Description

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. 

Description

This practical two-day workshop introduces the participants to the concepts, principles, 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)
