Risk Management can be described as an uncertain event or condition that, if it occurs, has a positive or negative effect on a project’s objectives. To a Project Manager, this is a fundamental and core practice within the project life cycle. Every project experiences risk; but how risk is understood, identified and managed can help pave the way to success.

Lessons Learned
“I would highly recommend this program as it teaches you valuable as well as diverse ways on how to effectively manage projects”
Katie Pulliam, Project Manager, BG Products
“Great level of information provided which thoroughly helped me understand exactly how to assess risks and ways to manage them. Useful within and outside of the workplace, thank you!”
Polina Ball, Program Manager, Textron Aviation
“I left with my appetite whetted and still felt a little unsure of my abilities to perform risk and opportunity assessments. The class did confirm a couple of things we were already doing and perhaps a couple of things we may want to change, so in the end, it was beneficial and helpful. Michael was a very intelligent man, but able to bring the subject down to a beginners level for those like me who were just getting exposed to risk-based project planning, but it was obvious he had the knowledge to talk to those with experience also.”
John Sander, V.P. of Research & Development, Lubrication Engineers, Wichita, Kansas
“I would recommend this program because it has valuable topics of conversation that is not discussed enough at levels of the company”
Connor Nehls, Assistant Program Manager, Textron Aviation, Wichita, KS
“Very engaging speaker and knowledgeable. The day went by fast and there is lots of ideas to implement.”
Corina Cady, Project Manager, Meritrust Credit Union, Wichita, KS
“The instructor had a great mix of real life experience within the class to help me understand how to implement the information in my day to day work.”
