In this Contract Risk Management training, 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.
Upon completion of Contract Risk Management course, participants will be able to:
Understand how to develop an integrated risk management process for all your contracts/project to reduce business risk.
Appreciate how to obtain a realistic contingency for your contracts so as to improve competitiveness as a tenderer or for obtaining project funding.
Use risk management with the parties pre and post contract to gain better contract outcomes.
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.
