Thinking and Acting as a Great Programme Manager  
Thinking and Acting as a Great Programme Manager

Programme management competence is a subject of increasing relevance to managers in many sectors, from professionals in the project and programme management community to senior managers sponsoring major change initiatives. This book provides practical insights and advice on the practice of project and programme management and the performance of the role itself, rather than the application of specific frameworks, processes or techniques.  No other text appreciates as well and addresses as directly the situations, challenges and dilemmas faced by project and programme managers, and the decisions and actions required of them.

Facilitating Risk Management  
A Short Guide To Facilitating Risk Management: engaging others to identify, own and manage risk

Many organisations have spent small fortunes to set up risk processes and supporting tools which then fail to deliver the expected value. This is because rational processes don't work well when trying to get groups of people to agree what is risky, why and what to do about it. If you need to make sound decisions in important but risky situations; work with groups to identify, prioritise and respond to risks, deliver value and, along the way, ensure the credibility of the process and the resilience of your organisation, "A Short Guide to Facilitating Risk Management" is for you. It sets out a very practical approach to how the risk management process can deliver value through effective facilitation. It brings together Ruth Murray Webster's expertise in the human aspects of risk and risk attitude and Penny Pullan's wide experience of the facilitation of project workshops.

Risk Attitude  
Understanding and Managing Risk Attitude

“It is no easy task to write a book which is both better than its predecessors and genuinely novel. In both tasks David Hillson and Ruth Murray-Webster have succeeded admirably: this book deserves to become the leader in its field. I truly believe that it is one of the best research books on... project management in recent years.”

Managing Group Risk Attitude  
Managing Group Risk Attitude

The authors say that, while understanding risk attitude is critical for effective decision making, there are two other equally important factors to take into account. One is the need to define the notion of a 'good' decision; the other is that, in order to reach that good decision, risk attitude needs to be managed. This being the case, the authors wanted to firmly ground their work "in the actual experiences and perceptions of people making really risky and important decisions in groups". They have succeeded in this - and in making such a multi-faceted subject highly readable and genuinely interesting.
