Online Webinar – Recorded
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hr  $12.95 USD PDU
Provider: Solutions Cube Group (REP 2451)

This webinar is the third in a 4 part series series on Risk Management by Solutions Cube.  Although this module is a part of the series – each module in the series can be taken individually.

Many project teams describe their Risk Management effort as a Risk Mitigation activity to overcome negative project risks.

Risk Mitigation is only one of the 8 different responses considered by project teams who are successful in their risk management effort. Teams who consider all 8 risk responses when creating their risk register are more effective in exploiting risk opportunities as well as minimizing or preventing risk threats.

The Risk Management Series of in depth webinars 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.

Solutions Cube Group’s Selecting the Appropriate Risk Responses webinar will help your project teams understand the differences between the 8 risk response types and when it is appropriate to use each response.

This session will help you Select the Appropriate Risk responses.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

  • How to complete the risk register with appropriate risk responses
  • Why relying on risk mitigation as the only response to risk creates more risk exposure
  • How to differentiate between the Risk Response types available for managing project risk
  • Techniques for creating contingency plans as part of the response effort
  • When to use each response type when planning the risk management effort

Learn how to increase the likelihood of positive risk opportunities occurring and how to reduce or avoid the impact of negative project risks.

The perceived wisdom is that organizations should have dedicated cyber/information security teams.

Unfortunately, in too many cases, such teams are obstacles to business innovation, rather than enablers.

In this webinar Tom Scholtz (LinkedIn profile), Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst; demonstrates how the functions currently performed by typical security teams can be performed as effectively, if not better, by other existing teams and employees in the enterprise.

Discussion Topics:

  • Where in the enterprise most dedicated security functions can be delegated
  • The advantages and disadvantages of such a strategy
  • What you should do regardless of whether a strategy such as this is appropriate for your enterprise
