Presenter: Dr. David Hillson, PMP
Duration: 1 hour

Dr. David Hillson returns to the Cadence Distinguished Speaker Series to challenge the common wisdom and attitudes around risk. This follow-up to his premiere presentation with Cadence will help you ensure that risk management delivers what it promises!

Whether you know it or not, your organization has a risk management process. It may be clearly defined, supporting your project management efforts proactively, or it may be ad hoc, a lifeline for smart project people who understand that the project must win. Understanding your risk attitude, and how your organization views risk, allows you to drive toward a broad and intelligent risk management process.

• Define the range of risk attitudes, and understand how each plays into the success or failure of your risk management process
• Learn how Emotional Literacy offers a unique framework for understanding and managing risk attitudes
• Discover enhanced risk management effectiveness through greater understanding of organizational risk subtexts
