Course Description

INTRODUCTION

One of the critical outcomes of contract and project management is to ensure that risks to owners and contractor are identified and controlled in a proactive way so that both parties are satisfied with the project outcome. While world class project and contract management cannot, of itself, make risk “go away”, it can, and should, identify the risks and opportunities, determine who is responsible for managing each individual risk, and for the consequences should the risk occur.

The following are the highlights of this Contract & Project Risk Management & Compliance  training course:

  • Knowledge to move contracts and project management from the tactical / reactive to the more important proactive / strategic focus
  • Critical understandings of the risk mitigation process
  • How to examine both the threats and opportunities facing contracts and projects from both a top-down and bottom-up perspective using a proven risk management processes
  • Skills in allocating contract and procurement risk
  • Ability to identify the warning signs of cost overruns, schedule delays, and poor quality, as early as possible in the project to minimize or mitigate the impact

MODULES

This training course is split into two modules:

MODULE I - Contract Risk Management & Compliance

MODULE II - Project Risk Management & Compliance

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

The primary objectives of this Contract & Project Risk Management & Compliance  training course are to help delegates to:

  • Apply useful techniques in identifying, analyzing, mitigation and monitoring risks in the project life cycle

  • Review the impacts of different approaches to risk allocation
  • Explore different contract types to transfer risks
  • Consider the contractual techniques to ensure effective risk allocation

  • Expanding the expertise of personnel involved in project and contract development and management will allow project, contract, and general management teams to be more effective
