business analysts, individual contributors and their management.

Abstract:
Participants will be exposed to the benefits of applying sophisticated Risk Management Techniques in a simple, easy-to-understand way. No hyperbole, just a straight forward, from the gut treatise of how the individual contributor and project manager alike can take advantage of the product of realistic, out-of-the-box thinking when it comes to identifying and handling project risks that may have significant future impact on the ability to deliver on stakeholder expectations. Risk Management isn’t brain surgery, but using your brain is helpful. Students, using real world examples and exercises, will learn how to anticipate the less obvious (subtle), but potentially significant, project risk events before they occur, thus allowing the impact of these events to be coordinated, communicated, minimized or eliminated entirely. These eight hours of focus on proactive risk thinking may change your opinion and your Value Add potential about risk management forever.
