We run project risk management training courses at various venues around the world and throughout the year, and can also provide in-house training on site at your request. Please contact us if you would like to know where and when our next public training will be held, or if you would like to receive a proposal for dedicated in-house training at your premises.
Our training module is based on the principals of PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and ISO 31000:2009, “Risk Management – Principles and Guidelines”, which defines the risk management process as follows:
One of the biggest short-comings in project risk management is that risk registers are often developed and managed without giving due consideration to the intricacies of accurately defining, quantifying, and mitigating risks that could significantly affect both the execution and outcome of a project.
More often than not, the responsibility of managing project risk registers is delegated to managers or other project team members who have not had the benefit of professional project risk management training. In such cases, this can result in excessive time being spent trying to identify, define,and manage risks that are either poorly described or not relevant to the project.
At Project Risk Manager, we offer comprehensive training courses designed to provide project team members with the necessary tools and skill sets to efficiently identify and manage all project risks, thereby significantly cutting down on unproductive risk management time.
One of the most efficient means of risk management is to always remember that risk comprises three primary elements:
To effectively manage any risk, one needs to be able to clearly identify each of the three risk components and develop a mitigation plan comprising response actions tailored to suit each risk component accordingly.
As a Project or Risk Manager, running risk management workshops is a necessary, but time and resource consuming exercise. By making use of our project risk management workshop facilitation services, we save clients time and resources by optimising the attendance and duration of these risk workshops for them. Typically, risk management workshops are held either at the clients’ own premises, or at a suitable external venue of their choosing.
To facilitate an efficient and productive workshop, we strongly recommend holding a briefing between our facilitator and the client Project or Risk Manager a day or two before each workshop. This is necessary to establish the context, boundaries, stakeholders, participants and expected outcomes of the workshop. We use our own Project Risk Manager software in each workshop to capture and analyse all data and, in the event of clients having their own risk management application, we can export this data into a compatible database format for transfer to the clients’ application.

In many instances projects will require more than just a workshop facilitator or risk management training session to effectively address their risks. At Project Risk Manager, we offer a project risk management consulting service which is designed to reduce the load on project teams by ensuring that all risks are correctly logged, defined, and analysed with practical and achievable mitigation plans established for each risk. We also check to ensure that all logged risks are relevant to our clients’ project scope and responsibility limits, and will flag up any risks we feel may be beyond the remit or control of our clients’ organisation or project.
By optimising risk registers in this manner, and working directly with Project Management Teams to ensure all risk response actions are effectively implemented by the assigned risk owners within their target dates, clients can rest assured that not only will their projects be completed with greatly reduced risk exposure, but will also have saved valuable man-hours in the process.
