Are YOU Making These Risk Management Mistakes?
|
Risk Management is an essential part of project management. It is also one of the least understood and utilised. This goes some way towards explaining why so many projects finish late and over budget, if they finish at all. The annual cost to companies and to the economy is measured in billions and affects each and every one of us. Some organisations never overcome a significant project failure.
From my 20 years’ experience as a project management consultant, as well as what I learned from my time as the Chair of the specific interest group on Risk Management for the Association for Project Management (APM), I show you how to maximise business value by minimising project risk.

TRAINING PROGRAMMES WITH BRYAN BARROW
Index Card Planning 2-day Training Course
|
You know how Project Managers, Team Leaders, Department Heads, Resource Managers and those responsible for running projects have these problems: they are overwhelmed by the number of projects competing for their time and resources; they feel confused by the competing priorities and interdependencies; they are tired of trying to get the appropriate level of funding needed to deliver projects successfully and they are sick of the silo working that means that they have little notice of work that impacts them. They wish they had a way of warning senior management about projects that are unlikely to deliver and should be stopped, but they struggle to get anyone to listen until it is too late.
The Index Card Planning system is my proven, repeatable system for planning projects. You'll learn how to plan your next project, step-by-step, in a way that is fun, fast and delivers fantastic results. |

BOOKS BY BRYAN BARROW
The Project Planning Workshop Handbook
|
The three biggest reasons why projects fail are poor estimating, lack of executive sponsorship and poorly defined goals.
The best way to address all three is to hold a proper kick-off workshop, yet few people know how to do so properly. It's not something that you taught, so most of you learn by doing. The problem is that you learn from people who are doing it badly. This book will show you how to run a project kickoff workshop and give you the confidence to do so. What makes this method different is that it builds in engagement and support from your key stakeholders at the same time that you create your plan. The result is better plans, faster results and happier stakeholders. So, would you like to learn how to hold a kickoff workshop from an expert, or from just anybody? |
How to Create your Project Plan in Seven Easy Steps
|
So much of the work that you do, and the work that goes on all around you, is delivered through projects.
This no-fluff book describes a straightforward, step-by-step process for creating a project schedule that you can use time and time again. This top-down approach to creating a project will transform the way that you think about projects |
The Project Management Playbook
|
This series is the culmination of many years of hard work. Much of that work was done is the pursuit of delivering million-dollar projects for a wide range of well-know organisations in both the private and public sector. However, the seeds of these books were planted years before, when I started playing American Football.
Divided into three parts, these three books will transform the way that you approach managing your projects. In particular, they will help you to start your projects off more successfully, create a team that is focused on delivering them with you, and help you to anticipate and overcome the kinds of problems that undermine most projects. |
Record Collecting in the Internet Age
|
The last 20 years has seen a revolution in the way that we buy, store and listen to music. However, the changes have not all been positive. The limitless supply of music means that you are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of music that is available.
As a result you’re failing to benefit from the healing power of music as you skip from track to track in an effort to keep up with recommendations for music from people that you don’t know and who don't know you. Listening to music has powerful physical and psychological effects on the human body. It can lift you up, calm you down, reduce stress and anxiety and boost your immune system. The question is this: Are you going to carry on skimming from track to track, never really knowing what music you really love? Or would you like to learn how to discover music that makes you happy? |
