Chaos to Clarity

The Tao of Risk Management

TIRED OF COMPLEX, ACADEMIC BOOKS ON RISK MANAGEMENT?  

Chaos to Clarity: The Tao of Risk Management is a brilliant and practical guide that distills risk management down to the essential few elements needed to achieve risk management success.  This book is not an academic discussion of risk theory.  This book is a practical guide that presents fundamental risk management concepts, tools, and techniques that lead to effective risk management.  Chaos to Clarity is the perfect guide for people of all skill levels from novice risk practitioner to risk management experts.  

Chaos to Clarity is divided into three parts.  Part I sets the stage by providing some history of risk management, establishes context and presents key concepts used throughout the book.  Part I also discusses four risk management challenges project managers frequently encounter.  Part II presents a risk management process Mr. Mayo developed over the past ten years.  The process described in Part II is a hybrid process composed of elements from five industry standards (ISO 16085, ISO 31000, AN/NZS 4360, ISACA’s Risk IT, and the PMBOK) and my own experience over the past three decades.  Part III presents tips, tools, techniques, and case studies to help improve the effectiveness of individual and organizational risk management capability.
