NEWS FROM THE EVENTS DIRECTOR
The management of risk is something I think all project managers can spend time honing their skills on. Peter shared his love and deep appreciation for all things risk management at a breakfast event held at DDLS on the 3rd August. A true master in the management of risk, Peter shared his insight into how we can all look at risk identification and use a consistent measurement technique to weigh up the impact and severity to make an informed choice. With over 80 attendees we all took away insight into really understanding all the possibilities of the risk and how to manage them to resolution through a sound risk management strategy. For a person to never be late for a flight in all his years of travelling around the world giving talks on risk management and change, I think he's on to something.
Risk Management- in a word, complicated!
Bringing the best tools and techniques coupled with the ability to network with like minded people is our top two priorities when putting on an event. With the dedicated work from our chapter president Julia Checchia, the chapter was able to partner with IIBA (International Institute of Business Analysts) to host a joint events. Haydn Thomas from Mindavation helped bring business analysts and project managers together over two special nights.
