When faced with a negative situation, we regularly hear optimists spouting trusims such as "Every cloud has a silver lining" or "There are two sides to every coin".  Their message is that often one can find a positive side to any negative situation; this is, in fact, the essential quality that defines an optimist. However, this is easy to talk about in theory but hard to execute in practice.  When facing project risks -- some of them significant -- how does one spot an opportunity within the risk?

Join project management guru Dr. Sami Fahmy as he teaches how to turn risks into opportunities (or, as the optimists might say, "turn lemons into lemonade").  Examples from his extensive career leading projects for the government and private sector will bring the topic to life in this interactive session. Contributions from Dr. Fahmy and the audience may inspire viewers to rethink how they approach risks on their own projects, giving them creative ideas to improve project performance and deliver better business value.
