Chapter Meeting - Practical Risk Management - identifying, tracking, and managing

This one-hour presentation provides a practical, hands-on overview of risk management focused on real-world project execution. Participants learn how to identify risks early, assess and prioritize their potential impacts, and track them using simple, effective tools. The session emphasizes maintaining a clear risk register, assigning ownership, and applying appropriate response strategies to reduce uncertainty. Attendees leave with a repeatable approach they can immediately apply to active projects.
