Risk Management White Papers

My current risk management white papers included the following:

The Business Case for Project Risk Management

The UK now spends more than £22Bn each year on IT projects.  Most of these will be late or over budget and many will be cancelled before completion.  For each project that fails there are people working as hard as they can and as well as they can.  The thing that keeps them awake at night is the knowledge that, at the end of the day, the culmination of all this effort will be yet another project failure.

If, like me, you’ve ever lost out on promotion, or received a smaller bonus than you deserved, or missed an important family event because of a failing or failed project, then what I have to say is something that you have to hear.

Are You Making These Risk Management Mistakes?

Do you complete your projects on time, on budget, every time?  Or are you too busy fixing today’s problems to think about tomorrow’s deadline or the finishing line?  This White Paper discusses the main people, process and communication mistakes that many project managers make and looks at ways that we can overcome them.

Effective Project Risk management in the Real World

This talk was first given to the Bristol Chapter of the British Computer Society (BCS) in February 2008.  It explains why risk management matters, examines key mistakes that most project managers make in managing risks and goes on to offer real world solutions.
