Risk management software is pivotal to successful project management. However, despite its importance, it can be years before organizations consider upgrading.

But times change, new challenges arise, and risk management professionals must be enabled – through the use of the latest tools – to plan for these new challenges.

Our new e-book, written by David Hulett, a thought leader in the world of risk management, puts forward the notion that cost and duration risk can be better prepared for by upgrading your organization's risk maturity level. 

When you’re busy managing large projects, finding the time to assess your organization's ability to analyze and mitigate risk is not easy. It’s a technical, time-consuming procedure, but vital if you want your company to be working as effectively as possible.

Safran is delighted to announce the formation of our new strategic partnership with Hulett & Associates – one of the foremost authorities in project management consulting and noted leader in the field of risk assessment, management, and mitigation.

When projects over-deliver, significant cost and schedule overrun are usually the two biggest casualties. Scope creep is a risk in the vast majority of projects – as an area of project management, it’s widely known, often well understood yet frustratingly difficult to avoid.
