Managing complex projects for industry: developing a new approach to risk management

Susan Howick, Fran Ackermann, Lesley Walls, John Quigley, Tom Houghton

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

This presentation discusses a project undertaken for an energy company.
A process is described which assists the company to understand
and manage risks involved with the project. The process involves two
integrated activities; the first engages a range of stakeholders in surfacing
risks and their ramifications in a causal risk map, while the second
elicits expert judgement regarding uncertainties so as to understand
the likelihood of risks occurring through a decision tree approach. The
process has potential across a range of complex project management
situations.
