Protecting the Value risk-management

Risk management is a 'given' on all projects, but it is usually either overdone or underdone and is rarely correctly focused or complete. This leaves you exposed - personally.

We've seen projects with more than 300 risks listed, most of which are irrelevant to the project, but are there 'in case', so that no one can be blamed for missing any. But this number of risks is too many and cannot be managed effectively. So, despite the high number of risks identified, you're still exposed. We've also seen projects with less than 10 risks listed that are missing some of the most obvious and telling risks that will destroy their projects one way or another.

When you're involved in a project, the last thing you want is to be at risk yourself - especially from your project's risk management process!

You need to feel in control, confident and on top of your project - but most risk management approaches leave you dangling ...

These Protecting the Value Guides ensure you're never blindsided by risks -- that the chance of your project going 'belly-up' is minimal. These Guides cover the key project-related risks that need to be actively managed.

Understanding Risks
There are eight types of project-related risks, yet most risk management approaches only look at two or three if you're lucky. This Guide explains the nature and need for the different types of risks and what you need to do about them.

How to manage project specific risks
Each project has its own set of risks that need to be identified, classified and managed where required.This Guide takes you through the end-to-end risk management process so that you spend your time and effort on the risks that count.
