Description
In the current world, uncertainty is the norm. As we have moved from complex transformation initiatives to a pandemic, to an ever-changing business environment, initiatives (projects) are also more difficult to predict. Our traditional approach of focusing on threats is not good enough.
This 1-day training provides a clear understanding of the principles behind risk management, how to apply those principles in the context of the profession’s best practices, and how the organization can benefit from a more wholesome approach to look at uncertainty as a source of opportunity.
