  • It’s one thing to set up a risk management plan when you have a ten-year endeavor that’s going to involve hundreds of personnel.
  • It’s another to do it on a two-week, quick-burn, “git R dun” kind of activity that’s going to hit the ground running tomorrow.

Or is it?

In this webinar, risk management expert Carl Pritchard (LinkedIn profile, @carlpritchard) takes us on a tour of risk practices when you don’t – or think you don’t – have time to add one more administrative layer.

In this engaging discussion, Carl examines the infrastructure that should be in place long before the project ever happens, and that should be fit for use and re-use.

And when we’re ready to dive into that short cycle-time project? Carl has practices for that, as well.
