Zusatztext 'The delivery of organisational strategy will be greatly assisted by the focus of this text! in relating the connection to project management and in particular project risk governance. The figures provided simplify the connection! and the checklists will supply the required focus to enhance extant knowledge and contribute to organisational growth in this crucial aspect of corporate governance and success.' Keith O'Shea! Managing Director - QTC Consulting Pty Ltd 'This book acknowledges changes in the way organizations operate and the importance of the project management discipline. These changes bring new and different forms of risk that need to be managed to deliver effective outcomes. This book is a very clear elaboration of how concepts of project governance can be applied to manage the various risks that emerge. Synthesizing a wide array of research! Associate Professor Dieter Fink is able clearly establish the institutional and regulatory risk context in which projects operate and governance takes place. He outlines the elements that are critical to the processes of project governance and the structures and relationships to achieve good governance. This is an important text as the perception of risk is subjective! as Fink's own research shows! even experienced project managers do not necessarily recognize the complexity of risk. Throughout the book readers are given examples and checklists to assess their knowledge of project risk and means to govern that risk. Theory underpins the development of models that show components and stages through which governance of project risk progresses. Readers are challenged to assess their competence and the suitability of their working practices to exploit value from project risk. I firmly endorse Project Risk Governance to readers. It is a clear elaboration of the importance of project governance to exploiting value from project risks.' Rowena Barrett. Head! School of Management! Edith Cowan University!
