Episode 484: Project Risk Management

Categories: PDUs: Ways of Working

We welcome Dr. David Hillson to look at project risk management for business leaders and project leaders through the metaphor of a risk hurricane, which David introduced in his book Taming the Risk Hurricane.

Risk management has become a standard part of the strategic tool kit, providing senior leaders with a forward-looking radar to scan the future and give early warnings of approaching threats and opportunities. However, even best-in-class organizations can falter in the face of extreme risk exposure. Special circumstances demand special responses, and extreme risk exposure needs very careful handling. Routine risk management approaches will fall short, but businesses that demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and resilience will have the competitive advantage and the ability to thrive where others fail.

Categories: PDUs: Ways of Working

Research shows there are more people managing multiple projects than single projects, and yet there is not much information about it.

To be able to manage big, single projects requires abilities that we, as project managers, have learned and developed over the years; learning about managing various projects is the new ability to learn.

Join Elizabeth Harrin and Cornelius Fichtner as they discuss the fascinating topic of Managing Multiple Projects. Should we use the same approach as when managing one project? What are the recommended tools to use? What’s the trick, really?
