Project Risk Management

Risk mitigation can yield significant cost benefits, yet risk assessment procedures are more widely adopted. This webinar details the “how’s” of implementing Risk Mitigation – identifying project risks and their early warning signs.

The complexity of modern construction projects creates great risks for disputes and inefficiency. Good project management demands good risk management and proactive steps to make projects successful.

In a wide-ranging national study analyzing 5,000 projects 43% of owners, A/E firms, and contractors reported that a quarter or fewer firms in the construction industry actually employ risk mitigation and management procedures.

We will review what the study shows to be common patterns in effective risk management and its breakdown of public and private risk and their most effective means of mitigation.

Participants will learn:

• The biggest threats and risks to project success
• Consequences of failing to address these risks
• Best strategies for managing and mitigating risks
• The industry landscape concerning implementation of risk management
• Top line recommendations to improve bottom line project success
