Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers!PMI Talent Triangle: Ways of WorkingMost PMOs acknowledge risk management. Very few actually practice it. There is a difference between logging risks and managing them, and that gap is quietly costing organizations the projects they cannot afford to lose.In this episode of the PMO Strategies podcast, I am joined by Russ Parker, PMP®, PMI-RMP®, PMI-ACP®, owner of 44 Risk PM and a retired U.S. Marine Corps officer. Russ draws direct parallels between military planning discipline and how project organizations should embed real risk expertise to stop operating in perpetual crisis mode and start delivering the outcomes they were hired to produce.Key Takeaways: Why risk registers get created once and never revisited, and the pattern behind itThe three root causes that turn risk management into an organizational formalityHow project managers accidentally become fire starters instead of fire preventersWhat a Risk Management Professional actually does inside a PMOHow AI accelerates risk identification, historical analysis, and risk workshop preparationOne of the most underused tools in project managementWhy positive risks are being ignored and what that costs your project deliveryPractical steps to build risk management discipline right nowPress play to discover how adding disciplined, specialized risk management to your PMO structure could be the most strategic decision you make for your project delivery outcomes this year.Connect with Russ Parker: Follow Russ on LinkedInLearn more about 44 Risk PMSubscribe to The Bearded Risk PM on YouTubeP.S.
