Proven Strategies to Identify,
Manage and Mitigate Risk

As programs grow in complexity, an enterprise-wide approach to strategic project management is essential for survival. The AVIATION WEEK Program Excellence Initiative, launched in 2004, focuses on developing strategic program leadership skills and recognizing those who are creating the most unique and effective methods for leading programs and projects. This year, Program Excellence is extending its reach through the Program Risk Management Forum -- drilling into one of the most important skill sets a program team must have.

Learn the strategic risk management strategies that will differentiate you from your competitors.

  • Key Takeaways:

  • Managing risks and opportunities for technology development

  • Identifying resources, capitalizing changing market realities, and developing an effective risk-management process

More than Just an Educational Opportunity - A Networking Experience!
At the Program Risk Forum, you won't be just another face in the audience -- you'll be an active participant. The Forum will deliver high quality educational content linked with interactive roundtables designed to promote the exchange of ideas, best practices and peer-to-peer insights.

 

About AVIATION WEEK Program Excellence

Each year the Program Excellence Initiative seeks nominations of complex system and sub-system programs and projects to apply for the Program Excellence Award. The evaluation is based on capabilities along four key metrics -- creating value, leading an effective organization, adapting to complexity, and performance (schedule, cost, requirements). Risk management falls within the adapting to complexity category, and during the past two years the Program Excellence Evaluation Team has critiqued programs for not fully understanding and planning for risk and, significantly, for not fully capitalizing upon opportunity. Find out the tools you will need to mitigate risks and optimize performance.
