View Recorded Webinar

Speaker: Dr. Ernest Forman

 

Struggling to understand risk in your project or financial portfolio? We can help. We will show you how a methodology used to help prioritize National Security risk can be translated to your organization's challenges.

 

Please join us for Risk Management: Understanding Choices. Joining us is Dr. Ernest Forman, D.Sc., Founder and Chairman of Expert Choice. In this session, we will focus on solutions to estimating probabilities and risks.

 

Topics we will cover include:

  • Understanding uncertainty and risk
  • Utilizing intuition and expertise
  • Analyzing qualitative and quantitative data

Aligning & Prioritizing System Requirements

In selecting system requirements, the key challenge is maximizing resources (time, staff, and money). In this recorded webinar learn how to:

  • Make justifiable selections with organizational buy-in so you can move on to execution with confidence 
  • Evaluate and prioritize criteria using a robust, transparent methodology 
  • Collaborate within and across departments in the same meeting room or around the world 
  • Minimize mistakes; focus on mission benefits; create a defendable process

System Requirement Selection is a vital part of building an organization's infrastructure. To maximize the use of limited resources, leaders must identify key system functions that best align with and support the organization's mission. Separating the must haves and real needs from the nice to haves or pet projects is both complex and politically challenging. Expert Choice can help.
