One of the key responsibilities of a project manager is to actively identify and aggressively manage project risks. To do this effectively the PM must set a goal of early recognition and aggressive intervention in order to ensure high client satisfaction with minimal negative swings in gross profit. Project risks must be actively managed throughout the entire project lifecycle if risk management is to be effective. This presentation will focus on best practices in risk management that include risk identification, risk quantification, risk prioritization and risk response planning and implementation. Note: This webinar is based on Jeff’s presentation at our conference. It is being repeated because of its high ratings by attendees.

Frank Williams, Senior Manager of Belden Cyber Security
There has been much talk lately about the end of lifecycle issue related to the Windows XP operating system (OS). In fact, for the past year, Microsoft has been reminding folks that on April 8, 2014, they officially ended extended support for the Windows XP operating system (OS). For more than 12 long years Windows XP has been a stable and significant workhorse of an operating system (OS) and not only for enterprise-wide desk top PCs. But you may be surprised to find out Windows XP is heavily used in industrial applications including ruggedized PCs (e.g., HMIs, programming stations and engineering laptop) as well as embedded into thousands of devices that control and monitor many factory automation, process control operations, power, water and transportation infrastructure installations. What will your clients do? More importantly, what can you do to help your clients? Join us for this webinar where you will learn more about the Windows XP issue and how you can create value your clients on this important change.
