The devastating impact of the recession is hopefully nearing the end and as it does, changes begin to take precedent.

During every recessionary period there are changes in politics, economics, technology and even demographics. Yet many do not often speak of the changes in talent. Yes, with the numerous organizations now needing people to drive new production numbers and those “survivors” seemingly desirous to take a leap there will be many changes in the year 2012.

Many organizations have learned the hard way not to be tactical. The trends coming in the year ahead will require organizations to become more strategic and deliberate in the manner in which they maintain talent.

Organizations must come to realize that talent is an asset NOT a liability on the balance sheet and when treated correctly, the talented people are the linchpin to organizational success. Discover the top trends that firms will look for in 2012 and how you can position yourself for success!

This series presents an amazing opportunity to develop the personal skills that will allow you to grow as a project manager.

Article / Exercise : Managing Risks and Issues
Free Risk Register Courtesy of pduOTD.com & Susanne Madsen
Nine Page Article with Exercise & Template by: Susanne Madsen
Category C PDU 1 PDU (article) to 6 PDUs (complete the exercise) – Free PDUs

Susanne Madsen provides a nine step to exercise to help you and your team “proactively identify and mitigate risks” allowing fewer issues to arise on your projects.

“The effective management of risks is all about being proactive as you need to identify and tackle potential concerns before they turn into problems. The effective management of issues requires you to stay focused and calm whilst deciding on the best option for moving forward.” – @Susanne Madsen

Risk and issue management is one of the most fundamental parts of a project manager’s job. It is an activity which needs to be attended to weekly, or sometimes even daily or hourly. Risk and issue management is an area where your positive and proactive mindset will really be put to the test.

Although the Project Manager is responsible for the facilitation and management of the risks and issues process, they cannot and should not do it in isolation.

“When you involve your team and stakeholders, not only do you improve the quality of the process, you also help promote a shared sense of responsibility for the project’s successes and failures”.

The process for managing a risk is different from that of managing an issue. This exercise will help you to identify and describe the differences between a risk and an issue and which management techniques to use for each.

Susanne also reminds us that risks don’t always mean BAD …. that risks can be positive. Identifying the positive risks and knowing how you would handle that situation should it arise is often an overlooked part of risk management.

Choose a project you are working on and go through this exercise to:

  1. Understand the differences between a Risk and an Issue
  2. Carry out a thorough analysis of your risks and issues
  3. Identify what their ultimate source is.
  4. Determine the severity and probability
  5. Get to the root cause and take action at that level.

I love Susanne’s writing/mentoring style and I know you will too. She has written a practical workbook filled with tips, tools and techniques for everyone who wants to coach themselves and others to become highly valued and truly successful project managers and leaders.

I had the pleasure of reviewing a pre-release copy of the Project Management Coaching Workbook:

“Whether you are building your own project management career development plan or managing the professional development of project managers, this book is a must-have. It provides a unique methodology for developing the task management and team management/leadership skills of the project manager and would be an excellent tool for formal professional development and mentoring programs.”
