You will learn about risk management and how it can be applied
practically to your contracts and projects in a consistent way. It
will also address how project risk management processes can be
minimised compared to more conventional Enterprise Risk
Management (ERM) processes.
The course will explore the practical application of quantitative
data as well as pre and post contract processes (such as managing
contingency and resolving issues). It will illustrate how optimising
risk management rather than risk allocation can improve contract
outcomes. How to use risk management processes to ‘stress’
contracts will also be addressed so as to identify any weaknesses
in the contract. Recent leading edge developments will be
explored such as integrating value and risk management, and
setting up processes to enable risk management to occur
between the parties pre and post contract.
If you are working with contracts (either in the principal – or a
contractor’s team – employee or consultant) and wanting to see
how risk management can improve contract/project outcomes
then this course is the perfect fit.

-Quantify issues to enhance quicker and more commercially focused contract negotiations
-Develop contracts that are more equitable using risk management
-Learn to use risk processes to ensure the contract is robust (or to find its weaknesses)
-Integrate safety risk management processes that flow from principal to designer, contractor and operators/maintainers
