Managing Risks: Safeguarding Project Success
Construction projects come with inherent risks, but effective risk management can significantly enhance project outcomes. The Managing Risks unit in AGC’s Supervisory Training Program, 10th edition focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks to ensure your projects are safe, cost-effective, and on schedule. The highly collaborative virtual program provides instruction via Zoom and is best suited for anyone on a construction jobsite in a supervisory role – from the new supervisor or foreman to the experienced superintendent who is looking to become a more effective manager of people, time, equipment and materials.
- Identifying Risks: Learn how to identify potential risks early in the project lifecycle. Understand the different types of risks, including safety, financial, quality, and schedule-related risks.
- Risk Evaluation and Mitigation: Discover techniques for evaluating risks and developing effective mitigation strategies. Learn how to create solutions that shift risk and enhance project success.
- Comprehensive Risk Management: Understand the importance of a comprehensive risk management plan. Gain skills in implementing and monitoring risk management practices that ensure project resilience and reliability.
This course is 1 of 6 units in the newly updated Supervisory Training Program (STP); a construction-specific training curriculum developed, updated and field-tested by and for contractors. Supervisory skill—or the lack of it—directly affects every company’s bottom line. You make your money in the field, and STP can help you improve your organization’s bottom line.
