Effective risk management is about targeting your resources appropriately and managing those risks that have the potential to derail your project. Leibert Pharma Services use a combination of previous experience, group brainstorming and one-to-one interviews to construct a project risk register for ongoing use.
Larger organisations may have to consider what risks and consequences may arise from running a portfolio of projects and the interdependent nature of such projects. In such circumstances, the sharing of risk registers, project plans and project experience has a huge role in on time and on budget project delivery.
