Risk Assessment, Mitigation And Management In Epc Projects With Case Study By...HIMADRI BANERJI
Risk Assessment, Analysis, Mitigation and Management of EPC is therefore, of prime importance today especially with newer risks thrown open by the global economic meltdown related risks, risk related liabilities for performance are allocated to the EPC contractor, with instruments as Liquidated Damages, Extended Guarantees, Latent Defect Liabilities etc.
Risk is the big topic of conversation in the compliance industry. Businesses are moving at a faster rate and operations continue to increase in complexity, and yet the need for compliance is stronger than ever. So we need to implement a systematic and objective means to maintain compliance, and keep up with the pace of business.
In just 5 minutes, you'll learn why Risk Assessment is the new benchmark, and how to create a simple Risk Matrix for use in your compliance efforts.

Some people take risks more readily than other people. And risks can be a little scary, whether they involve making a major career change and/or cross-country move, asking for a promotion or a raise, declaring your affection to someone else when you’re not sure how that person feels, or when it necessitates speaking up to someone whose behavior has been making you unhappy. Risks come in all sizes and shapes.
Halverson Group: Six Factors That Drive Every Consumer ChoiceGina Bazer
The way people make decisions impacts their path to purchase. And understanding the moods and motivations behind people’s choices leads to smarter segmentation.
In this tandem letter first Ben Inker shows how risk is something quite separate from volatility and then Jeremy Grantham concludes that this time is – very – different.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Risk management short course

A very short course in risk management
What could go wrong?
Produced by
Square Peg Consulting, LLC
www.sqpegconsulting.com
2. So, what’s a risk?
2
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
An event, outcome, activity, or circumstance
about which there is some uncertainty
3. Always two parameters
3
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
What could happen, to wit:
Impact
How likely for “it” to happen, to wit:
Confidence*
* Anti-confidence: if “it” doesn’t happen, then “anything” else might,
with 100% - %confidence
4. Narrow the scope
4
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
Scope (uncertainty):
Nearly everything
You have to choose what to manage:
What you can’t afford
5. 1% Doctrine
5
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
No matter how unlikely,
if you can’t afford it,
you have to do something about it
6. It’s not about tossing dice
6
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
Games of chance have rules
Rules govern impact and confidence
Management can’t change the rules
A fair die is always fair*
* Fairness: only in the long run; in the short run, the house
often wins. Losers paid for the Las Vegas strip
7. Rules for project uncertainty
7
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
There are no rules
Uncertainty has no rules
Management can intervene
The client is independent
There are no fair die
Stuff happens!
8. Risk management
8
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
Intervention to affect outcomes
Ignore it It might go away; unmanaged; affordable
Insure it It might happen; unaffordable *
Transfer it Give the problem to someone else
Go around it Advance in a different direction
Change
something
Retool, retrain, resource, reorganize
Destroy it ** Unaffordable; go on the offense
* Only to you; insurance companies make money on “expected
value”, the risk-weighted loss
** See: 1% doctrine and pre-emptive methods
9. Risk attitude
9
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
More optimistic, top down
More fact-based outlook
Risk is the balancing quality
Client PM
Time changes everything
More time: more optimism
There’s time to fix it
What you don’t know ….
The future has no facts, so
estimate success
Panic in the last mile
Failure is not an option

Standard interface
Encapsulate to contain risk
within boundaries
• “Hide the sausage making”
• Make a “white” box
“black”
• “Boxes” connect at the point of
delivery
• Loose coupling of the
“white” box details and
risks

Black swan risks
Beyond imagination Myopic
It should never happen Off the chart
Couldn’t see it coming Low on the horizon
Consequential impact “Life” threatening
17. Anti-fragile
If you don’t (or can’t) manage Black Swan risks, what do you
manage?
• System (or personal) fragility
• Ability to absorb shock without catastrophic failure
17
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
Anti-fragile: Another conception of Nassim Taleb
18. Black swan shock absorbers
Anti-fragile Shock absorber
Loose coupling
If one thing blows up, the damage doesn’t
propagate *
Redundancy
Independent, but similar, overlaps and
duplications **
Bend, but don’t break Partial products, “bent and scratch” quality
18

* Fuses, breakable links
** Backup copies; multiple or distributed sites
19. Biases = risks
• Everyone has biases
– Which may present behavior and decision risks in some situations
• Even robots have biases
– They’re programmed by us
– They inherit our moral logic and sense of utility*
– Autonomous vehicle: do I save you or the other guy?
19
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
• Utility: the gap between value and cost
High utility: value and cost are aligned
20. Biases that matter to PM
This stuff matters
Anchor bias
A position everyone is afraid to move too far from----
especially if the anchor is set by an expert or
dominate person (supervisor or superior)
Proximity bias
Reach for the thing that’s closest – typically, inside
the box
Loss aversion
You can’t stand to lose something you have;
fear of change; fear of the unaffordability of the future
Relative utility
$5 matters more to someone who’s hungry and
broke;
aka: Prospect Theory
The value of a prospect is relative to a starting
point. If you’re already rich, a little more doesn’t
matter
20
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
21. Biases that matter to PM
This stuff matters
Number numbness One is a disaster; 1000 is not much more
Optimism bias The future is rosy; there’s always time to fix it
Confirmation bias Readily accept that which confirms your idea
Framing effect
Conclusions depend on presentation and not the
objectivity of the content
21
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
22. Learning points
Learning Point take away Commentary
Two parameters for risk
Impact and confidence; confidence implies
there’s also “something else”
Uncertainty has no rules
There are no fair die; You can manage it, but
it’s always there unless you “destroy it”
Time changes risk attitude The future is rosy; the present, less so
Get loose! Keep risk contained; don’t let it spread
Black swans Even when you’re surprised, be anti-fragile
Biases = risks
Biases have many disparate effects;
maintain awareness
22
Copyright 2017 John Goodpasture All Rights Reserved
23. Thought challenge
Biases are a source of risk, but when you say “risk” people ordinarily
think of undesirable outcomes
Thought challenge: In your business, which are the more
problematic: biases or event and circumstance risks?
