Program Description: 

As a project or program manager, risk management is one of the few areas that can turn your project from green to red overnight!   It is relevant to all initiatives - whether you are leading a small innovative agile team, a very large cross-functional international division of your organization – or anything in between.  This presentation begins with a talk describing risk management, then has an interactive healthcare scenario (in case study format) which will challenge attendees to use risk management skills to proactively identify and manage risks.

Through this presentation the attendee will learn the following by both learning and “doing”:

  • Identifying risks
  • Understanding qualitative vs quantitative risk analysis, and using appropriate tools on identified risks
  • Understanding which risks to communicate to senior leadership
  • Using risk response planning to proactively monitor and control the appropriate risk profile of a project/program
