A little risk management saves a lot of fan cleaning

Project management seems straightforward. You set a deadline. You set a budget. You select the right people. The project gets done. But according to the infallible Murphy’s Law, “whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.”

Crises come in all shapes in sizes, whether financial, technological, or public relations. Whatever you are dealing with, there are steps to take before and during a crisis to prevent or mitigate damage to your project.

In this session we will cover:

• The Keys to Effective Crisis Prevention: including setting expectations and defining success at the start of a project, and how to develop a contingency plan
• Containing a Crisis: including the 5 elements of risk management, and how to effectively communicate with all stakeholders
• Lessons Learned: how to  take lessons learned from crises and apply to your next project
