Description for How to Manage Project Opportunity and Risk: Why Uncertainty Management can be a Much Better Approach than Risk Management
Hardcover. Based on a sound conceptual foundation yet developed to meet practical concerns, Project Risk Management has become recognized as a standard work on its subject. Num Pages: 520 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: KJMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 176 x 250 x 36. Weight in Grams: 1010.
Since I wrote the Foreword for the second edition of this book, risk management processes have become much more widely used, but controversy about what should be done and how best to do it has grown. Managing risk is a risky business. Chapman and Ward provide an in-depth explanation of why it is important to understand and manage underlying uncertainty in all its forms, in order to realise opportunities more fully and enhance corporate performance. They show what best practice should look like. The implications go well beyond the conventional wisdom of project risk management, providing an enlightening new perspective.
