ABSTRACT
A good way of summarizing all the things that need to be put in place in order to implement an effective and successful remote working system is to look at the risks associated with it. This book is not about risk management as such (readers wishing to know more are referred to our Managing Projects or to any of the relevant books listed in the bibliography) but here we do offer a very short description of risk management. It is recommended that anyone implementing remote working should complete their own risk management exercise, both from the point of view of the employer and the employee before setting out. The risks identified, and possible risk plans outlined here, should be seen as a starting point upon which to build a customized plan for implementing remote working within the target organization.
