Presented by: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

As with many things in life, all projects are subject to uncertainty, however all uncertainty is not the same as “risk”. Project Risks can be “threats” to be minimized as well as “opportunities” to be exploited.

Effective Project Risk Management recognizes both types of risks and is the key contributor to “project success”.

This webinar will introduce participants to techniques for defining a Risk Management Process and using this process to progressively build a Risk Register including: identifying risks using a Risk Meta-Language, Assessing Risks with quantitative techniques, understanding the 8 risk responses and selecting the appropriate Risk Response for the project risks and monitoring risks throughout the project.

Learn how to implement a more effective risk management effort that balances the impacts of project uncertainties occurring with the effort needed to prevent or encourage the uncertain event.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

• The difference between Project Risk and Uncertainty
• How to define the scope of a Risk Management Effort
• How to use Risk Meta Language to identify project risk
• How to use Qualitative Techniques to assess project risk
• Techniques to “minimize” Risk Threats and “exploit” Risk Opportunities
