A Short Guide to Facilitating Risk Management
Pullan P. and Murray-Webster R. (2011)
Despite the high degree of organisational expenditure on setting up risk processes and supporting tools and frameworks, they often ultimately fail to deliver the expected value. The inherent problem is that processes of rationality are unworkable when attempting to encourage groups to actually agree upon that which is risky, why it is risky, and importantly what to do about it. This book provides practical guidance on facilitating risk workshops, and making risk management happen outside of the workshop setting as well. The cartoons throughout work well as the emphasis is on practical guidance for getting things done without suffocating those who have to attend risk reviews.
This book sets out a practical approach to how the risk management process can deliver value through effective facilitation. It brings together Ruth Murray-Webster's expertise in the human aspects of risk and risk attitude and Penny Pullan's wide experience of the facilitation of project workshops.
