Real World Project Management Webinar - The Risks That Aren't on the Risk Register

The Risks That Aren't on the Risk Register How Project Leaders Spot and Manage Relational Risk Before It Affects Delivery

Conflict is often a lagging indicator. Learn to recognise relational risk while it's still amber – and act before strained relationships begin undermining project delivery.

Project professionals are trained to identify risk before it becomes an issue: schedule risk, cost risk, resource risk, technical risk.

But what about relational risk?

A stakeholder becomes quieter. A difficult conversation keeps being postponed. Communication turns increasingly transactional. Challenge disappears from meetings. People remain professionally polite while quietly starting to work around one another.

None of these necessarily looks like conflict. But by the time a relationship reaches conflict, escalation or breakdown, the warning signs may have been visible for weeks.

In this practical and interactive webinar, Dr Andrea and Jonathan Taylor-Cummings introduce relational risk: the risk that deteriorating trust, communication, alignment or willingness between people begins to undermine delivery.

Participants learn to recognise “relational amber”, diagnose what is driving it and act before the relationship turns red.

PARTICIPANTS LEAVE WITH:

• the ability to spot leading indicators of relational risk

• a practical way to recognise relational amber before conflict or escalation

• insight into why quiet compliance can sometimes be more dangerous than open disagreement

• a simple Recognise → Diagnose → Act → Monitor approach

Good project leaders don't simply get better at resolving conflict. They get better at seeing relational risk early enough to do something about it.

Don't wait for red.
