Virtual Workshop Brief
Risk management can help technical professionals and managers make better and more informed decisions. The benefits of applying risk management principles and tools include savings in resources (both, cost and staffing), accelerated schedules, fewer performance issues, reduced disputes and improved organizational and stakeholder communication and consultation.
In today’s world, words like sustainability, service/design lives, asset management and risk management receive increased attention and emphasis by infrastructure owners in the private and public sectors. However, these terms are not fully mainstreamed into practice nor applied to full potential by many organizations and individual professionals and managers.
Although the risk management process is mainstreamed into the culture and policies/procedures of many organizations, it has to a large degree, been underutilized, misapplied and often misunderstood by many infrastructure managers and technical specialists.
The focus of this 4 hour virtual workshop is to enhance participant’s knowledge and confidence in the effective use of risk management principles and tools to better manage their respective roles and responsibilities to manage risks associated with infrastructure.
This virtual workshop presented a nationally recognized principal engineer and manager who also has considerable risk management experience on infrastructure projects and programs. The following topics will be addressed during this educational program:
- Introduction to Risk Management and the risk management process
- Risk Management Benefits, Limitations and Misapplications
- Types of anticipated organizational, programmatic and project outcomes
- Developing Risk Registers
- Prioritizing Threats and Opportunities
- Implementing and Monitoring Risk Management Plans to meet specific goals and objectives
- Integrating Risk Management into an organization’s culture, policy and processes
Seminar Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Utilize ASCE 7-16 for nonbuilding structures subjected to pertinent load cases
- Coordinate requirements of ASCE 7-16 with those of the 2015 International Building Code and material standards, such as ACI 318-14 (concrete), AISC 360-10 (steel), and others
- Recognize nonbuilding structures not specifically addressed in ASCE 7-16
- Assess the need to justify alternative design solutions for nonbuilding structural systems
Benefits and Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify and examine potential opportunities and threats which may affect achieving goals
- Effective and efficiently apply Risk Management principles within your areas of roles and responsibilities
- Avoid costly over-runs of resources (cost and staff), scheduling delays and incomplete success in meeting your goals (for your area of roles and responsibilities)
- Avoid wasting resources on risk management plans that are not carried through implementation.
- Define success for risk management activities?
- When, how, and under what conditions risk management can be applied and implemented using internal staff and resources.
- Interpret input and results from Risk Management computer tools.
Assessment of Learning Outcomes
Achievement of the learning outcomes by attendees will be assessed through online discussion and case studies. A short post-assessment (true-false, multiple choice and fill in the blank questions) will also be administered.
Who Should Attend
Technical specialist and engineers from all civil engineering disciplines (ex. structural, geotechnical hydraulic, construction and general civil), contractors, (general contractors and specialty contractors) material and product suppliers, mid to upper-level managers.
