My discussion today is with Robert Mansour. Robert has extensive experience in delivering successful multi-million dollar projects in the commercial, industrial, retail, and oil & gas segments. His experience also includes contract management and negotiations, risk management, coordination of engineering, procurement, and quality monitoring and control. For more information about Robert:
Our discussion focused on the application of risk management within physical projects such as construction or within the nuclear industry. As Robert explains, while risk is sometimes challenging to quantify in certain virtual projects such as software development, this is not the case in physical projects. The application of sound risk management to these projects is absolutely essential.
This is an episode of the Understanding Projects podcast which consists of a series of discussions with PM academics and practitioners about the real world aspects of projects and project management. The podcast is based on the text Understanding Project Management - A Practical Guide by Dave C. Barrett.
