Through 2025, technologies and strategies related to these trends will reach a level of maturity that offers leaders valuable capabilities in the effort to secure digital business.

In this webinar Peter Firstbrook (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst explores the top trends and what is significant about them in the cybersecurity discipline.

Discussion Topics:

• Longer-term external trends beyond the control of the SRM team

Learning objectives:

• Defining the features and the external and internal environmental factors of a complex and strategic project,
• Developing a systematic and formalized multi-criteria decision-making process based on strategic risk analysis in a complex project environment,
• Identifying and analyzing project risks throughout the project life-cycle in parallel with the project management

A complex project may have a very long and multiple phased life-cycle, a large number of stakeholders within a complex organizational plan, a complex resource management, technical complexities, contractual complexities and macro-environmental factors.

On the other hand, complex projects signify a strategic importance for the project stakeholders in terms of their business strategy, brand image, financial and economic opportunities.

Managing a complex and strategic project requires, in its life-cycle, a specific organization and a specific approach in order to reach the project objectives in terms of cost, time and project performance.

The complexity of a project leads to the existence of interdependent risks, hard to anticipate and keep under control. For complex and strategic projects, it is necessary to identify and assess all the potential risks and opportunities through the whole project life-cycle, and develop action plans to mitigate, eliminate or transfer negative risks.

However, in the early phases of a project, it is difficult to identify and assess project risks. While front end planning is important, not all events and scenarios can be foreseen when the project can take several years to complete and may involve many companies and stakeholders.

In this stage of the project, a strategic and environmental analysis is indispensable for identifying and analyzing the major risk factors for taking a strategic decision about the project. In this study, a formalized Multi-criteria decision making process is developed based on a strategic risk analysis in complex environment.

The external and internal environmental risk and opportunity factors are analyzed in a systematic approach in order to take a strategic decision at three key-steps of the project:

1. At a very early stage and at a strategic level, to consider the opportunity of affecting some resources to a given (possible) project,
2. Later, when they need to decide, after preliminary studies, if it will effectively consider the project and mobilize its engineers for detailed studies,
3. Before the contracting phase in order to develop risk allocation plan and negotiate it with the project customer.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, risk management is taken with increased interest by professionals, communities and organizations across industry verticals. Particularly within the Project-Program-Portfolio (PPP) community, risk management has been asked to be taken-up on a proactive and priority basis.

The risk management life cycle (RMLC) works within the context of risk management framework. It ensures risks are managed in a structured and integrated manner in an organization irrespective of life cycle approaches chosen.

Understanding of risk management framework across portfolios, programs and projects, is foundational to have tangible results coming from risk management.

While a project’s risk management life cycle is somewhat known and practiced, there are a number of variations when programs and/or portfolios are taken up in an organization. Many risk management practitioners miss these subtleties!

In this webinar, Satya Narayan Dash will explore:

• What are risk management framework and risk management life cycle?
• What will be considerations for the portfolios?
• What will be considerations for the programs?
• What will be considerations for the projects?
• How to take an integrated approach?

Presenter:  Satya Narayan Dash (LinkedIn profile, @ManagementYogi) is a management professional, speaker, coach and author of multiple books. Many of his students have successfully passed the PMP.  Satya has created new management paradigms, including “Agile PMP,” “Practical PMP with MS Project/Primavera P6” and “Practical RMP with Primavera Risk Analysis” and many hands-on Agile-related courses.
