Risk Management can help us drive positive outcomes and real benefits.
We often think of Project Risk Management as being about "avoiding bad news".
It doesn't need to be that way.
Relax...it's not all Bad News

The picture changes when we get on the front foot.
Getting on the front foot Risk Management is so often reactive and defensive.
"What will we do if something bad happens?" "How much will it cost if
something goes wrong?"
We see opportunities to act early and create positive change.

Opportunities for positive change When we change our perspective...we get a different answer.
"If we don't have the right people, our delivery will be late. We will fail."
"If we have the right people, we can deliver early outcomes and build a richer solution. We will succeed."

"If the Requirements aren't clear, we will deliver poor quality."
"If the Requirements are clear, we can build even more value into our product."

We just ask ourselves different questions.
We still PLAN the same wayThe fundamentals of Risk Management planning don't change.
