Global Risk Assessment and Strategic Planning is a combined risk-based methodology for management planning and decision making in projects. GRASP uses multi-stakeholder perspectives to enlarge the project team’s knowledge base and increase awareness of the circumstances in which the project can make real progress.


The book provides a practical, infinitely scalable process for managing project risk, improving project delivery planning and executing stakeholder engagement programmes; all intended to increase the likelihood of better project outcomes. As a 'how-to' manual, the book combines user-friendly information with examples that allow a practitioner to use the GRASP methodology in an efficient and effective manner.


Global Risk Assessment and Strategic Planning:




delivers a flexible, methodological approach to create a richer picture of a project for all parties operating at any level in the participating organisation
helps improve managers’ ability to plan, assess and understand their projects and the risks inherent in them
provides managers with a more informed view of their project, which in turn helps them to make more informed decisions
contributes to a manager’s toolkit by being an essential and practical everyday facilitation aid.


Global Risk Assessment and Strategic Planning has been designed to promote a culture of openness and positive attitudes to risk, stakeholder engagement and problem solving within projects. The methodology has been developed over several years and is in regular use by a number of forward-looking project sponsors and project management teams.
