Does your PMO want to offer a better service around risk management? Get better at risk analysis; challenging assumptions; being aligned at project, programme and portfolio levels; supporting strategic risk identification. The list goes on.

In this session we’re joined by risk management expert John Greenwood. John has worked in this field for the last decade and a half, following a career delivering projects and programmes, and rescuing business from the consequences of unmanaged risks.

Risk management is becoming ever more important in the preparation, planning, and delivery of programs and projects, as organisations demand greater certainty (or an understanding of the uncertainty) of delivery times and costs.

Tools and techniques used for risk management have progressed over the last decade or so, moving the practice of risk management on from the probability/impact diagrams of old, with the availability of cheap computing power capable of performing sophisticated analyses of delivery plans.

John will outline the three main objectives of risk management, and provide an overview of how the risk management processes support delivery of these objectives, and discuss their integration with the wider project controls and PMO disciplines.
