In this compelling presentation, Carl Pritchard, author of the Risk Management Memory Jogger and the Project Management Communications Tool Kit, examines the four C’s of effective risk communication:

  • Control,
  • Cost,
  • Community and
  • Charisma

Carl examines how and when we lose control of the communications experience and specific steps that we can take to ensure we retain control to the degree possible. He looks at the potential political costs of any risk communications experience and how we can marshal them to our advantage.

Carl explores the capacity to build risk communications communities in very short spans of time, and drives home the simplicity of establishing charisma on the subject of risk without being excessive or effusive.

Join Carl and learn how to craft risk terminology that’s meaningful for you, your management and your team.

Presenter : Carl Pritchard (LinkedIn profile, @carlpritchard) Project Management Risk Guru & Presenter Extraordinaire Carl has written more that 70 articles on The Fundamentals of Project Management – Applying traditional project management in demanding environment.

Some Of Carl Pritchard’s Great Resources

Below are some specific links to a selection of his articles:

A Time to Be Project Positive!
The Dalai Lama offers Carl some perspective on our potential for profound influence, both as project managers and as people. If ever there was a time to be “project positive,” this is it! There is so much to be positive about.

Context in Communication
Get others up to speed on your insider stories, and both your team and your communication will be the better for it. As we manage, we have a habit of invoking terms and terminology, assuming that others share our communications context.

In Defense of the Project Management “Perfect World”
We know the textbook doesn’t come anywhere near the real world. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying. One of the most common challenge questions I get when teaching PMP® Exam Preparation courses is “Why doesn’t PMI make the test more real-world? Why do they insist on testing for a world that no one really lives in?”

Do We Really Need the Second Decimal?
Why are we shrouding a common-sense profession in arcane standards? Sometimes a plan is just a plan. When I suggested that our effort in spreading the project management gospel should be simplification and clarification, one team member shot back: “For every complex problem there is an answer which is clear, simple and wrong.” But there are also clear, simple and correct explanations

War of the Worlds – Lessons Learned from the Martian Invasion (A Martian Perspective)
Carl models best practices for your lessons learned reports, with this otherworldly perspective on the most disastrous project of all time. Kickoff Meeting – The kickoff meeting united the political and logistical sides of the house by clearly defining the vision and the approach. Without clarity on that, we probably wouldn’t have been able to get management to drag their tentacles out of the Dark Ages and sign off on the thing.

Project Management Starts with PR – Branding Project Management
Get It Done At Any Cost? Team Lead’s Best Friend? What’s your project management brand, and how can you use it to the best advantage? What’s your brand of project management? Does it vary from client to client? If so, you may have a problem. Branding is, if nothing else, a lesson in consistency
