Making Project Risk Management Work Masterclass

Summary

Why are we apparently so capable of managing risk in our daily lives as individuals, but patently struggle when we try to manage it as part of a group or organisational activity such as a project? Ruth Murray-Webster and Penny Pullan address this and other key questions in their engaging Masterclass interview, including:

  • how do you provide assurance to senior stakeholders without relieving them of their responsibility as risk owners?
  • how did risk become ‘the language of the people’ during the COVID 19 pandemic and what can we learn from this experience?
  • how can we manage the risk associated with the uncertainty of huge and long-running major programmes?
  • how to deal with multiple timeframes and extend your risk horizon into the future?
  • how to encourage an open and honest risk culture?
  • how to engage people with future potential and opportunity as well as future risks?
