✦ Synopsis

Uncertainty, or risk, is an essential part of life so that thoughtful action can influence the success or failure of endeavours. This is nowhere more apparent than in projects, where poor risk management often leads to failure. Goncalves and Heda's new book makes a valuable contribution to the project risk management literature, highlighting the need to systematically and practically manage risks, and gives valuable best-practice advice on how this can be done effectively and efficiently. It is a concise, easy read for non-technical managers who will find it full of practical information. - Richard Whitfield PhD, President, East-West Institute for Advanced Studies, Macau, China
