When you’re managing multiple projects and supporting complex operational functions, risks aren’t always obvious, but they can be costly in terms of time, money and reputation. Unmanaged risks can cause delays, wasted resources, and a loss of trust. As a high-level EA, you’re expected to anticipate and prevent these issues, often without formal strategic guidance. This session gives you a framework to stay ahead of risks and integrate risk awareness into your project planning and operational oversight processes. 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Define what risks are and how they impact projects and operations.
  • Identify common and hidden risks across project lifecycles and operational functions.
  • Categorize different types of risks and apply a risk assessment model to evaluate likelihood, impact, and priority.
  • Set yourself up for success by clarifying details and expectations early and ensuring they are realistic and achievable.
  • Implement risk mitigation strategies to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience.
  • Communicate risk insights effectively to stakeholders and decision-makers.
