This book is your answer to what the business value of risk management is. It doesn't provide elaborate methodologies. It describes real business situations and how using risk management processes and tools contributed to a positive outcome - or, in many cases, how using them would have avoided a significant failure.Risk managemetn shouldn't be about filling in spreadsheet templates. We all know that most projects fail because of actions or inaction of the participants, and this book is one of the few that take that challenge head on. Several chapters address the risks that are caused by ineffective methods of managing the people and provide practical tips for managing in the modern workforce. This book is essential for anyone trying to explain to other managers why a little insurance in the form of risk management will prove to be a very cost-effective investment, and shows vivid examples of failures that could have been easily avoided but happened anyway.
