About: Hot Spots: Turn Your Enterprise Risk Management Practice Into a Key Driver of Business Performance
Does your organization really buy into risk management, or is it just another compliance exercise?
Or does it stop when you turn in the risk assessment matrix (the colored "risk square") or risk register that you had to slap together to get the project approved?
What is risk management anyway? All too often, it is seen as just another cost sink and overhead effort. But it doesn't have to be that way. Risk management is at the very core of project management, and when done right it is a business process that provides real value to the overall business management effort.
Project, program and risk managers will enjoy this book's pragmatic advice, taking away practical ideas for gaining the organizational acceptance needed to apply a risk management framework effectively, and will have access to an online supplementary resource site with exercises, templates and training.
