Risks combine and interact to create turbulence in the time, cost, and scope of the project.

Of the nine knowledge areas of project management, risk management is the most challenging domain for construction professionals due to the shortage of qualified manpower and limited resourceful contracting agencies (technical and commercial).

The process of taking a project from conception to completion is complex and entails time-consuming design and production.

A project goes through various levels of interaction between multitudes of people, with different skill sets competing interests and also involves planning, scheduling, and coordination of a wide range of both independent and interrelated activities.

In addition, the influence of external factors requires this industry to solve complex environmental issues.

In this webinar Manavasi Ramesh (LinkedIn profile) aims to explain risk management principles, the implementation of a risk management plan, and strategies to overcome threats and turn around the perception of risks from negative to positive opportunities.

Manavasi will also focus on the challenges faced by the construction sector to overcome the impact of risks through case studies. The emphasis is on a broader understanding of risk management practices to ensure the success of the projects.

Online Webinar  – Recorded April 12th 2016
Activity Type: Education – Online or Digital Media 1 PDU – Free
Provider: Simplilearn.com (Rep #3147)

In this webinar Susanne reviews the two dimensions of risk and a 9 step risk management process to use with your projects.

The two dimensions of Risks:

• Probability – How likely or unlikely is the risk to happen?
• Impact – What is the effect on the project’s objectives in case it happens?

Risk management matters for avoidance of issues, improve success rate and leverage opportunities.

The 9 Step Risk Management Process:

1. Identify risks and opportunities
2. Analyse root cause
3. Determine impact
4. Assign owners
5. Decide on risk response
6. Determine probability
7. Document risks
8. Communicate risks
9. Regularly review

Susanne believes that a great project manager is first and foremost able to manage his or her own state of mind and that project management success is as much about managing people as it is about managing tasks, plans and resources.

As a result she helps people to look inwards and become a better leader; someone who sets a great personal example, who is excellent at inspiring and focusing the team and who also understands how to liaise with the client and senior stakeholders to deliver that which they really need
