There is no separate management for Opportunities (Positive risks),Why?

Salman -

A few years ago, I wrote an article on this suggesting the need for an "Opportunity Analyst" in the organization who could support teams in identifying, analyzing and responding to opportunities as most of us tend to be hard-wired to see what could go wrong, but struggle to easily identify what could go better than planned.

A project is started to take an opportunity. So, all related to project is based on opportunity analysis. The way to face with all related to project is what-if but most of the people do not take it into account. No matter you use what-if or not is most comfortable for human beings to take about "the negative" instead of "the positive". You can prove it with yourselves. Make the exercise to try to talk about you about the positive and is hardest than take about the negative (for most of the people, perhaps that is not your case). So, is a matter of culture. And again, the cultural aspect is mostly forgotten. Is a tendency to think that project management is about to define activities and all related and to manage it forgotten the enterpise wide impacts where culture, one of the variables inside the business layer, is a critical success factor to take into account.

I think we are afraid of failure all the time, so all our focus is on threats, It is human nature.
We need to train ourselves on working on both at the same level.

I believe this is not very accurate. We do identify opportunities the same way we identify threats but we focus more on how to handle those threats. That is at least my point of view.
