00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:04,428
Okay, let's have a look at
risk management in practice

2
00:00:04,457 --> 00:00:08,474
And what I want to do
is to start with some basic concepts

3
00:00:08,485 --> 00:00:14,015
then focus on two difficult areas
in the risk process

4
00:00:14,242 --> 00:00:19,164
So, I guess if I asked you
to define the word 'risk'

5
00:00:19,174 --> 00:00:22,954
you would have some ideas
of what it meant

6
00:00:22,967 --> 00:00:26,476
We might not have a formal definition
that we could quote,

7
00:00:26,476 --> 00:00:30,253
but we all have something in our minds
when we hear the word 'risk'

8
00:00:30,274 --> 00:00:33,972
This is what we think,
and maybe you think of things like this

9
00:00:34,234 --> 00:00:38,534
Maybe you feel like this little guy,
facing some big ugly challenge

10
00:00:38,534 --> 00:00:41,791
that you know is just going to
squash you flat.

11
00:00:42,066 --> 00:00:43,766
Maybe you feel like this guy.

12
00:00:44,024 --> 00:00:46,489
This is a real job in North Korea,

13
00:00:47,768 --> 00:00:51,367
and his job is to hold the target
for other people to shoot at

14
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,979
Sometimes project managers
have the target here

15
00:00:54,292 --> 00:00:56,911
We feel like everybody is shooting at us
in our job

16
00:00:57,757 --> 00:01:01,987
Or maybe you just know there's something
nasty out there, waiting to get you

17
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:05,700
And maybe that's what you think of
when you think of the word 'risk'

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Well that's partly true
but it's not the whole truth.
