Seminar’s special guest, George Sifri, has discussed risk management from a very specific perspective of large construction projects, in which time plays crucial role and which are subjects of high political and social pressure. During the seminar efficient tools of risk assessment and reaction to risk were presented, alongside with effective tools for assessment and reaction to risk, both at the level of the whole project and on the level of its individual, separate tasks.

Project management is the management of opportunities. It is also a skill of using chances, minimizing threats and obtaining optimal results. Too often risk management is perceived as an intervention action or even is considered to be ineffective. There is hardly anything more wrong than such approach. During the seminar its participants got acquainted with an active approach to opportunities and threats, based on thorough understanding of qualitative power and quantitative method of risk management

Risk management involves analysis of opportunities and threats both from general and detailed perspective, performed with the use of proven tools, considered as the industrial standard in the process of risk management.
