✦ Synopsis

By picking up where traditional risk management techniques begin to fail, this book brings together leading-edge thinking from a variety of disciplines and shows how these techniques can be used to conquer uncertainty in projects. The book addresses five key questions: Why is there uncertainty in projects? How do you spot the symptoms of uncertainty, preferably at an early stage? What can be done to avoid uncertainty? What strategies can be used to deal with project uncertainty? How can both the individual and the organisation learn to cope more effectively in the future? Read more... Living with uncertainty -- Uncertainty in project and programme plans -- Problem-solving strategies for managing uncertainty -- Knowledge-centric strategies -- Anticipation strategies -- Resilience strategies -- Learning strategies
