Managing risk is a risky business. Chapman and Ward provide an in-depth explanation of why it is important to understand and manage underlying uncertainty in all its forms, in order to realise opportunities more fully and enhance corporate performance. They show what best practice should look like. The implications go well beyond the conventional wisdom of project risk management, providing an enlightening new perspective.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eProfessor Tony M.

Particularly welcome is the way they integrate this trio into the project lifecycle – the bedrock of project management control and organization.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003ePeter W.G.

In this book they have enhanced their previous work to focus on uncertainty management and emphasise more strongly opportunities for improving project performance, rather then just identifying what can go wrong. A structured process is an essential part of managing project uncertainty, and their process is one of the most powerful. This book will be added to my repertoire.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eRodney Turner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Professor of Project Management, SKEMA Business School Lille\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA profoundly important book. With \u003ci\u003eHow to Manage Project Opportunity and Risk\u003c\/i\u003e, Chris Chapman and Stephen Ward take a good thing and make it better. Members of the project management profession have been influenced for years by their insights into project risk management. With this latest instalment the authors demonstrate that risk and uncertainty needn’t be dreaded; in fact, the reverse side of the ‘risk coin’ has always been opportunity. My sincere appreciation to Chapman and Ward for turning this particular coin over and showing readers, academic and practitioner alike, the opportunity embedded in managing projects.\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eJeffrey K.
