We welcome Dr. David Hillson to look at project risk management for business leaders and project leaders through the metaphor of a risk hurricane, which David introduced in his book Taming the Risk Hurricane.
Risk management has become a standard part of the strategic tool kit, providing senior leaders with a forward-looking radar to scan the future and give early warnings of approaching threats and opportunities. However, even best-in-class organizations can falter in the face of extreme risk exposure. Special circumstances demand special responses, and extreme risk exposure needs very careful handling. Routine risk management approaches will fall short, but businesses that demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and resilience will have the competitive advantage and the ability to thrive where others fail.

Join Cornelius Fichtner for the launch of The PM PrepCast Leadership Academy Interviews, our advanced video series on project leadership. If you want to go above and beyond your project management competencies then this masterclass with conversational interviews from 15 distinguished global leaders is for you. Project leadership is not one-size-fits-all, so we built this class with the senior project manager who is on a leadership track in mind.
We'll talk about how the course helps you become a change maker in your organization, win and maintain your team's trust, how to get assigned to more critical projects, but most importantly, create meaningful and lasting change.

Research shows there are more people managing multiple projects than single projects, and yet there is not much information about it.
To be able to manage big, single projects requires abilities that we, as project managers, have learned and developed over the years; learning about managing various projects is the new ability to learn.
