What to Expect

Risk registers get completed. Risk meetings get scheduled. Yet on many projects, the team still treats risk management as someone else's job. This session moves beyond tools and templates to explore the human side of risk: how leaders, project managers, and teams build environments where surfacing uncertainty is expected, rewarded, and acted upon.

 
Facilitated discussion on the difference between risk compliance and risk culture
 
Peer exchange on what actually works when trying to change team behavior around risk
 
Practitioner case study: a real project environment where culture either helped or hurt risk outcomes
 
Practical tools: conversation starters, team norms, and leadership behaviors that signal psychological safety around risk
 
Member input to shape the November session

Who Should Attend

Especially valuable for project managers, PMO leaders, program managers, and team leads who manage people as well as plans. Also valuable for anyone pursuing or renewing the PMI-RMP credential.
