The Business Value of Risk Management - Risk Management is Not Optional What is value? More to the point, what is business value? If value is in the 'eyes of the beholder,' how can we reach consensus? If we do reach consensus, how do we know it is real value? The answers to these questions are critical because they are the reasons for your portfolio, program, or project. There is a direct correlation between value and performance. This presentation will provide guidance that you can apply to virtually any situation, and address the relationship between risk and business value. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.
