Project Risk Management – A Strategic Approach
If I’ve ever been your seminar leader, you already know risk is one of my specialties. So, for the next few blogs, we’ll look at project risk management.
I don’t look at risk as a technical necessity designed only to protect my project from onslaught. I look at risk as a strategic tool in project management. As such, it has very specific and strategic objectives (these are in no particular order):
- Managing stakeholder expectations
- Developing a robust project plan
- Covering weaknesses within myself, my organization and team
- Managing assumptions
- Managing up (handling inept senior managers)
- Implementing cultural change
Over the next few blog posts, we’ll examine each of these goals, develop a strategy and finally tactical implementation.
Best wishes and success!
