00:00:00.501 --> 00:00:04.428
Okay, let's have a look at
risk management in practice

00:00:04.457 --> 00:00:08.474
And what I want to do
is to start with some basic concepts

00:00:08.485 --> 00:00:14.015
then focus on two difficult areas
in the risk process

00:00:14.242 --> 00:00:19.164
So, I guess if I asked you
to define the word 'risk'

00:00:19.174 --> 00:00:22.954
you would have some ideas
of what it meant

00:00:22.967 --> 00:00:26.476
We might not have a formal definition
that we could quote,

00:00:26.476 --> 00:00:30.253
but we all have something in our minds
when we hear the word 'risk'

00:00:30.274 --> 00:00:33.972
This is what we think,
and maybe you think of things like this

00:00:34.234 --> 00:00:38.534
Maybe you feel like this little guy
facing some big ugly challenge

00:00:38.534 --> 00:00:41.791
that you know is just going to
squash you flat

00:00:42.066 --> 00:00:43.766
Maybe you feel like this guy

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is a real job in North Korea,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and his job is to hold the target
for other people to shoot at

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes project managers
have the target here

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We feel like everybody is shooting at us
in our job

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or maybe you just know there's something
nasty out there waiting to get you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And maybe that's what you think of
when you think of the word 'risk'
