With more than three decades of experience as a thought-leader and
expert practitioner, PMI Fellow Dr. David Hillson shares practical
insight into how upside risks can be identified, assessed, and
managed as opportunities. After reviewing the benefits of
identifying opportunities, the book steps through the opportunity
identification and management process in detail, describing proven
tools and techniques as well as specific tips to make them work in
practice. The book places opportunity management in the context of
traditional risk management, providing a familiar pathway that
leads project managers to discover new benefits and successes.
David Hillson is one of the foremost authorities on risk
management. With his latest book he presents a strong case for
managing opportunities. As with all of David's books, the style of
writing is engaging and easy to understand. There are many nuggets
of wisdom in this book, as well as a hands-on approach to
leveraging opportunity management as a way of improving project
performance. - Cyndi Snyder Dionisio, PMI Fellow, Coronado CA, USA.
(Chair of the PMBOK (R) Guide, Sixth Edition) I enjoyed reading
this book, which is precise, clear, logical, and persuasive. The
clarity of thought and expression explains why David is such a
sought-after speaker. This book is a must-read for project risk
practitioners, as well as for project professionals who are serious
about addressing all the risks on their project, including the good
ones. - Dr Dale Cooper, Cammeray NSW, Australia. (Director,
Broadleaf Capital International) At last, a clear and valuable book
linking both sides of the coin in risk management: threats and
opportunities. David Hillson truly engages the reader on how to
deal with these two types of risk in projects, sharing his wisdom
and extensive experience in creating value from risk management.
Anyone who has to manage risk in real-world projects should read
this book to enhance their opportunity management skills. -
Professor Salim Al-Harthi, Muscat, Oman. (Director of Risk
Management Office, Sultan Qaboos University) It is vital for value
creation in business and in life that we consider uncertainties
that would have upside impacts on our objectives (opportunities),
as well as downside impacts (threats). Business gets confused
between opportunities where there is a binary choice to take or
not, and true uncertain opportunities that can be seized, or left
to chance. David has persevered in helping us understand this and
this important book is a must-read for all leaders who want to
create value through the proactive management of risk. - Dr Ruth
Murray-Webster, Wakefield, UK. (Partner, Beyond the Deal LLP and
Editor, APM Body of Knowledge, 7th Edition) As project managers, we
always seem to focus on threats, negative risks. David Hillson, one
of the foremost thought-leaders on risk management, explains
approaches to identify and manage opportunities, positive risks and
how this will help achieve project success. As with his previous
books, David provides a structured approach with examples, tools,
and techniques. An excellent resource for all project managers in
today's world. - Peter Monkhouse, Toronto ON, Canada. (Past Chair
PMI Board of Directors)
