New Paper “Integration Stages of Project Risk Management (PRM) into Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)”
New paper “Integration Stages of Project Risk Management (PRM) into Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)” co-authored by Intaver Institute staff is published in International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management. Enterprise risk management (ERM) is a relatively new concept for a project-based organization than for a functional organization. A project-based organization, in general, faces several difficulties in the implementation of ERM due to the diversity of risk associated with several projects. From a system thinking perspective, a project-based organization needs an integrated approach to interrelate the isolated processes of diverse projects. The issues are related to fuzzy picture of integration, such as, the difference between ERM and PRM processes, how to integrate the two concepts, what happens if integration process goes wrong, as well as issues with risk technologies and change in risk culture. The article provides informal and formal approaches to integration of ERM and PRM. Successful integration requires not only an understanding the value of integration, improvement in risk culture, but needs a learning-based approach to improve risk expertise, interaction, team building, and decision making.

New webinar: Planning like Goldilocks: how to ensure your cost contingencies are just right
Intaver Institite announced new webinar “Planning like Goldilocks: how to ensure your cost contingencies are just right” on Tuesday, Nov 13, 2018. One of the most common complaints of modern project management is the failure of managers to estimate project costs consistently and accurately. They often either intentionally or unintentionally underestimate cost due to cognitive and motivational biases. Contingencies are spent at the beginning of the projects and projects are completed over budget. At the same time some organizations place premium on ensuring projects do not exceed their budget. As a results contingencies and margins become bloated and the projects become less efficient and competitive. Finding the balance between these opposing influences requires creating risk adjusted project plans that meet the Goldilocks standard: not too little, not too much, but just right. The solution is project cost and schedule risk analysis. To register for webinar please click here.

New article on Event chain diagrams
Intaver Institite published new article on Event chain diagrams. Relationships between project risks can be very complex. Risks can be assigned to different activities and resources, have different probabilities and impacts, and have correlations or act as triggers with each other. Due to this complexity, we recommend visualizing project events and event chains using event chain diagrams. Event chain diagrams use the familiar structure of a Gantt chart to visualize the relationships between project risks. State tables are also a useful tool and can be used to define the state of an activity. This paper provides a specification of Event chain diagrams and State tables along with advice on how to use them effectively.
