ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with the practical problems and challenges that people face when facilitating risk management: pitfalls that the reader of this book will be able to prepare for and avoid.
Every pitfall described in this chapter has come from a real, current risk practitioner – someone who has shared with us their concerns and frustrations about making risk management work during the year we have been writing this book. Some of the pitfalls are at the heart of
risk management, such as people confusing risks with issues. Others are more subtle. We include them all because this chapter is designed to provide immediate help to people who are facilitating risk management work right now.
