  • MPUG – Let’s Talk About Risk Management
    12:00 -13:00
    2023.05.03

    Event Description:

    From experience, projects come with risks. We are doing things that are not operations; we are doing new things. As a result, we often miss pieces of essential information or have many thoughts we believe to be true and valid, which might be entirely invalid upon careful review. In this presentation, we will go through the steps of risk management and some ideas on uncovering potential risks. We will also use a Total Quality Management tool to explore things that can go wrong in our project management knowledge areas as a form of taxonomy and illustrate the inter-relationship of domains and the failure mode symptoms.

    Learning Objectives:

    • What are the steps of risk management
    • How can Project Managers uncover potential risks
    • What tools and software can Project Managers use to identify risk management
    • How do project managers illustrate the inter-relationship of domains and failure modes.

    Learning in the Project System

    Jon M. Quigley

    While learning is associated with making errors in most situations learning from successes is commonly forgotten. Let us think about B.F. Skinner and positive reinforcement. Incremental and post-job reviews usually focus on the shortcomings of an activity and project. Instead, we must ask ourselves why we did better at the activity to understand how to capture it and make that success repeatable. This positive activity helps with motivation and shines a light on something done better than the last time.

    When asking the questions above, we must capture the learning and how it relates to the organizational structure. For example, when we look at an error in one section of a process, do we only look at that part? Is the corrective action done with blinders? This is why we are looking to discuss systems thinking or understanding. We cannot look outside of our area without understanding the system. We treat this material at length in our book Continuous and Embedded Learning for Organizations (Shawn P Quigley and Jon M Quigley) found at Amazon.
