S03E11 Challenges to the naive risk management approach

Take the leap - Management by Gunnar

In this episode of Take the Leap Management, we dive deep into naive risk analysis methods in project portfolio management—why they’re problematic and how they can lead to costly mistakes. We explore how overly simplistic approaches to identifying risks, assessing them, and developing mitigation strategies often rely on gut feelings and assumptions, missing the real complexities of projects. With examples of how naive methods fail and guidance on evolving toward a more data-driven, collaborative, and dynamic approach, we’ll show you how to manage risk with greater depth and effectiveness.
