Managing Project Stakeholders

    

Summary:
The PMBOK tells us that risk can be negative or positive. We all know about negative risks, but when was the last time you found positive risk? Do you routinely watch for positive risks in your project? Probably not; very few project managers do. Why is this so? Positive risks are Opportunities. Are there really so few opportunities available in this ocean of risk?During this exceptionally uplifting and empowering treatment of Opportunity in projects, Dr. Evans explains that there are plentiful Opportunities available in every project, if we know how to find them. This workshop explains why we tend not to see the Opportunities that are there, and what we can do to turn that around. Participants learn how numerous factors, including current project management practice and even the language we use to describe risk, actually prevent us from seeing Opportunity. Then attendees learn what they can do to make all this change. They learn a revised Risk Model that shows where risk and Opportunity actually come from, and discuss techniques that can uncover Opportunity even under what appear to be dire circumstances. With this in hand, attendees work through a field-tested approach to discover multiple Opportunities in their own projects.
