Introduction

One of the major functions of contracting is to ensure that risks to owners and contractor are identified and managed in a way that both parties are satisfied with the project outcome. Analyzing risk and how to deal with it in a post-Pandemic world is at the heart of this training course. Building in coping and disposal mechanisms, accepting the reality of risk-bearing and sharing policies rather than risk diversion and avoidance are key to meeting the challenge of modern contract management. Determining who is responsible for managing each individual risk and understanding and dealing with the consequences should the risk occur is required knowledge for contract professionals.

The following are the highlights of this GLOMACS Contract Risk Management & Compliance training course:
