Project Risks Don't Start with Schedule, Budget, or Scope
Most project risks do not begin as schedule delays, budget overruns, or scope changes.
They begin as behavioral conditions that often go unnoticed until they affect decision-making, stakeholder engagement, team performance, and project outcomes.
Behavior Risk Patterns™ helps project leaders identify these early warning signs, understand the human systems driving the risk, and develop practical response strategies before project performance is impacted.
BEHAVIOR RISK PATTERNS™ Workshop
Built on a Practical Framework
What Participants Will Learn to Do
What Participants Will Learn to Do
Behavior Risk Patterns™ represents the evolution of the concepts introduced in People-Patterns in Project Management™, By Ethel Walker, moving beyond behavior awareness to proactive risk management.
The workshop incorporates the Human Systems Framework™ and Behavior Risk Canvas Series™ to provide a practical, hands-on approach to identifying behavioral conditions, uncovering system vulnerabilities, and developing proactive response strategies.
Behavior Risk Patterns™ complements established project management practices and follows the PMI project lifecycle, helping participants identify and respond to behavioral risks throughout Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling and Closing.
