CM 02: Applied Risk Management Workshop
About Instructor
INTRODUCTION
Risk is an integral part of every project. It is important to master how to predict and control risks. Most project managers are working in a reactive mode. They respond very quickly to problems and challenges, and they usually control them after the fact, just like fire fighters. Knowing how to predict and work in a proactive mode is a unique skill that is in demand by all construction companies. This is what this workshop is all about.
Workshop Description
This practical two-day workshop introduces the participants to the concepts, principals, processes, and application of risk management to a construction project. The goal is to mitigate or minimize threats and maximize the capture of opportunities during all phases of the project’s life cycle. The workshop enables participants to control their projects (proactive) rather than the traditional approach where the projects are controlling them (reactive)
Who Should Attend
The workshop is designed to address issues from the point of view of the key stakeholders, namely owners, designers and users. The workshop will benefit project managers, project officers, contract officers, or anyone who is involved in the administration of construction contracts or anticipates being involved. The workshop will also benefit client representatives or anyone involved in contract administration of construction projects
