Traditional risk management in project-driven organizations often relies on static registers and periodic reviews; approaches that can fall short when risk decisions must be made daily, stakeholders are diverse, and project changes can ripple across an entire portfolio.

This session will focus on what it truly takes to develop an effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework in a project-centric environment. We’ll discuss how to design escalation workflows that ensure timely leadership engagement, establish clear risk ownership across projects and teams, implement stakeholder engagement plans, and leverage phased approaches to requirements to manage uncertainty and reassess risks at key decision points. You’ll leave with a practical framework for supporting real-time decision-making and accountability.

Whether you’re in government, defense, infrastructure, or any complex program delivery setting, this session will help you move from simply documenting risks to actively managing them; so your organization is ready for whatever comes next.
