That’s the question I was asked after giving a talk last year to the Bristol branch of the British Computer Society (BCS) last year.

“You bet I would!” I said.

Several months later I got a call from Donald Southey from the BCS project management special interest group (SIG) inviting me to speak at the BCS Spring School in March 2007.

I’m so looking forward to giving this talk, especially as previous audiences have really liked it. It’s called “Four Simple Steps to Perfect Project Risk Management” and my goal is to get project managers to wake up to the dangers they face by not actively managing risks that threaten their project. With a bit of luck I’ll be able to persuade at least one person in the audience to take on board some of the lessons that I’ve learned. That way they won’t have to make the same mistakes that I have.
