Application examples of the model

Posted by cellinas on 09 Dec 2016 at 14:35 GMT

This model has been subsequently applied to two tackle core challenges in Project Risk Management: "risk and conflict management. In the case of the former (risk), shifts in the susceptibility of a project to systemic risk (in the form of inter-linked failures) are identified. In the case of the latter (conflict), the effect of (sub) contractor activity – in terms of variance and activity pattern – to project systemic risk is assessed"
