Risk Management
While there is inherit risk in every project, the difference between
success and failure is how effectively you identify and manage these
risks.
JCS has extensive experience partnering with our clients to
effectively assess and manage project and program risk. We will work
with you to define key areas of risk that exist on your project, and to
assess both the likelihood and the potential impact associated with
those risks. We have a number of assessment and questionnaire tools that
we use to facilitate this process - or we can leverage tools that might
already exist within your organization. These tools analyze risk from a
variety of technical and non-technical perspectives, including
executive support, maturity of technologies deployed, degree of
change introduced in the organization as a result of the project,
experience of the project team, and many others.
Once risks are identified, we will work with you to define how to
manage them. For larger areas of risk, it may be prudent to develop a
formal risk mitigation strategy. For risks which
have a reasonable likelihood of occuring, it is important to develop a
formal risk mitigation plan. This plan should be
integrated into your overall project or program work plan,
with specific tasks and activities targeted at preventing or minimizing
the impact of the risk.
JCS can work with your team to develop and deploy effective risk
management on a project or program, or we can execute the risk
management activities on your behalf. We can also help your
organization create an internal risk management function
which can be deployed on all projects and programs.
