Risk Management Speaker

Risk Management is one of the most important skills in project management.  Unfortunately, it is also one of the least well used and understood.  This goes a long way to explaining why almost two thirds of projects, particularly in the computing and information technology sectors, come in late and over budget, if at all.  It’s something that everybody associated with running projects knows, but few actually take to heart.

Bryan Barrow is a risk management speaker and presents to audiences on ways they can deliver their key programmes successfully.  He talks about the shocking waste of time, talent and money that lies at the heart of most of today’s projects.  Bryan outlines an approach to managing risks that is as simple as it is compelling.

Bryan speaks directly to those he says are primarily responsible for allowing so many projects to fail – CEOs, Finance and IT directors, Project Directors and Programme Managers.  These are the people who all too often approve projects without any idea of what they are letting themselves in for.  Once they approve projects they either receive no information on risks until it is too late, or else they are overwhelmed with so much backward-looking reporting it stops them from seeing what’s really going on.

There is a another approach, one that gives senior managers the information they need in order to control even difficult projects.  Bryan spells out the huge benefits of improved project risk management and how it benefits the whole company.

Bryan’s presentations are based on his new book Managing Project Risks: How You Can Deliver Your Projects On Time And Under Budget.  As a result Bryan is in demand as a risk management speaker and his business focuses on risk management speaking and risk management workshop facilitation.
