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

Uncertainty Is Not The Same As Risk

As with many things in life, all projects are subject to uncertainty, however uncertainty is not the same as “risk”. Because all projects are initiated to produce change in the current environment, risk during the project lifecycle is a natural occurrence.

Project Risks can be negative “threats” to be minimized as well as positive “opportunities” to be exploited during the life of a project.

Effective Project Risk Management recognizes both types of risks and is the key contributor to “project success”, but effective Risk Management doesn’t just happen – it is orchestrated and managed throughout the project lifecycle.

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.

The Risk Register will include:

  • 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
  • Monitoring risks throughout the project.

In this 1 hour in-depth webinar participants learn:

  • The difference between Project Risk and Uncertainty
  • The value of including Opportunities and Threats in the scope of risk management
  • How to recognize the characteristics of a successful risk management effort
  • How to avoid factors that lead to failed risk management activities
  • The steps for preparing to run a successful risk management effort

Solutions Cube Group’s Preparing for the Successful Risk Management Effort will help your project teams understand the characteristics of a successful risk management effort.

The sessions will share techniques that can be used on every risk management effort to understand the risk culture of an organization and achieve a more effective risk management effort that balances the impacts of project uncertainties with the effort needed to prevent or encourage the uncertain events.

Secrets That Only Top Negotiators Know

Negotiation is a different form of influence.
There is a time to influence and a time to negotiate.

Have you ever LOST a negotiation?

  • Most people have and don’t even know it!
  • What underhanded tactics are other negotiators using on you?
  • How can you counteract them?

The worst time to learn a negotiation skill is when you need it.

Negotiation must be mastered before it is needed, or the opportunity is lost forever.

For example, are you tired of:

  • Losing business deals
  • Not closing sales
  • People not listening
  • Being told no
  • Losing negotiations
  • Not getting your way

There are 7 negotiation blunders you are making right now that cause people to resist you and your offer.

This webcast will get down in the trenches and reveal the secrets that only top negotiators know.

Each blunder is like driving around town with your emergency brake on. All the time, you are wondering why your car (or negotiation) never has much power.

These problems are simple to fix, but expensive to have. Negotiation has changed dramatically over the past 20 years. And ironically, some of these negotiation blunders are still being taught in expensive courses as the techniques to use!

This webinar is certain to open your eyes to the NEW world of negotiation and influence.

What does it take to negotiate with power in any encounter?
….  Think about it    ….

  • When was the last time you didn’t get something you wanted?
  • What happened?
  • Did you fail to get your point across?
  • Were they influenced by someone else?

Here’s a sampling of what you will discover:

  1. Dirty deeds unscrupulous negotiators will use against you
  2. Discover negotiation secrets only known to seasoned negotiation professionals
  3. Top blunders average negotiators frequently make
  4. How following your natural instinct will cost you millions
  5. How to establish instant credibility (even when you don’t have any)

You will find this webinar TRANSFORMATIONAL!

Kurt will help you to internalize these techniques and start using them as soon as possible.

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required – However most AMA webinars are recorded for later viewing.
