Look through your presentations, handouts and notes – more notes are provided on the table that may be useful

TASK: Let’s look at some assignment examples …

Identifying Sources of Risks

TASK: Key Terminologies/Focus Brainstorm what terminologies you know regarding risk

Risk and Return Why take any risks? “all projects involve risk – the zero risk project is not worth pursuing” (Chapman and Ward, 2003) James Lam, 2003 model on ‘risk and return’ shows that there is a correlation between the level of risk and return, this is a simplistic model What recent projects/business practices can you name that have been particularly risky, yet provided high returns? Or, visa versa?

Embed risk management into your project Identify risks early in your project planning Communicate risks to ensure awareness Consider threats and opportunities as potential risks Clarify ownership of the risk and mitigation Prioritise risks – of them occurring and their impact Analyse risks and evaluate potential mitigations Plan and implement risk responses – mitigations in action Register project risks through implementing Risk Registers Track risks and associated tasks on a regular basis with those involved

Key Risks - Categorising People: skills, experience, reliability Technical: robustness and appropriateness of IT systems/processes Time: WBS deadlines, contingencies Financial: budget limit per phase/element, contingency, non-essentials Environmental: external influences, fixed costs Overall management: responsibilities, control

TASK: Your project and risk In pairs, debate your project and identify at least 3 key risks that impact your project Consider: People Technical Time Financial Environmental Overall management What can you do to reduce these risks a) occurring and b) the impact

Typical obstacles Securing approvals and sufficient funding Stakeholder buy-in Feasibility and viability Contractual issues – delivering the unachievable Project implementation Keeping momentum Managing and mitigating risks to proceed Agreeing deliverables – outputs, outcomes, timelines, budget Managing change and avoiding ‘project creep’ Control management – people and processes Agreeing focus and strategy

TASK: Your obstacles In pairs, review your risks so far and: Brainstorm typical obstacles that may occur in your own organisation that may impact the project Identify the obstacles as risks “not securing sufficient budget to deliver 100% of the project outcomes” Rank them in order of highest impact and probability of occurring – these may be different

Risk Identification Techniques (Level 3+) Scenario analysis - i.e. SWOT, PEST/LE or STEEPLE (Level 5+) Stakeholder analysis – identify people strengths and weaknesses (Level 5+) Probability analysis – judgement based (probability + impact) (Level 5+) Sensitivity analysis – i.e. 10% and 25% reductions in budget (Level 5+) 3 point estimate – ranked as maximum, most likely, minimum (also consider PERT) (Level 5+) FMEA – (Failure Mode Effect Analysis) identify quality and technical risks.

SWOT/STEEPLE Analysis Important to be honest with this technique and use up-to-date information Rank items in order of importance Based on quantitative and qualitative analysis Most effectively used at the beginning of identifying risks, used in conjunction with other frameworks i.e. Chapman and Ward 6Ws, then revisited before completing risk analysis SWOT should be accompanied with STEEPLE/PESTLE to consider the external environment as SWOT considers mostly the internal environment

Simple identification of risk sources Using Chapman and Ward (2003) 6Ws framework is an effective starting point Who What Wherewithal Why Which way When TASK: Swap partners for this task and ask each other questions about the project based on 6W Two most common and quick ways of identifying risk are to review the weaknesses and threats in the SWOT/TOWS and PEST(LE)/STEEPLE Political Economic Social Technical Legal Environmental Ethical (for STEEPLE) TASK: Review your SWOT/PESTLE/STEEPLE and identify the main risks. If you have not completed any of these tools, write down some risks now using the model

Risk Registers In project management it is important to create a Risk Register to manage risks effectively Incorporate: Prevention Deflection Contingency Acceptance Consider: People Technical Time Financial Environmental Overall management Further risk assessment models that are appropriate for Level 5 and 7 include the following: Risk impact assessment Expected monetary value Probability (risk impact) analysis 3 point estimate Stakeholder analysis Sensitivity analysis Scenario analysis FMEA analysis We will look at these in more detail next session along with risk assessment and management

TASK: Create a Risk Register Create a Risk Register for your chosen project, incorporating the following: Identify the risks associated with your project Analyse the level of risk and prioritise them (red, amber, green; or high, medium, low) Evaluate the likelihood (probability) of them occurring and/or impact Plan how you will mitigate (overcome) these risks

Quality Consider: How you will Control quality? What are your quality Measures, Existing Policy & procedures, Key performance indicators?

Quality management Quality Control Quality Planning Quality Assurance Consists of 3 categories: Quality Planning Quality Assurance

Quality management Quality planning - clear definition of the project aims, outcome and what the deliverable are and how these are going to be measured. Include assessing the risks, setting high standards, keeping an audit trail and measurement of success Quality assurance - uses a system of quantitative and qualitative metrics to determine whether or not the quality plan is proceeding in an acceptable manner, mostly through intermittent quality audits Quality control - involves operational techniques meant to ensure quality standards. Control is reactionary and occurs after a problem has been identified, unlike quality assurance which occurs before a problem is identified. The monitoring of specific project outputs, compliance, risk factors/mitigation and overcoming unsatisfactory performance How will you manage quality?

Evaluation is measuring success in a systematic and objective way

How are you going to evaluate whether and how your project was a success?

What to focus on Evaluation focuses on whether the project was effective, achieved its objectives and the outcomes had an impact – how has it made a difference? How the project changed/evolved and what strategic added value has it provided that can improve stakeholder relationships How has the project meet your and stakeholder needs What would you have done differently and what were the restrictions that limited maximum return How the project compares with forecast v actual timings and budget.

Outputs and Outcomes Outputs Outcomes Outputs are the products and services you deliver as part of your project i.e. training courses, support sessions, jobs created and publications etc They can be easily captured during the project, even if it’s a short project - they can be seen/felt Recruit staff = newly appointed people Prepare a meal = a meal Outcomes are the changes, benefits, learning or other impact that happens as a result of your project – what difference it has made A level of performance, or achievement that may be associated with the process, or the output - implies quantification of performance Newly appointed people may be = capable, or incapable of performing their role; too many, or too few

Measuring impact When should I monitor progress and impact? Formative – frequent evaluation throughout the project Summative – conducted at the end of the programme to assess outcomes, impact on the community, and overall success.  Consider: What criteria you will use to measure successful achievement of your aims and objectives What benchmark information or data you need before commencing How you will use the findings of your evaluation

Evaluation methods Quantitative: statistical analysis (numbers) Qualitative: views/opinions (combined with quantitative for maximum effectiveness) Return: consider financial and social return discussed last session Consider using tracking actual performance against forecasts, with variance analysis Market research techniques: Sampling methods – random, systematic random, stratified, cluster, multi-stage Primary research – Questionnaire; Interviews; Focus groups; Observation Secondary research – Internet, Libraries, Universities, Trade Reports

Review What have we achieved today? Where do we need to focus further? What are we doing next time?
