With the recent rise in unsettling events and disruptions due to weakening global economies and markets and increasing political turmoil affecting multinational company investments and operations, what actions should be taken? Key questions that these events raise are: Could we have better predicted these events and taken the corrective actions to minimize their impact sooner rather than later? Could we have anticipated these events and set up appropriate risk assessment and mitigation strategies with appropriate contingency plans?
According to many experts, a strong risk management and mitigation process, combined with solid program and project management practices, can decrease problems on a project by 80 to 90%. The combination of a good risk management process and plan with best practice project management processes and disciplines is critical in reducing uncertainty, anticipating disruptions, minimizing threats, developing contingency and continuity plans and taking advantage of the right opportunities.
